Nov 1, 2025November 2025 (hpcc-systems/HPCC-Platform) focused on delivering and hardening deployment automation for the hpccsystems-eclide-community client tools and documentation. Implemented GitHub Actions-based CI/CD workflows and deployment configurations to automate building and releasing the client tools and docs across Windows, macOS, and Linux, with cross-OS build improvements to ensure reliable deployments of the latest versions. The primary commit modernized packaging to upload only the hpccsystems-eclide-community package, reducing release noise. No explicit bug fixes were recorded in this period; the automation reduces release risk and manual steps, enabling faster, repeatable deployments across environments. This aligns with business goals of improving client tooling availability and consistency across platforms.
