PROFILE
Benedict Oakes
During a two-month period, Sam Boakes enhanced the dstl/Stone-Soup repository by introducing a robust CI/CD pipeline and modular plugin architecture using Python and YAML. He implemented CircleCI workflows with multi-version Python testing, code coverage, and automated documentation, streamlining release and testing processes. Sam modularized legacy orbital functions into a new astrodynamics plugin, deprecating older code and providing clear migration guidance to users. His work focused on maintainability and extensibility, with careful documentation and deprecation strategies that reduce technical debt. The changes improved onboarding, clarified upgrade paths, and established a scalable foundation for future development and plugin integration.

Dec 1, 2025December 2025: Implemented a deprecation and migration strategy for orbital functions in Stone-Soup to pave the way for the new astrodynamics plugin. Added top-level deprecation warnings for orbital functions, readers, and types, with explicit migration guidance to remove in future versions. While preserving current compatibility, this work clarifies upgrade paths, reduces long-term maintenance risk, and sets the foundation for a plugin-based architecture that improves extensibility and onboarding for users.
