March 2026 monthly summary for conda-forge/staged-recipes. Key delivery includes Maketables 0.1.8 with a publication-ready tables workflow derived from regression results and descriptive statistics, and packaging metadata improvements that use a python_min variable and remove the minimum Python version constraint to broaden compatibility. Also fixed conda-forge package naming for Great_Tables to great_tables to ensure reliable resolution. These changes improve publish reliability, broaden Python support, and reduce build-time errors, demonstrating strong packaging discipline and cross-repo collaboration.

November 2024: Delivered a major modernization of the CI/CD and testing workflow for the gettsim project under iza-institute-of-labor-economics. Established a more reliable, scalable development environment by migrating package management from Conda to Pixi, adopting updated pre-commit hooks, and refining CI configurations and documentation for streamlined contributor onboarding. Refactored the testing workflow to use 'pixi run tests' and updated Python version constraints. Removed outdated packaging artifacts and standardized dependency installation across Windows/macOS/Linux, reducing build flakes and improving cross‑platform developer experience.
