June 2025 monthly work summary for JetBrains/intellij-plugin-verifier: Delivered Fleet product compatibility enhancements by refactoring the versioning to align with IntelliJ's versioning system, adding new descriptor specifications, and updating compatibility checks to correctly identify and validate Fleet products across different IntelliJ versions (commit 4b857574998ab67a2827eb22c50fed2156c87527). Fixed parsing of comma-separated product codes in the Fleet plugin descriptor; updated parsing logic to form a correct set and expanded tests to reflect the new behavior (commit b6d77a723abf0afd7a2c331fbd52d72cc9bc72b2). These changes improve cross-version compatibility assurance and descriptor reliability across the repository JetBrains/intellij-plugin-verifier.

In April 2025, delivered a key data-model refactor for Edu tasks in JetBrains/intellij-plugin-verifier, introducing EduTask DTO and EduTaskField bean to separate data transfer from bean representation. This clarifies the Edu task management model, improves data handling, and reduces coupling between API and UI layers. The change aligns with ongoing plugin maintenance and sets the stage for safer, faster future changes. Commit: e0b6e840bde9d02f3a853505ecdc9f40220fd70d ('Split DTO and bean for Edu tasks field (#1240)').
