Includes RFC 1918 private ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) and link-local 169.254.0.0/16. Breaking-change: users can no longer access internal network ranges via route-services. Commit: 86b61c986578e0a449fb3361a4d60173f9d3dc99. No explicit bugs fixed were recorded in this period in the provided data. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Faster PR throughput due to streamlined reviewers and clarified approver roles. - Strengthened security posture by defaulting to block internal/private IP access in route services, reducing exposure to internal networks. - Clear breaking-change governance for roadmap and user communications. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Git-based version control and commit hygiene - Code-review process optimization and governance - Network security concepts (RFC 1918, private IP ranges, link-local addresses) - Secure-by-default design and breaking-change handling - Cross-repo collaboration for security and workflow improvements

April 2025: CloudFoundry routing-release delivered key improvements to client certificate verification and error messaging, enhancing security posture and operational clarity. Achievements include enabling OU-based client certificate verification and correcting a config template typo to report the correct client_ca_certs parameter, reducing user confusion and support follow-ups.
