Dec 1, 2025December 2025 monthly summary for AVSLab/basilisk focused on delivering a more robust data provisioning workflow, improving compatibility across Python versions, and establishing formal release governance. Key actions include migrating supportData handling to a Pooch-based fetch system (removing inline supportData files from distributions), enhancing type hints with Optional to support Py<3.10, and authoring comprehensive release process documentation to standardize versioning, release branches, and changelog management. Additionally, documentation updates accompany release notes and known-issue guidance for the dentonFluxModel configuration to aid users and maintainers.
