Nov 1, 2025November 2025 focused on stabilizing the test suite and modernizing CI/infrastructure for OpenRefine/OpenRefine. Key outcomes include stabilizing database tests by addressing singleton initialization race conditions, re-enabling previously disabled tests, and upgrading the logging library to improve test observability. In parallel, we enhanced test infrastructure and CI with updates to TestNG DTD (v1.1) for compatibility and functionality, and migrated the MacOS CI runner to macOS 15 Intel, ensuring continued support and smoother cross-platform validation. These changes reduce flaky tests, shorten feedback loops, and position the project for easier future releases across environments.
