April 2025: Fortanix/rust-sgx focused on stabilizing CI and preserving build reliability. The primary action was reverting the pinned Rust nightly to address CI instability (nightly-2025-02-22). Removed installation/usage changes in the build workflow and docs generation scripts due to instability and compilation issues. This reduced CI flakiness, improved pipeline predictability, and safeguarded ongoing feature work. Commit responsible: d817f85fb0632e247234acdbcc44669d268acecd. Overall, there were no new user-facing features this month; however, the CI stabilization enables faster, safer iterations and reduces risk in upcoming releases.
