August 2025 monthly summary for haikuports/haikuports: - Focused on upgrading the crypto stack and packaging workflow to OpenSSL 3 across Rust and Wasm binaries, ensuring compatibility with the latest toolchain and security standards. Upgraded to OpenSSL 3.0 (1.89.0) and aligned dependency requirements and checksums. Removed the RLS component to streamline runtime footprint and reduce maintenance overhead. Key changes were delivered under the commits: ca2ca5fe7633cf837432a19f6f27fe56b3a04fb7 (rust_bin: Update to 1.89.0. This includes a switch to openssl3 (#12741)).

December 2024 monthly summary: Delivered essential tooling modernization and API coverage improvements to strengthen Haiku OS support and build reliability. Key outcomes include upgrading the Rust toolchain to 1.83.0 across haikuports and updating distribution checksums, refactoring libc BSD API into a dedicated bsd.rs file with no functional changes, and expanding Haiku bindings by adding kevent, I/O constants, mkstemps, strtonum, preadv, pwritev, and wait4 in libc, plus libbsd.so improvements. These efforts enhanced portability, developer ergonomics, and readiness for future releases.
