CHANGELOG

Material changes, in public

Device-specific evidence edits appear in each record's revision history. This page covers changes to the product, methodology and research system.

Trust, discovery and navigation release

  • Added a guided device checker, searchable Compare and Alerts pickers, an evidence-gated missing-model request queue, product-family hubs and a reviewed repairability explorer.
  • Added iCalendar support-ending and Atom record-update feeds plus data-native device sharing cards.
  • Corrected undocumented-date calendar totals and device timelines, bounded the calendar horizon, and clarified longer-supported records without presenting unsupported buying recommendations.
  • Added database-backed shared API/form quotas, crawler-resistant aggregate analytics, bounded legacy API deprecation and richer operational health diagnostics.
  • Added a visible editor portrait and consolidated identity, biography, email and professional profiles in the About editor section.
  • Added homepage Organization, WebSite/SearchAction and editor structured data; removed the unavailable GitHub URL from public trust links.
  • Added a support-ending homepage module, press facts, stable citation and badge guidance, and clearer model-scoped Apple policy wording.
  • Reduced directory navigation payloads from multi-megabyte evidence graphs to compact projections, disabled wasteful list prefetching and added bounded server-side catalog/device caches.
  • Preserved full record-update timestamps in sitemaps; added Galaxy A54/A55 marketed-name redirects, hub breadcrumb schema, branded device titles and evidence-safe cadence labels.
  • Published the full code and operations release gate in the dated launch checklist; external Search Console, field CWV, mailbox and restore checks remain explicitly separate.

Single-owner audited editorial workflow

  • Replaced the multi-person four-eyes staffing gate with a single administrator workflow for this owner-operated site.
  • The owner can research, review, approve and publish from one account; optional narrower staff roles remain supported for future use.
  • Kept exact-identity checks, enabled-source checks, required rationales, timestamps, immutable evidence captures and revision history as publication safeguards.

Search, saved routes and multi-region safety feeds

  • Upgraded homepage device suggestions to a keyboard-operable ARIA combobox with exact model ranking.
  • Hardened local saved-device storage against blocked browser storage and archived record slugs.
  • Enabled governed daily EU Safety Gate public-API and UK OPSS Atom/Content API workers with exact-device candidate matching and changed-record quarantine.

Identity and regulator operations hardening

  • Added administrator-only canonical merge that archives duplicate records, preserves their evidence history and creates audited permanent redirects while blocking cross-brand/category merges.
  • Added evidence-empty identity split drafts that cannot publish until model-scoped evidence passes the normal audited review workflow.
  • Added a protected multi-jurisdiction recall importer with parser/jurisdiction locks, immutable hashes, changed-record quarantine and human-reviewed candidate matching.
  • Registered Health Canada, ACCC and OECD recall sources behind governed source-specific review gates; Health Canada was subsequently enabled after its official feed fixture passed.
  • Added authenticated daily, weekly and monthly job dispatch with explicit partial-configuration and failure responses.

300-phone evidence-qualified catalog

  • Expanded the reviewed catalog to 312 records: 300 phones and 12 tablets across thirteen brand labels.
  • Added official model-level HMD and Nokia support dates with firmware, security patch and cadence context from HMD's maintenance table.
  • Added Fairphone roadmap and end-of-support records, additional Motorola model schedules, and carefully scoped HONOR and Nothing policy-derived records.
  • Published policy and regional-caveat explainers for every added brand and expanded the public source registry.
  • Validated the expansion with unique canonical slugs, 18 passing tests, lint, Prisma validation and a 384-page production build.

Evidence, safety, repairability and public-data release

  • Centralized the twelve-month ending-soon calculation and expanded exact-name search regression coverage.
  • Separated OS, security, sale and cloud lifecycle facts with explicit precision, calculation, jurisdiction and freshness.
  • Added canonical families, regional/carrier identifiers, aliases, GTINs and audited permanent redirects.
  • Added governed CPSC ingestion, immutable notice revisions, rationale-backed recall review, incident banners, source disable and claim retraction.
  • Added source-backed repairability/battery records with scheme, version and jurisdiction safeguards plus audited publication review.
  • Published dedicated evidence APIs, an attributed CSV dataset, embeddable status badges, five deep buying guides and material-date sitemaps.
  • Installed consent-based, verified lifecycle alerts with encrypted addresses, pause/delete controls, idempotent material-change delivery and bounded retries; public signup remains gated on sender verification.
  • Expanded CI with rendered SEO/security/API contracts, a search golden set and CodeQL security analysis.

Phones-first public catalog

  • Published the evidence-led directory, brand hubs, support calendar, comparison tool and correction form.
  • Added explicit coverage counts and documented the current catalog limits.
