May 2025

1 Commits

May 1, 2025

May 2025 monthly summary for JetBrainsRuntime: Key fix delivering cross-arch compatibility; no new features this month, but a critical reliability improvement. Main effort: resolve glibc 2.42 name collision by renaming uabs() to g_uabs in assembly/optimization code across AArch64 and RISC-V. This prevents build failures and ensures compatibility with newer glibc versions, reducing release risk and improving platform stability. Committed as 38bb8adf4f632b08af15f2d8530b35f05f86a020 (8354941).

3 Commits

Dec 1, 2024

December 2024 monthly summary for JetBrainsRuntime: Delivered targeted reliability improvements to JLink involving run-time image linking and module-path validation. Consolidated fixes to enhance linking reliability: better error handling when linking from runtime images; correct module dependency resolution for --limit-module; enforce explicit --module-path with ALL-MODULE-PATH and prevent conflicting options (--limit-modules). These changes reduce linking failures and improve determinism in runtime-image packaging, enabling faster, more reliable builds and deployments.
