Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary for girder/large_image focused on platform stabilization, security hygiene, and robustness improvements that deliver measurable business value for data pipelines and visualization workflows. Implemented cross-cutting Python version policy (3.9+) and GDAL compatibility, with codebase-wide updates to CI, pre-commit hooks, and setup requirements; changelog updated to reflect deprecation of Python 3.8. Enhanced TIFF/OME-TIFF reading reliability by adding an in-house fallback for JPEG tiles and hardening handling for complex planar configurations. Improved annotation handling by fixing duplicate PATCH IDs, refining annotation counts aggregation, and trading some DocumentDB functionality for faster, more reliable queries. Strengthened multi-source JSON error reporting with clearer validation messages, reducing investigation time during ingest. Completed security hardening of test environments by updating dependencies to address CVEs and removing outdated Python versions. Committed a series of coordinated changes across the repository."
