Changelog
What's new
Latest updates, improvements, and fixes.
v0.19.5
latestSeptember 16, 2026NewShare cards — links unfurl with a title, summary and map image, and phones get the native share sheet
NewA plate for vessels with no photograph, and identity scores that reflect corroboration
ImprovedThe sensor view banks through turns, names what it is pointed at, and locks on contacts
NewA wider field of view, and a phone layout with an instrument cluster
ImprovedWhite hot and black hot thermal looks
FixedShared links no longer open under a sign-up prompt and the tour
FixedBack in Settings on phones, the globe's position after a panel closes, and aircraft positions after a data slowdown
v0.19.4
September 15, 2026NewThe supply chain behind AI compute — packaging, lithography and contracted power now sit on the map beside the data centres
NewNational AI programmes and the GPU-rental tier, where they have a physical home
Improved118 facilities across 20 countries, up from 77 across 10
ImprovedPower, cables and minerals appear only where a facility states what it serves
v0.19.3
September 11, 2026
NewLook out from an aircraft — open a surveillance, patrol or reconnaissance aircraft and the sensor view puts you at it
NewReach and look-down drawn from what is known of the airframe, never more
ImprovedDrag to aim; aircraft in the field carry brackets with callsign, level and range
ImprovedNatural, night vision, thermal and iron looks
FixedAn aircraft no longer appears in its own view
v0.19.2
September 10, 2026NewOpen an aircraft and the map follows it — it holds under the crosshair while the world moves beneath, until you drag away
ImprovedAircraft move at their own speed between position updates instead of jumping to catch up, and keep flying for as long as you watch them
ImprovedAircraft are drawn against the ground rather than at a fixed size, so one no longer spans a city when you zoom out
ImprovedAltitude reads properly close in — an aircraft on approach now looks like one
ImprovedThe route line shows only the leg still ahead, drawn at the aircraft's altitude; the path already flown is the trail itself
ImprovedAircraft whose position was worked out on the ground, rather than reported by the aircraft, are marked as such in the aircraft list
FixedZone alerts no longer report a departure when tracking simply lapses — a gap in coverage is not a movement
FixedReports read as reports: adverts, newsletter blocks, app prompts and syndication footers no longer land in the article text
FixedArticle summaries no longer drop their opening words
FixedFlight trails follow the path actually flown, without doubling back on themselves or cutting across a turn
FixedThe news filter panel opens fully on screen instead of running off the edge, and its Signal-only switch sits in its track
FixedAn opened article matches every other panel, and its controls match the map's
v0.19.1
September 10, 2026
NewAircraft you open are drawn as 3D models — wide-body, turboprop, business jet, helicopter — turned to their real heading and standing at their altitude
ImprovedAircraft and vessel details say more in less room: one status line, the photo above the fold, and the track-quality read still legible with the section closed
ImprovedActivity & Patterns reads at a glance — phase, duration, distance, peak altitude and the altitude profile — and opens the full track replay in one tap
ImprovedAircraft position quality reflects how the fix was actually made, rather than a single estimated score
NewInternet outages cover every country, not a watchlist of twenty, and now include power outages and cable cuts as causes
NewMobile-network outages are measured per operator worldwide — an operator's network going dark or degrading in a region — instead of relabelled country-level internet alerts
ImprovedOutage and mobile-network markers say what happened, where, and how long ago, with the detail on hover
FixedA trail now ends exactly where its aircraft is drawn
FixedMarkers on the far side of the globe no longer show through it
FixedMap labels keep clear of the open aircraft's card
v0.19.0
September 5, 2026NewZone alerts from every zone tool — circle, drawn, boundary, and chokepoint zones all ask what to alert on (news, vessels, aircraft) when you save them
NewTap a cluster on the map to see the reports inside it as a list, with a one-tap zoom to that spot
NewConfidence reads the same everywhere — “70% · Moderate” on every card, with what the band means one tap away
ImprovedSheets on phones rebuilt: news, details, boards, briefing, and search share the same three heights and gestures — tap the header to step up, drag to resize, fling to dismiss — and the map stays live above them
ImprovedAircraft, vessel, and report details: the category sits in the header, actions fit one row, and the conditions card leads with an imaging verdict (clear, marginal, overcast, or night)
ImprovedOne name per thing: Workspaces for saved views, Boards for what you're following, Watch for alerts
ImprovedNotifications: an unread count, mark-all-read only when you ask, and each alert names the zone and trigger that fired it
ImprovedAlerts settings split into Mobile push and Desktop, with the layers to alert on and a clearer digest cadence
ImprovedThe welcome tour starts right away and reads correctly on phones; sign-in links say why you're signing in
ImprovedThe layer, source, and display pills say what's on (“Layers · News + Flights”, “Sources · Open source off”)
ImprovedNews: “N new · N urgent” in the panel header, urgent reserved for corroborated kinetic events, and unclassified reports filed under Reports instead of Combat
FixedDesktop settings no longer show a phone-only “blocked by system” warning
FixedOpening the notification drawer no longer marks everything read
FixedMap times before today show the date instead of 00:00, and approximate locations are marked “approx.”
v0.18.4
August 29, 2026NewCurrent conditions at any target — cloud cover, wind, and visibility on every aircraft, vessel, and report
NewMGRS coordinates alongside latitude and longitude
NewConflict zones drawn with real boundaries, and zone entries reported as separate events for news, vessels, and aircraft
NewA data-credits page listing the sources behind each layer
ImprovedStorylines group related reports more sensibly, and each incident timeline shows what changed and when
ImprovedThe map no longer fights you — the camera stops moving once you take over, and a followed target stays in view
ImprovedWhen a live feed is down the map says so instead of showing zero
ImprovedThe news feed appears sooner on first open
FixedAircraft coverage recovers automatically after a data-source outage
FixedFacility fire alerts no longer go quiet after midnight UTC

June 14, 2026NewCrossed paths — open a tracked aircraft or vessel's history to see the reported incidents and strategic sites it passed near, and whether it was there before or after
ImprovedOn phones, the Live TV, Radio, and Commodities overlays now open as a draggable bottom sheet instead of a floating window

v0.18.1
June 5, 2026NewSmart boards — build a tracking board from a live query (say, military transports over a region) and it fills itself and stays current as aircraft move in and out
NewAnything a smart board picks up automatically inherits going-dark, loiter, and unusual-activity alerts
NewOpen an aircraft or vessel's full track history directly from a tracking board
ImprovedClearer aircraft type labels on boards — fighter, transport, tanker, drone, ISR and more at a glance, with full type names
ImprovedCreating a board is now a focused dialog with a clear choice between a manual list and a smart query
v0.18.0
June 2, 2026NewFlight & voyage history — open any aircraft or vessel to replay its track on a map with an altitude/speed timeline, departure and arrival airports, coverage-gap markers, and per-flight stats
NewActivity timeline on every aircraft and vessel — went dark, reacquired, loiter, departures and arrivals at a glance, not just for pinned targets
NewSanctioned-vessel flagging — ships on international sanctions lists are marked on the map and in the detail panel, with a sanctioned-only filter in the maritime layer
NewDark-fleet alerts — get notified when a sanctioned vessel goes dark by switching off its AIS
ImprovedGoing-dark and reacquired alerts now cover tracked vessels, not just aircraft
