1. CnPack IDE Wizards published versions 1.6.0, 1.6.1, and 1.7.0, completing the historic 64-bit migration. It now supports the first RAD Studio 64-bit IDE and the latest RAD Studio 13. The code highlighting mechanism in CnPack IDE Wizards in RAD Studio 13 has been completely overhauled, now fully utilizing the new editor rendering interfaces provided by RAD Studio 13.

2. CnPack IDE Wizards took the first historic step towards porting to the Windows version of Lazarus. The basic framework and a few features are now compiled and integrated into Lazarus 4.0 and above for internal testing and experience.

3. The CnCalendar Unit in CnVcl has been refactored to use a more precise calculation of solar term timings, and the Gregorian-Lunar calendar conversion has been re-optimized based on this improvement. The conversion results from 1 AD to the year 2800 have now been verified and are largely accurate.

4. CnPack sources continue to be maintained on GitHub and regularly synchronized to the domestic mirror on Gitee.

5. Added support for the post-quantum algorithms MLKEM and MLDSA to the encryption library in CnVcl. We also continue to maintain the new independent repository CnPack Crypto Library "cncrypto" on Gitee with HTML Help for users who only need encryption/decryption functionality. This Library also preliminarily supports being compiled into an independent module for dynamic linking and invocation by other programming languages.
