Sep 1, 2025

September 2025 highlights: Focused on Hermes API consolidation, runtime exposure, and SHUnit integration to streamline Hermes usage across Facebook Hermes and React Native. Delivered API surface consolidation and backend enhancements, unified instrumentation for opcode/stats, and introduced SHUnit support enabling flexible JavaScript evaluation. Expanded Hermes runtime exposure via hermes.h and centralized profiling under JSI Instrumentation. Refactors migrated IHermesExtra into IHermes and relocated related methods, reducing maintenance burden and improving cross-repo consistency. No major bugs fixed this month; the work primarily established a stronger foundation for RN integration and performance diagnostics.
