Changelog

All notable changes to worldwatcher.app are documented here. The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Version 0.6.71 · 2026-09-27

Added

• Floods tab uses the same country filter as Dam Incidents (previous / next, All countries, Reset). Options come from flood records. The choice filters the list, map markers, flood paths, and sidebar stats, and stays in the URL (?layer=floods&country=). Each layer remembers its own country when switching tabs. No matching floods shows “No floods match.”
• Dashboard country filter is available on the Floods layer as well, using that layer’s countries
• Death counts use the failure red in the list, detail casualties, sidebar totals, and dashboard (number and label)

Version 0.6.70 · 2026-09-14

Fixed

• Country deep-link and country select now fit the map to that country’s pins after incident data loads (early landingView no longer no-ops forever; 3D ready/toggle no longer snap back to world)

Version 0.6.69 · 2026-09-14

Added

• Country filter deep link: /?country=Ukraine (and hash fallback country=) filters the dam-incidents map to that country, fits the map, and stays in the address bar; Reset / Home / floods layer drop country from the URL; id and layer are preserved

Version 0.6.68 · 2026-09-13

Changed

• Year sliders use an incident-density scale: empty centuries take a thin sliver of the rail, travel concentrates where the archive actually is (from the 19th century on)
• Dashboard incidents-over-time chart draws the projected trend as a dashed curve through the fan, not only the 50/80/95 ranges (still clipped to the plot box)

Version 0.6.67 · 2026-09-13

Fixed

• Year sliders (map panel and dashboard) stay live while dragging: thumbs and year boxes update immediately, pin/list rebuilds skip unchanged years and are rAF-throttled

Version 0.6.66 · 2026-09-11

Fixed

• 3D globe world landing: raise initial zoom target to 3.45 (min 3.2) and recalibrate radius fit (base 0.30) so the home globe fills the open pane without shrinking below min

Version 0.6.65 · 2026-09-11

Fixed

• 3D globe world landing: reset Europe-facing view (no huge offset Y that slid Europe to the horizon); modest 10% lift + asymmetric padding (top 12 / bottom 92); zoom target 3.2 (min 3.0) with recalibrated radius fit so the globe fills the open pane without crushing to ~2.88

Version 0.6.64 · 2026-09-11

Fixed

• 3D globe world landing: raise lift to 42% canvas height and loosen offset Y clamp to 55% so upward moves are not capped near −29%h (fixes no-op lifts in 0.6.61–0.6.63)

Version 0.6.63 · 2026-09-11

Fixed

• 3D globe world landing: raise the globe disk substantially higher in the open map pane (~27% canvas-height upward lift, +13% beyond 0.6.62) with a soft top clamp so atmosphere is not sheared off the window edge

Version 0.6.62 · 2026-09-11

Fixed

• 3D globe world landing: raise the globe disk further in the open map pane (~14% canvas-height upward lift on offset Y, up from 6%) while keeping Europe-facing orientation, size, horizontal centering, and sidebar clearance

Version 0.6.61 · 2026-09-11

Fixed

• 3D globe world landing: nudge the globe disk upward in the open map pane (extra ~6% canvas-height lift on offset Y) while keeping Europe-facing orientation, size, sidebar clearance, and horizontal centering

Version 0.6.60 · 2026-09-11

Fixed

• 3D globe world landing: center the visible disk in the open map pane using sidebar/right padding plus pitch-aware disk offset (not just geographic focal point); keeps northern Europe facing, large zoom fit, and no sidebar clipping

Version 0.6.59 · 2026-09-11

Fixed

• 3D globe world landing: northern Europe focal point ([12, 53], pitch 16°, bearing 0) with sidebar-aware offset placing the disk center on the open pane midpoint and zoom fit (target 2.92, min 2.88) so the full globe clears the left sidebar without shrinking to a tiny ball

Version 0.6.58 · 2026-09-11

Fixed

• 3D globe world landing: one coherent easeTo (Europe center, zoom 2.92, pitch 24°, bearing 0) with sidebar-aware offset into the open map pane — removes stacked panBy that broke centering in 0.6.57 while keeping a large, fully visible globe

Version 0.6.57 · 2026-09-11

Fixed

• 3D globe world landing: pan the large Europe home view right into the open map pane so the globe disk is not clipped under the left sidebar overlay (sidebar-aware horizontal offset + limb clearance; zoom/size unchanged)

