#69 — Fix ligature rendering for Java operators (by @hallvard)
Operators like -> and != were being rendered as Unicode ligatures (→, ≠) — beautiful typography, but invalid Java! A CSS fix disabling font ligatures in .code-text blocks now keeps code looking like real Java. Bug closed! 🐛✅
🔄 Open Pull Requests
#71 — Support YAML as format for patterns (by @hallvard)
Updated again today — this PR adds YAML support to both the Java and Python generators, making multiline code in pattern files much more readable. Related to issue #70. This is an architectural decision worth a thoughtful review — YAML would significantly improve the authoring experience for contributors.
#75 — Add i18n specification
The internationalization spec (specs/i18n/i18n-spec.md) has been refined based on review feedback — Plan A removed, Plan B rewritten as a single unified recommendation. This sets the architectural direction for multilingual support. Ready for a final read-through! 🌍

💡 Highlights & Observations
- 🐛 Bug-free code blocks! The ligature fix is a small but meaningful polish — operators now display exactly as they appear in real Java source.
- 👥
@hallvardremains an active and high-quality community contributor — 2 open PRs and 1 merged this week. Great engagement! - 📐 Both open PRs are mature — they've gone through review iterations and are close to merge-ready.
- 🔒 Security (5 patterns) and Date/Time (6 patterns) are still the leanest categories — great opportunities for new contributions.
🎯 Recommended Next Steps
- Decide on #71 — YAML vs JSON is an important authoring decision; merge or close to move forward ⚡
- Review and merge #75 — the i18n spec is refined and ready 🌍
- Grow Security & Date/Time — with only 5 and 6 patterns respectively, these categories have the most room to expand 📈
- Celebrate 113 patterns! The library is comprehensive and keeps growing 🎉
