Month: 2025-12 — Focused on strengthening calendar-related tests and Temporal API reliability in test262. Delivered cross-calendar test suite cleanup and relocation for Intl Era Monthcode (Hebrew, Japanese, Persian, Chinese), consolidating roundtrip tests and refining date-from and ESID/metadata handling. Added TemporalHelpers enhancements including auto-computing of PlainYearMonth ref day and improved fast-path checks. Expanded test coverage to PlainYearMonth by adapting daysInMonth, with, since/until, and add/subtract tests; introduced tests for PlainYearMonth addition in leap years. Performed targeted test data and formatting cleanup (extraneous data, blank lines, semicolons) to reduce noise and CI flakiness.

Nov 1, 2025

Month 2025-11: Focused on strengthening Temporal correctness and cross-calendar i18n test coverage in test262, with significant expansions to unit tests, end-to-end scenarios, and test organization. Delivered targeted Temporal feature tests validating internal duration representation to ensure consistent arithmetic across implementations. Expanded Intl Era Monthcode test suite across Hebrew, Chinese/Dangi, Hijri, and Orthodox calendars to cover leap months, era arithmetic, end-of-month constraints, and cross-calendar addition/subtraction. Added support for creating Chinese and Dangi calendar dates with options to constrain results, including overflow: 'reject', in from() calls. Extended constraint tests for East Asian calendars (Chinese, Dangi) in both addition and with() contexts to catch edge cases. Improved test organization for ISO8601 PlainDate tests by topic and moved end-of-month tests out of staging, improving maintainability and test execution efficiency.
