July 2025 (2025-07) performance highlights across RimSort/RimSort focused on delivering business value through robust localization, reliable Git integration, UI/UX improvements, and streamlined Windows distribution. Key outcomes include a comprehensive Localization and Translation Automation overhaul with Russian language support, improved translations for FR/JA/ES/RU, refined translation loading using system and Qt translations, enhanced language detection, and an automated translation workflow for unfinished strings. Git integration reliability was strengthened via centralized pygit2 imports and SSL handling with a robust SSL fallback, plus an updated update UI that shows clearer commit information and avoids thread blocking. Mod list export error handling was refined to remove redundant warnings and provide detailed error information. The Troubleshooting UI and main layout received a cross-theme redesign with scrollable content for accessibility and a resizable horizontal splitter for mod panels. Windows MSI packaging and release workflow were added to create and upload MSI installers for Windows builds using WiX Toolset, including custom actions and artifact handling. Overall, these efforts improved reliability, developer efficiency, and distribution readiness, driving faster delivery of high-quality features to users.