Version 0.6.56 · 2026-09-11

Fixed

• 3D globe world landing: keep Europe focal point (~10°E, 50°N) but raise zoom (2.9) and pitch (26°) plus a small vertical offset so the globe fills the map pane again instead of appearing too small

Version 0.6.55 · 2026-09-11

Fixed

• 3D globe world landing: initial camera focal point on western/central Europe (~10°E, 50°N), bearing 0 and moderate pitch, with sidebar-aware padding so the globe stays large and centered in the map pane

Version 0.6.54 · 2026-09-11

Fixed

• 3D globe world landing: derive camera from the same world bounds as 2D fitWorldStart (Atlantic mid-latitudes, bearing 0) instead of a fixed center aimed at southern Africa; moderate pitch and slight zoom boost for atlas-style framing

Version 0.6.53 · 2026-09-11

Fixed

• 3D globe world landing: sidebar-aware padding, higher zoom, gentler pitch, and post-resize vertical offset so the globe is centered and large enough on first enable (world view without a selected incident)

Version 0.6.52 · 2026-09-10

Fixed

• Deep-link map zoom: declare pendingFocusId (0.6.50 crash), seed it before map init, skip world landing while pending, one delayed re-focus after detail opens

Version 0.6.51 · 2026-09-10

Fixed

• Revert 0.6.50 deep-link map focus change that broke the app (map/panel missing); restore last good client

Version 0.6.49 · 2026-09-10

Changed

• Copy post no longer shows a “Post copied” confirmation toast

Version 0.6.48 · 2026-09-10

Changed

• Copy post now copies the Event card (name, place, date, what happened, status, known casualties) plus the deep link and tagline — X/LinkedIn still use the short social caption

Version 0.6.47 · 2026-09-10

Changed

• Detail share footer: center the icon row (and feedback) under the card

Version 0.6.46 · 2026-09-10

Changed

• Detail card share: moved from toolbar dropdown into a footer row of monochrome icon buttons (Copy link, Copy post, X, LinkedIn; device Share when available)

Version 0.6.45 · 2026-09-10

Changed

• Left panel: lit hover fill on layer tabs, filter/period chips, and country prev/next/Reset (same select-bg treatment as detail tabs)

Version 0.6.44 · 2026-09-10

Changed

• DAM tab: relabel Construction → Construction type (build method, not year built)

Version 0.6.43 · 2026-09-10

Changed

• DAM tab: also show River / facility and Installed capacity (MW) alongside owner, year, height, reservoir capacity, construction, purpose, and type

Version 0.6.42 · 2026-09-10

Removed

• Removed “Suggest a better pin” from the detail geo note — Report a correction already covers pin/location fixes

Version 0.6.41 · 2026-09-10

Changed

• Share post text (Copy post / X / LinkedIn): deep link sits directly after the fact line (same line, space-separated); locked tagline follows on the next paragraph — brand still visible when LinkedIn shortens the URL

Version 0.6.40 · 2026-09-10

Changed

• Detail panel tabs: less rounding (6px, not pill), lit hover fill on inactive tabs, slightly tighter type/padding, and always wrap so labels never overflow the panel

Version 0.6.39 · 2026-09-10

Changed

• Share post text (Copy post / X / LinkedIn): drop the " — " before the deep link (X left a dangling dash after unfurling the URL into a card); insert the locked tagline worldwatcher.app · Global monitor for incidents and disasters on its own line between the fact line and the URL so the brand stays visible when LinkedIn shortens the link to lnkd.in

Version 0.6.38 · 2026-09-10

Changed

• Detail panel section tabs (Event / Dam / Cause / Impact / Sources / Data): active tab uses a filled pill with stronger weight and contrast; inactive tabs stay readable with more spacing between labels — clearer in both light and dark themes

Version 0.6.37 · 2026-09-10

Fixed

• LinkedIn share: opens the feed composer with post text prefilled (shareActive=true&text=…, same pattern as X intent) instead of share-offsite URL-only flow that opened an empty “Share your thoughts” composer; clipboard copy remains a fallback when the popup is blocked

Changed

• Share captions: removed “Sourced on worldwatcher.app” from share text — event + place/date (+ confirmed deaths if any), then deep link only

Notes

• Stale link-preview cards on LinkedIn are cached by LinkedIn, not our HTML. Refresh a URL with LinkedIn Post Inspector after tagline or OG changes

