May 1, 2025May 2025 firmware work focused on cross-platform stability and maintainability. Addressed a critical macOS naming conflict by renaming PATH_MAX to SERIAL_PATH_MAX in monitor.c and updating SERIAL_PATH_SIZE, preventing clashes with macOS SDK constants and ensuring correct buffer sizing. This change reduces build failures on macOS and improves code readability and consistency. The fix was implemented in commit be3dcccaefea641b34bedad0bdb6662df147f21a. No user-facing features deployed this month; the work emphasizes robustness and long-term maintainability, contributing to smoother OTA releases and broader platform compatibility.
