October 2025 performance: Delivered the 2.214 release across compression modules in Perl/perl5 (Compress-Raw-Zlib, Compress-Raw-Bzip2, IO-Compress) with notable cross-module improvements. Implemented zlib-ng 2.x support in Compress-Raw-Zlib; updated versions and packaging for Compress::Raw::Bzip2; and IO-Compress fixes including Gzip export tag handling and CI YAML indentation corrections. CI/CD hygiene improved with dependabot config and workflow updates; Windows-specific YAML corrections and cross-OS CI improvements (including FreeBSD image updates). This release enhances compatibility, stability, and downstream developer experience while maintaining robust packaging and release engineering practices.
