September 2025 monthly summary: Delivered a targeted compatibility update for the Tiled Map loader in libgdx/libgdx. Updated tests to use BaseTiledMapLoader.Parameters rather than deprecated AtlasTiledMapLoaderParameters to align with the refreshed TiledMap loading mechanism, while preserving the existing texture filtering logic. The change minimizes regression risk for downstream users upgrading to newer mapping resources and ensures continued build/test stability across platforms. Commits focused on validating the new parameters in the GWT Atlas asset manager test (commit fec0d5210e173414faf7b227611ef6deef272f81).
