# October 2025 Highlights

> Configurable XP per action, Redis caching, and action-level reward distribution

## October 2025

October's headliners were configurability and performance: admins could set XP per individual action, the API gained its Redis caching layer, and rewards could be attached and distributed at the action level. The MCP developer surface also expanded with Jira, Vercel, and skills integrations.
