May 2025 monthly summary for IntersectMBO/cardano-haskell-packages. Focused on deprecating legacy compiler support to streamline builds and reduce maintenance: removed GHC 8.10 support from CHaP, updated configuration files, and tightened build constraints to target modern GHC versions. No major bug fixes reported this month; improvements center on build reliability and future-proofing. Commit eaea1a002f1692dfa4012e677fa69811ba707ada documents the change.

April 2025 monthly summary for tweag/hoarding-cardano-node: - Focused on stabilizing the development environment by addressing Haskell Language Server (HLS) compatibility issues and ensuring reproducible builds in the Nix devshell. - Scope included updating dependency pins and maintaining alignment with CHaP and hackageNix to reflect the rollback. Key deliverables and outcomes: - Haskell Language Server compatibility rollback in the Nix development shell from 2.9 to 2.8 to resolve regressions affecting the Cardano-node workspace. - Updated flake.lock entries for CHaP and hackageNix to reflect the rollback, ensuring consistent dev shell behavior across environments. Major bugs fixed: - HLS compatibility regressions in the Nix devshell resolved by rolling back to HLS 2.8, reducing development-time build/test failures. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Nix/Nix Flakes, devshell configuration, dependency pinning, and dev environment maintenance. - Haskell tooling integration and language server compatibility considerations. Overall impact and business value: - Stabilized the developer experience for the Cardano-node project, enabling faster iteration cycles, easier onboarding, and more reliable local testing. - Maintained reproducible builds and reduced environment-related blockers, contributing to on-time delivery and code quality improvements.

In 2024-10, focused on release readiness and dependency stabilization for the tweag/hoarding-cardano-node repository. Delivered configuration-only updates that bumped cardano-node to 10.1.2 and refreshed the index-state for cardano-haskell-packages, aligning tooling and dependencies for upcoming releases.
