June 2025 highlights The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD: CI pipeline modernization with Bazel integration and Jenkins-based workflow, cross-distro CI expansion to RHEL8, and CI messaging cleanup. The team introduced Bazel in CI via DependencyInstaller, migrated the CI workflow from GitHub Actions to Jenkins, and optimized test execution by conditionally running smoke tests when building images, resulting in shorter feedback cycles and more reliable nightly builds. We extended installer and CI to support RHEL8, added a dedicated Jenkins stage for RHEL8 build/test, and aligned Python/Flex tooling for RHEL8 compatibility, broadening platform coverage for customers. In parallel, test suite management changes reduced CI noise by reverting test/orfs enablement, annotating bazelignore to skip test/orfs when CI can handle it, and fixing a GitHub Actions workflow typo to improve messaging clarity.
