August 2025 monthly summary for the SuperTux repository focused on reliability, compatibility, and performance improvements across core gameplay, tooling, and localization. Delivered an editor-controlled initialization workflow that runs sector initialization scripts only once after sector load, with the setting persisted to the level file, reducing unnecessary work during sector transitions and startup. Implemented targeted fixes to ensure backward compatibility and stability: - Egg bonus parsing now recognizes the egg bonus as a valid growup type, enabling load/save compatibility for saves containing the egg bonus. - Added a null safety check in SpriteChange::clear_stay_action to guard WorldMapSector::current and prevent crashes when the current sector is unavailable. - Refined LIBCURL_VERSION_MINOR handling in the downloader to ensure the correct progress callback is used across libcurl versions, preventing callback mismatches. - Introduced a German localization clarification for Dropper to ensure it is understood as a dispenser (not a medical instrument), reducing mistranslations. Collectively, these changes improved stability, cross-version compatibility, and localization accuracy, with a measurable impact on user experience and long-term maintainability.
