In August 2025, delivered a focused dependency management cleanup in the apache/felix-dev repository by removing embedded Apache Commons and FileUpload libraries from Jetty. This change enforces external library governance, reduces dependency conflicts, and simplifies future upgrades across Felix dev components. The work improves build stability, reproducibility, and maintainability, delivering clearer dependency trees and long-term scalability for downstream modules.

February 2025 (2025-02): Implemented a configurable disable option for discovery in the Document Node Store of Apache Jackrabbit Oak, reducing unnecessary discovery traffic in specific deployments and improving startup performance. The change introduces a new boolean property invisibleForDiscovery and updates DocumentNodeStoreService to respect it. Includes unit tests to verify behavior, aligning with code quality and maintainability goals. This work enhances configurability and scalability for large deployments while maintaining backward compatibility.
