Mar 1, 2025March 2025 focused on enabling programmatic AML job execution, stabilizing the developer experience, and tightening release automation. Key outcomes include a new AML job submission API and runtime integration (refactoring amlruntime into rats.aml with app context/collection/container management), CI/CD enhancements for automated release drafts and PR permissions, and major improvements in project structure and developer tooling. Additional impact came from safer type hints and an empty-collection utility, cross-component shell execution with rats-ez run, and dependency/version alignment to the 0.8.0 baseline, all contributing to faster delivery, reduced toil, and improved reliability.
