Feb 1, 2025February 2025 (datastax/pulsar) - Focused on stabilizing the CI environment by reverting a Docker data-root change. Reverted the configuration that set Docker data-root to /mnt/docker, restoring the default data-root to mitigate CI disk-space issues and maintain build stability. This ensures consistent environments and provides a clear audit trail via the revert commit eb2fae55f032cc4678863d96d9feaab40a09616f.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024 monthly summary for datastax/pulsar focusing on test infrastructure and reliability improvements. Implemented a deterministic fix for ProxyAuthorizationWithoutImplicitPermissionOnSubscriptionTest by pre-provisioning a dedicated topic and cleaning up after test assertions, eliminating a recurring 'topic not found' error and stabilizing the test environment.
