May 2026 (FuelLabs/sway): Stabilized developer experience and ensured release reliability through two high-impact changes. LSP stability improvement by flattening deeply nested left-associative tuple codec expressions, eliminating stack-overflow crashes and stale semantic tokens in editors (commits under std codec generation; c53e7e0cb9183f5ef09c14d4eba94ef4f7e284ce). Upgraded sway-lib-std to 0.71.2 to fix crates.io publish failures and improve compatibility with the latest codebase; this included patching core2 rev and bumping cid to 0.11.3.
