Jul 1, 2025Month 2025-07: Delivered key improvements to KeYProject/key including Gradle build system modernization and documentation fixes. Implemented a modern Gradle setup using layout API, replaced deprecated task definitions with tasks.register, and removed deprecated buildDir usage. Also corrected documentation by adding a missing JavaDoc comment and fixing a broken link in a method comment. These changes improve compatibility with current and future Gradle versions, enhance maintainability, and reduce build-time friction for developers.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for KeYProject/key: Focused on stabilizing the main integration, improving correctness of language features, and boosting maintainability and test reliability. Key deliverables and outcomes include: - Code quality and maintainability: Spotless code style fixes and formatting cleanups across the repository to improve readability and reduce future diffs. - Structural clarity and domain semantics: Introduced NoFindTaclets implies inSequentState restriction to clarify expectations; aligned symbolic execution marker scope with JavaDL information flow to ensure precise analysis; improved dispatch correctness for overloaded method calls. - Main-branch safety and integration reliability: Checker Framework errors now apply only to main, reducing noise on feature branches; merge conflicts with main resolved to keep main stable; unintended changes in recoder reverted to restore baseline behavior. - Testing and reliability: Unit tests updated to reflect corrected expectations and environments, enhancing CI stability and confidence in changes.