Version 0.6.36 · 2026-09-10

Fixed

• LinkedIn share: copies the full post text to the clipboard before opening LinkedIn — paste into the composer (LinkedIn share-offsite cannot prefill the post body). Menu item tooltip/aria: “Copies post, then opens LinkedIn”

Changed

• Share copy rules: event name + place/date only; casualties included only when deaths is a known number — no category/type tags, no “Deaths unknown” or similar phrases (client share text and server OG description)

Notes

• Stale link-preview cards on LinkedIn are cached by LinkedIn, not our HTML. Refresh a URL with LinkedIn Post Inspector after tagline or OG changes

Version 0.6.35 · 2026-09-10

Changed

• Site tagline: worldwatcher.app · Global monitor for incidents and disasters — updated default <title>, og:title, twitter:title, and homepage meta descriptions (layer tab labels unchanged)
• Share menu: Copy post copies the full fact-line caption plus deep link; Copy link remains URL-only; X intent and native Web Share unchanged

Version 0.6.34 · 2026-09-10

Fixed

• Social unfurls for ?id= and ?layer=floods&id= deep links: Edge Middleware rewrites homepage requests with an id query to /api/og before Vercel serves static index.html (filesystem routing bypassed the v0.6.33 vercel.json rewrite)

Version 0.6.33 · 2026-09-10

Added

• Server-side Open Graph for deep links (?id= / ?layer=floods&id=): Vercel rewrites incident URLs to /api/og, which injects event-specific og:title, og:description, og:url, and twitter:* meta from a build-time index

Changed

• Share / unfurl fact line now includes country, deaths (or “Deaths unknown”), and category/type — aligned with server OG description

Version 0.6.32 · 2026-09-10

Added

• Share control on incident and flood detail panels: copy deep link, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and native Web Share on supported mobile browsers
• Deep links (?id= / ?layer=floods&id=) open the matching record on load; share text uses a short fact line (name, date, place, deaths) plus worldwatcher.app link
• Client-side og:title, og:description, and og:url update when a detail panel is open

Version 0.6.31 · 2026-09-09

Changed

• 3D tips (coach mark and 3D button tooltip) now say Ctrl + drag to grab and rotate instead of Shift + drag to orbit (native MapLibre dragRotate); Shift+left-drag still works as a quiet Mac fallback

Version 0.6.30 · 2026-09-09

Fixed

• Map-controls tooltips: coach mark and floating hover tips no longer stack (e.g. on 3D button); first-use 3D coach mark still shows on enable only
• Native browser title tooltips stripped on map-controls toolbar buttons (Leaflet zoom, MapLibre compass) so only custom floating tips appear

Version 0.6.29 · 2026-09-09

Added

• 3D navigation hint floats above the bottom map-controls bar on first 3D enable (persisted dismissal in ww-3d-help-seen; re-shown on 3D button hover/focus)
• Hover/focus tooltips on map-controls toolbar buttons (basemap, labels, theme, 3D, compass, zoom)

Changed

• Compass icon in the bottom toolbar uses classic red north / blue south needle styling
• Light theme: selected layer tabs, preset chips, and active map-control buttons use blue accent fills instead of black

Version 0.6.28 · 2026-09-09

Fixed

• MapLibre 3D rotate on macOS: Shift+left-drag changes bearing and pitch while 3D is enabled (in addition to right-drag / Ctrl+left-drag); contextmenu is suppressed on the 3D canvas so right-drag rotate works when available
• 3D compass control moved from top-right (hidden under the incident detail panel) into the bottom map-controls bar, so reset bearing/pitch stays reachable when a detail panel is open

Version 0.6.27 · 2026-09-09

Fixed

• MapLibre 3D local navigation: zoomed-in views switch from globe to Mercator so pan, zoom, rotate, and pitch work reliably after focusing an incident or flood path (~z11)
• Navigation compass control (top-right) makes rotate/pitch discoverable; drag/touch handlers are re-enabled after camera moves
• Terrarium DEM terrain is enabled for all zoomed-in 3D views (mild exaggeration ~1.1) so elevation relief is visible — terrain wins over globe when the two conflict; globe remains the world-scale opener at low zoom

