Changelog

What shipped, and when

Built from the real commit history, not a marketing page. Versioning is MAJOR.MINOR- a MAJOR bump marks a genuine architectural or visual overhaul, a MINOR bump is one shipped feature. Plain bugfixes don’t move the number.

current - v1.26
v1.26Cleanup: the demo panels are gone2026-08-01
  • removed the fixture-only pages (derivatives, intel, scenarios) and their panels
  • removed correlations, rolling correlation, anomalies, cross-commodity and risk limits
  • removed trade flows and China demand - PortWatch and AIS already answer this from real data
  • supply is now OPEC + production only, and moved out of the primary nav
  • fixed SAMPLE data changing on every server restart, so the demo is stable again
  • fixed the sitemap advertising pages that no longer exist
  • analytics, execution and supply now use the shared tab bar, so their tabs compact properly
  • 48 board widgets instead of 60 - everything left is backed by a real source
v1.25Interactive news markers on charts2026-07-31
  • news markers on price charts are now clickable, opening the headlines at that point

  • replaced the sentiment tag with a three-voter ensemble (keywords, event frames, AI)
