+- Mar 30, 2025: Are you wondering how link:docs/qa-guide.chunked/index.html[NUT Quality Assurance and Build Automation] happens? Perhaps you want to do similar feats in your project? Well, now I can say "I wrote a book on that!" :)
 - Mar 28, 2025: link:http://wmnut.networkupstools.org[WMNut] 0.71 released, addressing compatibility with C23, adding new `ups.status` token support, and revising some documentation and recipes
 - Feb 28, 2025: with link:https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/pull/2825[NUT PR #2825] merged, a technologically and practically interesting revamp of NUT mesh of link:https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/[automake] (`Makefile.am`) recipes was completed, allowing for a more parallelizable build routine on multi-CPU machines, utilizing more cores and completing in less "wall-clock" time that the standard `SUBDIRS` driven approach. It is not a radical rewrite like some other projects suggest, and so retains the general structure and certain benefits and flexibility of that standard approach, including developer build workflows with a bespoke `Makefile` in every significant directory. Overall, NUT CI farm build times got 25%+ shorter (which is important as some scenarios had hit the 1-hour timeout imposed by providers of free CI hosting), and we suppose this is an interesting case for other projects to draw inspiration from for their recipe refactoring.
 - Nov 6, 2024: due to update of NUT CI farm's Jenkins core, numerous build agent configurations and OSes had to be updated to use JDK17+. NUT documentation for build prerequisites and CI setup was accordingly updated.
