+- Added `-c default` channel to improve package resolution
+- Implemented platform-specific update jobs for Linux, macOS, Windows, and ARM64
+
+### OSX Package Management
+- Updated package management strategy for `xz` and `libarchive`
+- Added version constraints to ensure compatibility
+
+### Documentation Updates
+- Clarified `mambabuild` limitations
+- Updated README and installation documentation
+- Added notes about conda build process and channel usage
+
+### Improvements
+- Improved error handling in CI jobs
+- Added more detailed logging and debugging steps
