- Audio from the February 22, 2022 Pony development sync is available: [https://sync-recordings.ponylang.io/r/2022_02_22.m4a](https://sync-recordings.ponylang.io/r/2022_02_22.m4a). | ||
Highlights include a good discussion around revisiting the ["explicit self member access" RFC](https://github.com/ponylang/rfcs/pull/173) | ||

||
## Issue of the Week | ||
|
||
- This week's issue is [Add avoid boxing via Parameterization pattern](https://github.com/ponylang/pony-patterns/issues/15) on the pony-patterns repo. This calls for the description of a performance pattern where function parameterization is used to avoid boxing/unboxing primitives. This is going to bite people coming from dynamic languages if they use Any for actor methods. This can also impact on people using union types a lot. | ||

Message from @**Sean T Allen**: | ||
|
||
We've changed how "releases" are done for the [library-documentation-action](https://github.com/ponylang/library-documentation-action/). Previously, we did numbered releases like you would see from ponyc, corral, and other ponylang organization projects. Doing numbered releases came with a serious drawback. | ||
|
||
We had to do a new version of the action each time a new ponyc with breaking changes was released and then every user of the action had to update to the latest version before they released updated documentation for their library to match the new ponyc version. This sucked. It was a lot of extra work. It was especially painful knowing that we were working towards removing the need for the library-documentation-action entirely. | ||
|
||
The library-documentation-action has always been a temporary solution with Sean T. Allen works towards bringing better documentation generation fully "into the compiler". Given that, we feel that the action is "feature complete" and that we won't be making any more changes to it. All releases going forward are expected to be updates to get a new ponyc version. Given that, we have changed how releases are done. | ||
|
||
The library-documentation-action now a docker image with two tags in DockerHub for your use. The `release` tag is updated each time a new ponyc version comes out and has the most recent ponyc release. The `latest` tag is updated each time there's a new ponyc nightly release and has the most recent nightly ponyc. | ||
|
||
See the [library-documentation-action example workflows](https://github.com/ponylang/library-documentation-action#example-workflow) for the small change you'll need to make in your action usage to stay up-to-date. | ||
