Feb 1, 2025February 2025 monthly summary for AVSLab/basilisk: Focused on stabilizing cross‑platform builds and expanding MuJoCo simulation capabilities while improving code hygiene and documentation. Delivered a Windows DLL copy fix to resolve build-time errors, integrated MuJoCo as a Conan package with runtime support, replay utilities, unit tests, and multi‑platform scenarios, and enhanced CI and documentation. Also improved repository hygiene by excluding user-specific CMake presets from version control, reducing risky commits and keeping the repo clean. These efforts yield more reliable builds, richer simulation tooling, and a cleaner codebase for faster feature delivery and customer value.
