v0.23.0

8 September 2026

Only People Get a Profile

Improvements
  • Project pages, cards, the activity feed and the globe now credit a person only when a real member submitted or edited the project — with their picture, name, title, organisation and links. Projects catalogued without a named member show no byline at all, and carry an invitation for the people who were involved to claim the page
  • Members who edited a project are still listed under Other Contributors; automated and anonymous edits no longer appear there as if they were a person
  • The activity feed and globe keep showing every new and updated project, but a project with no named member now leads with the project itself rather than a stand-in name and avatar
Fixes
  • Country pages and search results no longer link an unnamed submitter to a member page that did not exist
  • The activity feed can no longer show a member’s email address in place of a missing name

v0.22.0

20 August 2026

The Globe, Rebuilt

Features
  • The globe has been rebuilt around an always-on constellation: every deployment appears as an industry-coloured dot at its real location, with hover details and a click that opens the project in place — co-located projects offer a pick list
  • Countries are now a browse surface in their own right — hovering shows how many projects live there, clicking lists them, and featured stories fly the camera to frame each country beside its card
  • A featured project now leads the home page, followed by a shelf of the latest deployments to browse
  • Projects without photography now get generated hero art — a stylised map of their location — instead of an empty frame
Improvements
  • Behind-the-scenes improvements to the assisted submission channel for AI helpers — clearer guidance and stricter checks, so drafts arrive cleaner for review
Fixes
  • Five cities that previously failed to place on the globe now sit where they belong
  • A background data failure can no longer blank whole pages — affected sections now degrade gracefully instead

v0.21.0

19 August 2026

Credit Where It’s Due

Features
  • Photo credits and captions now appear beneath project images, so every picture can say whose it is and what it shows
Improvements
  • A provenance sweep added credits to existing project photography across the catalogue
  • Stricter image acceptance: project photography must come from the organisations involved or properly licensed sources — pictures lifted from news articles are no longer accepted
Fixes
  • Image credits no longer show a doubled “Photo: Photo by …” prefix
