May 1, 2025May 2025 monthly summary for samvera/hyrax. Delivered a critical bug fix in characterization property versioning to ensure proper overwrite behavior during versioning, preventing stale metadata values. Maintained mime_type as the last value and applied maximum height/width when updating properties. Result: more accurate and reliable characterization metadata across versions and fewer downstream inconsistencies.
