September 2025 focused on delivering reproducible builds and enabling HPC-based model evaluation. Delivered a new 'othpc' tool in the staged-recipes repository to evaluate simulation models on SLURM-based HPC clusters, and improved OpenModelica build reproducibility by pinning bootstrapping sources to a tarball. These changes enhance reliability, speed up validation, and reduce CI churn across conda-forge and OpenModelica.

June 2025 highlights for ERGO-Code/HiGHS: Improved build clarity and CI efficiency through targeted build-system refinements. Delivered a corrected CMake build status message, and implemented Unity Build support in CMake with CI integration. Targeted adjustments (disable for several targets, skip a source) resolved redefinition issues while preserving speedups. Result: quicker feedback loops, reduced user confusion on outputs, and more reliable builds across targets.

April 2025 monthly summary focusing on stability and build reliability for OpenModelica/OpenModelica. Delivered a critical backend build fix by linking the expat library (FMIL namespace) to omcbackendruntime, addressing a blocking build failure and improving CI reliability. This work enables downstream backend features and smoother integration with FMIL-based components.
