Dates: (August 3rd – August 9th)

Proposed:

• Preparing for Final Delivery
• Integrating to develop branch in the main repository

1. Check the existing process/driver options for pgr_maxWeightedMatching and determine whether one supports the IID_t_rt return type.
2. Since no existing process/driver fits IID_t_rt, create the required process and driver files for the new return type.
3. Add pgr_maxWeightedMatching to the new process/driver using the MAXWEIGHTEDMATCHING case.
4. Update the enumeration, get_name(), and function entry point to use the new process architecture.
5. Resolve merge conflicts and synchronize the changes with the latest branch.
6. Open a Boost version proof-of-concept PR to begin testing Boost compatibility in CI.

• Checked the existing process/driver options and confirmed that none supported the IID_t_rt return type required by pgr_maxWeightedMatching.
• Created the required process and driver files for the new IID_t_rt return type.
• Integrated pgr_maxWeightedMatching using the MAXWEIGHTEDMATCHING case.
• Updated the enumeration, get_name(), and function entry point to use the new process architecture.
• Resolved merge conflicts and synchronized the changes with the latest branch.
