Jul 1, 2025

Summary for July 2025 (jax-ml/jax): Delivered stability and release-readiness for JAX by fixing XLA dependency retrieval, aligning to JAX 0.7.0, and tightening CI caches. XLA: reverted incorrect shasum calculation and switched to a direct GitHub archive fetch with an adjusted strip-prefix to ensure reliable XLA dependency retrieval. JAX 0.7.0: updated version requirements in jax/version.py and setup.py to support jaxlib 0.7.0 and libtpu 0.0.19.*. CI: refactored Bazel resultstore and RBE caches to be CI-specific and improved remote build cache settings, reducing build times. Impact: reduces flaky builds, accelerates release cycles, and improves CI efficiency. Technologies: Git, Bazel, RBE, tarball fetch strategies, Python packaging, dependency/version management.
