Concise monthly summary for February 2025: In itchyny/go, delivered a targeted documentation improvement clarifying SWIG build requirements for Go packages. The update specifies that a Go package using SWIG must contain at least one .go file in addition to .swig or .swigcxx files, reducing build-time confusion and errors for users integrating SWIG with Go. No major bugs were reported; work focused on documentation quality and developer onboarding. The change improves build reliability and reduces troubleshooting time for SWIG-Go users, especially for new contributors.
