Month: 2025-10 | For the spm/spm repository, the month focused on delivering a reusable asset workflow and strengthening CI to support the latest Matlab release. Key features delivered: - Save Generated Logos as PNG: Added a save option to spm_logo.m that saves the generated logo as spm_logo.png when the input flag S.save is true, using saveas. This enhances asset reusability and streamlines downstream usage across projects. Commit: b385fe... (Enhancement: added save option to spm_logo.m). - CI Improvement: Support Matlab R2025a: Updated GitHub Actions workflow to expand the matrix to include Matlab version R2025a, ensuring testing against the latest Matlab release for compatibility and reliability. Commit: c66a321... (Updated Github Actions for Matlab 2025a). Major bugs fixed: None reported this month. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Business value: Faster asset generation and reuse (logos), reduced manual steps, and a more reliable CI pipeline that aligns with customer environments. - Technical accomplishments: MATLAB function enhancement, automated asset export, and version-aware CI matrix updates that mitigate regression risk. Technologies/skills demonstrated: MATLAB scripting and file I/O (saveas), feature flag handling, GitHub Actions CI matrix expansion, cross-version compatibility testing, and release engineering.

April 2025 for spm/spm: Focused maintenance on installation guidance reliability. Core effort: fix Installation Link Path issues in spm_check_installation.m so that, on compilation failure, users land on the correct installation docs, including platform-specific anchors. This reduces dead links and accelerates onboarding for new users and developers.

March 2025 — spm/spm monthly summary: Key feature enhancements, bug fixes, and developer enablement focused on FMRI DCM robustness and contribution onboarding.

February 2025 highlights: Strengthened release readiness, boosted test reliability, and expanded kernel modeling capabilities for the SPM suite. These efforts reduce deployment risk, accelerate issue diagnosis, and enable more robust analytics for customers.

Concise monthly summary for 2025-01 (repo: spm/spm): Delivered branding-related UI update and expanded QA coverage for server connectivity, with no major bugs fixed in this period. These efforts reduce branding risk and improve reliability ahead of branding rollout and server-dependent features.

Month 2024-11: Delivered reliability and governance improvements across spm/spm and spm-docs, focusing on flexible data generation, attribution hygiene, and documentation integrity. Key outcomes include enabling GCM file generation to handle varying per-subject scan counts, updating the AUTHORS/contributors list for clearer attribution, and removing broken external links in the Visual Inspection Tutorial to maintain doc quality.
