April 2026
22 Commits • 6 Features
Apr 1, 2026April 2026 focused on performance, data integrity, and migration readiness for nyaruka/rapidpro. Key deliverables include UUID-based contact exports with lazy loading to improve export performance and data safety for non-search queries, a multi-phase Org.root_location migration (dual-write from Org.country, backfilled data, and eventual switch to root_location as the sole source of truth), and BSUID URN scheme support to improve interoperability with courier/mailroom workflows. Code quality was elevated via Ruff-based import sorting, and critical data-entry correctness improvements were implemented for CountryForm. Minor release engineering work included maintaining the CHANGELOG across v26.x releases and tightening organization scoping on views for better isolation. These changes collectively boost export speed and reliability, data integrity during migrations, security/isolation of org-scoped data, and release readiness.
