2024-11: Focused on cross-platform packaging improvements for microsoft/vcpkg. Delivered a Serf library port with SCons-based build, enabling release and debug configurations and cross-platform dependencies (APR/APR-UTIL, OpenSSL, ZLIB). Implemented Windows fixups for dynamic/static linking and ensured proper installation of libraries, headers, and pkgconfig files. No major bugs fixed this month. Impact: broader Serf support across Windows/Linux/macOS, faster downstream builds, and more robust packaging.
