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)').
