Month: 2025-10 — TeamNewPipe/NewPipe: Built a robust build-system modernization and maintenance initiative. Migrated from Groovy DSL to Kotlin DSL for builds, introduced a Gradle version catalog for centralized dependency management, removed deprecated archivesBaseName, centralized JDK toolchain configuration within the java block, and stabilized the build by cleaning up a temporary sorting revert. These changes reduce build fragility, simplify maintenance, and enable faster CI iterations.
