January 2026 (2026-01) – Quarkus Test Framework: Focused on hardening configuration handling and stability. Key deliverable: a bug fix that filters the SERIALIZED_TEST_APP_MODEL property from system properties, preventing propagation of unnecessary serialized data across environments. This reduces configuration noise, prevents potential leakage of serialized model data, and improves consistency in test runs. No new features released this month; emphasis on bug resolution, maintainability, and resilience. Technologies demonstrated: Java, Quarkus, build/CI tooling, and property filtering/prop propagation concepts.
