In January 2026, FreeCAD/FreeCAD delivered a targeted feature to strengthen build stability and cross-platform compatibility by implementing Qt6 Wayland dependency management. Specifically, qt6-wayland was added as a dependency in recipe.yaml and the version range was pinned in pixi.toml, ensuring stable, repeatable builds across environments. This change, captured in commit 44fd6754d8eb82c2ff62ced3a9555a9c778280b5 with message 'Pixi: Fix qt6-wayland dep', reduces build flakiness, supports smoother Wayland/Qt6 integration, and lays groundwork for future platform enhancements. The work aligns with broader maintenance goals and improves release reliability.

April 2025 (2025-04) monthly summary for thorvg/thorvg: Implemented automated source archive packaging via GitHub Actions for published releases. The workflow checks out the repo, cleans development resources, builds a gzipped tarball of the source, uploads it as a release asset, and updates CONTRIBUTORS with the author name. This automation reduces manual release steps, improves release reproducibility, and accelerates delivery to contributors and downstream users.
