Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary for ultimate-pa/ultimate. Focused on release readiness for SMT-COMP 2025 and improving reliability, performance, and maintainability. Delivered automated scripts and license/package setup for SMT-COMP 2025 participation, integrated UltimateEliminator with MathSAT, and prepared release artifacts. Implemented deterministic shuffling to eliminate nondeterminism in counterexamples, and strengthened core data models by adding proper hashCode/equals for Word and NestedWord. Improved codebase hygiene and UI/UX by renaming internal terms, updating whitelist/config, and removing the Optimizations group. Enhanced testing and benchmarking by annotating Boogie files with expected results and reorganizing benchmarks. Added a shell script to detect obsolete .epf settings, setting up future cleanups.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025: Focused on stability, configuration integrity, and validation improvements for the ultimate-pa/ultimate repository. Key outcomes include reverting a risky IcfgBuilder migration to rcfgbuilder, restoring the original Boogie Preprocessor behavior for while/conditional replacements, unifying pointer dereference validity checks across configuration, frontend, and docs, and expanding test coverage with a new toy loop invariant example. Also addressed a JSON handling fix to improve data parsing/generation. Overall impact: increased reliability, reduced risk of breakages during config changes, and stronger validation and documentation.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025: Delivered three core features to unify program point handling and improve verification robustness, along with packaging automation for CHC-COMP 2025. Key changes include LOI standardization across ICFG, Floyd-Hoare verification, and referee tooling with label support and a consistency check; a new option preserves LOIs and loop locations during Large Block Encoding (LBE) to protect critical nodes; and release scripts and wrappers were prepared to package TreeAutomizer and Unihorn for CHC-COMP 2025. Business value is improved verification accuracy, reduced risk of unintended node removals, and faster, compliant competition submissions. Stakeholders benefit from clearer, traceable program point handling and a streamlined release workflow.
