June 2026 monthly summary for ruby/rdoc: Delivered a critical documentation correctness fix to ensure accurate author attribution for the Aliki HTML generator in the RDoc help output. The change updates the formatter attribution from Michael Granger to Stan Lo, aligning credits with actual contributions and improving contributor recognition. This work was implemented via commit 83bbaafff5c1955a7b86e00c0fdee5cad56205bc, part of the broader effort to maintain high-quality, trustworthy documentation.

May 2026 focused on stabilizing the Markdown parsing path in ruby/rdoc. Delivered a robustness improvement by ignoring inline notes during the initial reference parsing pass until footnote ordering is established, preventing crashes and NoMethodError when parsing inline notes in reference labels. The change reduces failure modes in documentation parsing and improves reliability for downstream tooling that consumes rdodoc output. This work strengthens the parsing pipeline with minimal performance impact and underpins safer documentation generation for users.
