February 2025 (2025-02) — Focused on documentation quality improvements for the Payload project. The primary work item was correcting a typo in the Jobs Queue Workflows configuration to ensure the configuration parameter is accurately described for JS-based workflows. This update improves developer onboarding, reduces potential misconfigurations, and lowers support friction. No code features were shipped this month; the emphasis was on documentation fidelity and reliability. All changes are captured in the commit dc56acbdafa1ad0e66e75fe20c02db14268c211b (docs: typo in jobs queue workflows, #11063).
