December 2025 was a growth-focused month for JuliaRegistries/General, delivering substantial expansion and modernization of the JLL ecosystem. Key add-ons included Protocol Buffers JLL stack integration with five new Protocol Buffers JLLs (v3.16.0+0) and a v3.16.1+0 ecosystem upgrade, and the addition of Tree-sitter JLL packages for nonmem and R (with further bindings across MATLAB and FORTRAN). A broad wave of core library/tooling upgrades increased stability, security, and performance (examples include Enzyme, NEO, iceberg_rust_ffi, Glib, GraphicsMagick, ImageMagick, aws_lc, aws_c_auth, and Reactant). ONNX_static_jll was introduced to provide a statically linked runtime, enhancing deployment flexibility. A set of new packages and dependency refreshes—such as OSRM_jll, libosrmc_jll, MPark_Variant_jll, ports_of_call_jll, sequentialknn_jll, and TCLAP_jll—further broaden platform support and build resilience. Overall, these changes improve data interchange, parsing capabilities, security posture, and downstream build reliability while enabling faster delivery of feature-rich applications.
