July 2025 monthly summary for arcaneframework/framework: Delivered VTK 9 compatibility across build system and codebase, enabling smoother transition to VTK 9 and future-proofing for upcoming versions. Implemented a version-detection helper, CMake finders for vtk9 packages, and build-time guards to support both VTK 8 and 9+, with package prefix adaptations to maintain compatibility. Ported VtkPolyhedralMeshIOService.cc to VTK 9 and updated tests to reflect vtk9 package-name evolution. Fixed a compiler compatibility regression on older MSVC by correcting std::isspace usage in IosFile.goToEndOfLine, ensuring consistent behavior across compiler versions.
