- [ Home ](/) / - Changelog # Changelog A dated release log for public data, validation behavior and editorial-method changes. It is not a substitute for the corrections ledger. Last updated: October 5, 2026 ## How to read this log This page records releases that change public data, validator behavior, trust pages or methodology. It does not list every copy edit, style adjustment or page rebuild. Material factual corrections remain in the [corrections ledger](/corrections/). Use it when you need to understand why a dataset changed, why a validator receipt looks different, or whether a methodology update affects comparisons between releases. The entries are intentionally operational, not promotional. ## 2026-08-31: generator input and release reliability - The sitemap generator now rejects explicit non-HTTP schemes before discovery while preserving bare public domains and standard HTTP(S) URLs. - The release workflow now uses Node 24 artifact actions, Cloudflare's Wrangler action v4 and a pinned Wrangler 4 release. - The FAQ disclosure indicator now meets the AA contrast threshold in the light theme. ## 2026-08-24: scheduled dataset refresh - Refreshed the fixed-panel release: 125 of 217 testable hosts served a qualifying file. - Refreshed directory insights and v2 discovery observations under the unchanged published methodology. Current values remain tied to the `2026-08-24` release identifier. ## 2026-08-12: evidence and verification release - Published the Trust Center: methodology, editorial policy, corrections ledger, citation guidance and press information. - Published the Observatory release manifest, CSV and status endpoint derived from the fixed-panel source files. - Added a live public verification endpoint and embeddable badge. A verification reports the response checked, validator version and timestamp; it does not certify AI use. - Added `publishingPrinciples` and editorial correction contact data to the site-wide Organization schema. ## 2026-08-12: source and scope refresh - Updated Google and AI-crawler guidance to distinguish documented product behavior from unverified automatic discovery. - Recorded the v2 discovery snapshot: 294 linked pages checked from 113 analyzed files. ## 2026-08-03: fixed-panel snapshot - Published the fixed-panel measurement: 113 of 218 testable hosts served a qualifying file. - Updated the directory and structural file insights.