Version 0.6.26 · 2026-09-09

Fixed

• MapLibre 3D blank gray canvas: #map-3d no longer uses HTML hidden (display: none) during init — container stays in layout with visibility/pointer-events so the WebGL canvas gets real dimensions from first paint
• 3D enable now double-resizes (rAF + short timeout), calls syncBaseLayers(), and triggerRepaint() so Esri basemap tiles appear after toggling
• Globe projection is applied after style/layers load; explicit background layer prevents empty gray globe while rasters load
• Terrain DEM remains disabled in globe mode (atmosphere/sky only)

Version 0.6.25 · 2026-09-09

Fixed

• MapLibre 3D globe view: upgraded vendored MapLibre GL JS from 4.7.1 to 5.24.0 so setProjection({ type: 'globe' }) works (fixes blank gray canvas and MAP3D_PROJECTION_UNSUPPORTED)
• 3D enable now always calls syncBaseLayers() so Esri basemap rasters become visible on the globe
• Terrain DEM is disabled in globe mode to avoid blanking the map (atmosphere/sky still shown)

Version 0.6.24 · 2026-09-09

Changed

• MapLibre 3D mode now opens in globe projection with a full-Earth view (slight pitch and atmosphere) instead of a flat pitched Mercator map

Version 0.6.23 · 2026-09-09

Fixed

• Content-Security-Policy connect-src now allows Esri basemap tiles (server.arcgisonline.com) required by MapLibre GL 3D mode

Version 0.6.22 · 2026-09-09

Added

• MapLibre GL 3D map toggle: tilt, rotate, and terrain exaggeration on the Dam Incidents / Floods map
• 3D preference persists in localStorage (ww-map-3d)

Version 0.6.21 · 2026-09-07

Fixed

• Sitemap and canonicals use clean URLs (/privacy, not /privacy.html) so Google does not crawl redirecting .html paths

Version 0.6.20 · 2026-09-07

Added

• Planned badge for announced future releases (planned: true); date line reads “Planned for …”

Version 0.6.19 · 2026-09-02

Added

• Privacy-friendly visit counts via Plausible (no cookies)

Version 0.6.11 · 2026-08-30

Fixed

Version 0.6.10 · 2026-08-30

Added

• Dam tab can show a public-domain photo of the structure when we have one

Version 0.6.9 · 2026-08-28

Fixed

Version 0.6.8 · 2026-08-28

Fixed

• Rasuwa flood path now starts at the ice-rock avalanche into Lhende (28.29417, 85.51081), not the northern 东林 headwater lake

Version 0.6.7 · 2026-08-28

Added

• Floods layer has a Dams chip that shows dam incidents tied to the visible floods

Fixed

• Rasuwa / Bhotekoshi flood shows the Lhende–Bhotekoshi–Trishuli corridor

Version 0.6.5 · 2026-08-28

Fixed

• Location line always writes the country (it used to hide it when location_label was set)

Version 0.6.4 · 2026-08-27

Fixed

• Country filter zooms to that country’s pins and stays there (home view no longer snaps back to the world)

Version 0.6.3 · 2026-08-27

Changed

• Map and Auto no longer use Carto tiles (those now watermark “API key required”)
• Dark and light basemaps are Esri canvas, same as Aerial’s Esri tiles

Version 0.6.2 · 2026-08-27

Added

• Cause tab links to the related flood when a dam row has related_flood_id

Version 0.6.1 · 2026-08-27

Changed

Version 0.5.2 · 2026-08-23

Fixed

• Contact and Report a correction forms: honeypot spam-trap fields renamed to avoid browser autofill interference
• Browser password managers no longer auto-fill honeypot fields (was silently blocking legitimate submissions)
• Honeypot fields now use non-semantic names (hp_leave_blank, hp_field_blank) with autocomplete="off"
• Contact and Report a correction panels now same width as incident detail panel (400px on desktop, matching layout)

Security

• Honeypot anti-spam protection remains active with improved field names that avoid triggering autofill

Version 0.5.1 · 2026-08-23

Fixed

• Report a correction and Contact panels: Send buttons now sit directly under the last field with normal gap

• Large dams (height ≥30m or large reservoir capacity) zoom to 14-15 to show both structure and reservoir
• Medium dams (height 10-30m) zoom to 16
• Small structures (weirs, sluices, small irrigation tanks) zoom to 17-18 for better structure visibility
• Replaces previous fixed zoom level of 19 which was too close for large reservoirs

Version 0.1.3 · 2026-08-23

Fixed
