Sep 1, 2025September 2025 focused on reinforcing config correctness and deployment reliability in edge-core/sonic-buildimage. The key change added the MGMT_PORT section to the default Sonic configuration, ensuring the management port is correctly configured and preventing errors during port breakout operations. This improvement standardizes defaults, reduces manual configuration effort, and lowers deployment risk across environments.

May 1, 2025May 2025 monthly summary for edge-core/sonic-buildimage focusing on build reliability and issue resolution. Fixed a critical build issue by correcting symbolic links for reboot plugins, ensuring soft-reboot_plugin and fast-reboot_plugin correctly reference warm-reboot_plugin. This resolved the compilation error and stabilized the image build process, reducing downstream debugging time and release risk.
