Aug 1, 2025August 2025: Focused on stabilizing RAP 4.4 release readiness in the SimRel build pipeline. Delivered key feature: RAP Tools 4.4 release management and build configuration updates, including switching to M3 milestone and aligning RC1/RC2 with the latest artifacts by updating repository URLs. This aligns the release process with the 2025-09 plan and reduces artifact misreferences in downstream builds. Major bug fix: removed the RAP Runtime validation set from the SimRel contribution to resolve integration and version conflicts; RAP Runtime artifacts remain available from their original project repositories. These changes reduce build failures and simplify artifact provenance.
