Mar 1, 2026March 2026 monthly summary for opentripplanner/OpenTripPlanner: Delivered a resilient MQTT startup behavior by introducing a connectionStartupTimeout feature. This allows the system to wait for a configurable duration for the MQTT broker to become available at startup. If the broker is not reachable within this window, routing requests proceed without real-time MQTT data while continuing to attempt background reconnection to restore live feeds as soon as possible.

Oct 1, 2025October 2025 focused on strengthening the OpenTripPlanner test infrastructure through targeted fixture refactors and quality improvements. The work delivered a clearer, more maintainable test fixture architecture: TestVertexLinker reorganized and renamed to VertexLinkerTestFactory, ListCompositeDataSource moved into the test-fixtures API package, and test code cleaned up by removing unused imports and tightening style. A Prettier configuration change complemented these efforts to enforce consistency across tests. While there were no customer-facing bug fixes this month, the changes reduce test fragility, accelerate CI feedback, and lay a solid foundation for scalable test coverage in future sprints.
