RELEASE HISTORY

Platform changelog

Material platform changes, reliability incidents and corrections — including claims we have retracted. Published so that what changed, and when, is traceable.

Release history

Platform changelog

Material changes to the platform, including reliability incidents and data-quality fixes. Published so that behaviour changes are traceable rather than silent.

DateChange
2026-07Performance. Media on public pages reduced by ~94% (3.6 MB → 225 KB) by moving imagery to WebP and re-encoding video; explicit image dimensions added to eliminate layout shift.
2026-07Transparency. Published live status, security policy, data provenance and limitations pages.
2026-07Reliability. Resolved a long-running memory-growth issue in the analysis service: per-zone baselines are now bounded by an LRU cache with on-disk persistence. Resident memory fell from ~2.35 GB to ~1.4 GB and the periodic restart cycle stopped.
2026-07Visualisation. Added a 3D airspace instrument view (radar dome, altitude histogram, situational globe) rendered client-side.
2026-07Interoperability. Public MCP endpoint documented so AI assistants can query live airspace and platform documentation directly. See AI access.
2026-06Open data. Released the ADS-B Anomaly Benchmark (CC-BY 4.0, 38 documented columns) with a reproducible baseline. See research.
2026-06Detection. Anomaly stack rebuilt on established libraries (River, scikit-learn, pykalman, OpenAP, stumpy, PyOD) with a consensus rule requiring at least two independent detectors to agree. An earlier reinforcement-learning prototype was evaluated and retired; claims referencing it were removed from the site.
2026-06Reliability. Analysis-service restarts made invisible to users via a last-known-good cache; database write-ahead log growth bounded.
2026-05Security. Session-token handling hardened and default-credential paths removed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How often is AeroScope updated?
Actively. The changelog records material platform changes, reliability incidents and data-quality fixes, with several substantive releases during 2026 covering detection, performance, transparency and open data.
Does AeroScope correct or retract claims?
Yes. When a previous claim proves wrong or unsupported it is removed and the removal is recorded — for example the reinforcement-learning prototype that was evaluated, retired, and stripped from the site's descriptions.
