Oct 1, 2025October 2025: Delivered a robust fix to the Hurl tool download in the Route Test Workflow for the appsmithorg/appsmith project, addressing upstream changes and improving test reliability across architectures (ARM/x86). The fix dynamically selects the correct binary for the host and installs it directly to the system PATH, reducing setup friction in CI and local environments.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 — appsmith: Delivered key features, reliability fixes, and enterprise readiness across the main repo. Focused on traceability, security, developer experience, and EE readiness to drive faster, safer releases and broader platform support. Key features delivered: - Docker image traceability and OCI-compliant metadata labeling: added build details (commit SHAs) to image labels for both release and CI-built images, enabling end-to-end traceability of build provenance (commits 6604f36bc164c560e6e3b03022ecdb63e9e97ff5; b442ca930eaf1ba309e056694f73378cec82f471). - Enable Keycloak authentication by default in deployment previews: fixed misconfiguration that disabled embedded Keycloak, ensuring authentication is enabled by default in previews (commit 35b487a2b82e66cb8d9b6f5bc215e0d9600af8ee). - Developer experience and code quality improvements: RTS source maps for better error traces; simplified ResponseDTO constructors; import system refinements; CI/testing workflow improvements (commits 24f5a9e1cc732a2d1904287a608f118a3df7f695; e8eb4a39473c95f204e35606f8e42a1b0204ea7e; b07bb97c572fa437470673e787352dbe65285e50; 1db0ad25fd883c8a9db0890889e4f2530438b0d7; ec39a210e1c631800d07998ff23eed8129d604fe; 5c929062931719d8444b402d331675afad713457). - Enterprise Edition server support: refactor to enable running the server on EE using shared CE code plus EE extensions (commit c2bef377ab1a6a85550964be0d42e4e472269a2e). Major bugs fixed: - Keycloak by default in deployment previews: fixed env misconfiguration that disabled embedded Keycloak, ensuring authentication is enabled by default (commit 35b487a2b82e66cb8d9b6f5bc215e0d9600af8ee).
