March 2026 monthly summary for AVSLab/basilisk: Delivered a critical reliability fix in the Dispersions module that enables dynamic updating of ClassicElements during Monte Carlo simulations, addressing a read-only constraint that previously impeded updates. This fix improves the fidelity of probabilistic analyses and confidence in simulation results.

Month 2025-10: Stability and packaging hardening for AVSLab/basilisk. Delivered a targeted fix to setup.py PY_VERSION_HEX, ensuring the minor version is formatted as two-digit hex to match Python's C API versioning, preventing build/config failures and smoothing CI/build pipelines. This strengthens release reliability and reduces maintenance overhead.
