Kill Bill keeps tagging 0.25 releases with no notes while 0.24 adds features.

billinginvoicingopen-sourcejavalocalizationrelease-hygiene
◆Current state
The 0.25 line added 0.25.5 in September and 0.25.6 on 28 October, each carrying only the maven-release-plugin tag message. The 0.24 line, which publishes real notes, shipped 0.24.22 with support for partial locales in invoice and catalog translations, after the August branding change and its partial revert.
◆Where it's heading
Two lines behave differently: 0.25 is published as bare tags, 0.24 carries the documented user-facing work. Invoice presentation, branding then localisation, is the thread on 0.24.
◆Prediction
More bare 0.25 tags and occasional documented 0.24 releases are the pattern; what 0.25 contains can't be read from the feed.

    0.24.21 reverts the branding template key

    Reverts the new template key for branding information introduced five days earlier, leaving the surrounding invoice-generator refactor in place. A correction to in-flight work rather than a change users asked for.

    Shared tenant branding for HTML invoices

    Refactors the HTML invoice generator to support shared tenant branding — logo, company information and brand colors — the only user-facing change in this window. Its partial revert in the next release marks it as still in progress.

    killbill-0.25.4

    A maven-release-plugin tag copy with no release notes. The 0.25 line publishes these without accompanying changelogs, so the contents are not visible from the feed.
