January 2026: Delivered two high-impact BitSerializer improvements across microsoft/vcpkg and conan-center-index, strengthening serialization capabilities, distribution options, and dependency hygiene. Upgraded to BitSerializer v0.85 for enhanced multi-format serialization, and added a shared library build while removing deprecated dependencies to improve modularity and downstream integration. These changes reduce maintenance burden and set the stage for broader platform support.

May 2025 was focused on dependency management and build simplification for microsoft/vcpkg. Primary effort delivered an upgrade of the BitSerializer port to v0.80 and removal of the unused cpprestjson-archive feature, with corresponding updates to source references and SHA512 checksums to ensure reproducible builds and supply-chain integrity.

January 2025: Focused BitSerializer Port Maintenance in microsoft/vcpkg. Upgraded BitSerializer to v0.75 to ensure stable releases and improve build reproducibility, and removed deprecated aliases across multiple ports to reduce maintenance burden and prevent empty packages. Also cleaned outdated configurations to simplify future maintenance. This work improves build reliability, reduces risk of broken ports, and provides a cleaner upgrade path for BitSerializer.
