Stu Brittain worked on stabilizing and modernizing the build and deployment workflows for the firelab/windninja repository, focusing on C++ and CMake. He integrated VCPKG-based dependency management for external libraries such as Boost and GDAL, streamlining library discovery and linking to improve build reproducibility and reduce environment drift. Stu also enhanced initialization routines by implementing explicit GDAL/OGR registration and selective Time Zone database loading, while optimizing Windows packaging and deployment messaging. His work included adding a CMake option for selective data installation, reducing install time and disk usage. These changes improved startup reliability, deployment predictability, and cross-platform maintainability.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 — Focused on stabilizing initialization, deployment, and data installation workflows for firelab/windninja. Delivered granular initialization control (explicit GDAL/OGR registration, selective Time Zone DB loading) with standardized naming and Windows packaging improvements. Added FIRE_BEHAVIOR_DATA_INSTALL CMake option to selectively install only necessary data files (date_time_zonespec.csv and tz_world.zip), reducing install time and disk usage. These changes improve startup reliability, deployment predictability, and cross-platform packaging, enabling faster releases and easier Windows configuration.
