366 Commits • 62 Features
Oct 1, 2025October 2025 (2025-10) delivered substantial stability and modernization across macports/macports-ports by combining targeted feature work, critical bug fixes, and a broad rollout of Python 3.14 (py314) subport adoption. Key outcomes include patching numpy for py39, fixing livecheck gaps for numpy subports, upgrading essential Python tooling and core libraries, advancing py314 adoption across dozens of ports, and introducing new ports to broaden Python ecosystem support. The effort also included packaging cleanup and dependency pruning to reduce maintenance overhead and improve build reliability.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025: MacPorts ports tree advanced Python ecosystem maturity and platform readiness. Key wins include enabling NumPy v2 compatibility across core scientific ports, delivering a new PyFlasgger port, expanding Python 3.13 readiness (ledger runtime and numerous py313 subports), and modernizing the Qt/PyQt toolchain. Maintenance focus encompassed Django ecosystem upkeep, port index/test reliability improvements, and broader package hygiene (removal of deprecated subports). These efforts increase supported workloads, reduce patch debt, and improve build reliability for analytics, web services, and scientific workloads.
