The Aerod changelog records product, routing, design, documentation, methodology, and trust-layer changes. It is not a marketing timeline.
2026-07-03 — Browser Leak Test and Proxy/VPN Detection routes
Aerod added the remaining live app routes from the uploaded app package and kept DNS Leak Test planned until resolver test infrastructure exists:
- Added
/apps/browser-leak-test/as the public route for browser exposure, storage behavior, permissions, privacy controls, and fix guidance. - Added
/apps/proxy-vpn-detection/as the public route for proxy/VPN route consistency and mismatch interpretation. - Updated the Apps hub, homepage app cards, sitemap, runtime cache headers, runtime redirects, methodology docs, browser exposure docs, data handling notes, README, and QC checks.
- Left DNS Leak Test as a planned card because a real DNS leak test needs controlled DNS infrastructure.
2026-07-03 — Browser Fingerprint Check route
Aerod added a focused app route for local browser fingerprint-surface diagnostics:
- Added
/apps/browser-fingerprint-check/as the canonical public Browser Fingerprint Check route. - Mounted the packaged Vue/Vite runtime directly and kept the runtime asset files in the app runtime folder.
- Updated app cards, homepage paths, sitemap records, runtime cache headers, docs, policy language, and QC checks.
2026-07-03 — Production content QC
Aerod tightened public copy and restored the intended launch structure:
- Rewrote the affordable proxy shortlist methodology so it explains reader-facing evaluation criteria instead of internal selection logic.
- Removed public wording that exposed build instructions, internal source handling, or provider-link mechanics.
- Restored the Cybersecurity hub as a defensive security section without publishing unfinished cybersecurity articles.
- Restored planned app cards on the Apps hub and then converted uploaded app runtimes into live routes as they became available.
- Expanded QC checks for internal-instruction leakage, public placeholder language, stale route references, and sitemap coverage.
2026-07-03 — WebRTC Leak Test route
Aerod added a focused app route for browser connection candidate exposure:
- Added
/apps/webrtc-leak-test/as the canonical public WebRTC app route. - Mounted the packaged Vue/Vite runtime directly without editing the app bundle.
- Updated app cards, homepage paths, sitemap records, runtime cache headers, robots rules, docs, and QC checks.
2026-07-02 — IP Lookup route update
Aerod changed the app strategy so the public app route is focused on IP Lookup and What’s My IP intent:
- Added
/apps/ip-lookup/as the canonical public app route. - Removed the old app route from public navigation and sitemap records.
- Updated app copy, homepage CTAs, footer links, docs, policy language, sitemap, and schema around IP Lookup.
- Kept provider and comparison pages inside
/proxies/and/vpn/.
2026-07-02 — Launch simplification
Aerod reduced launch clutter before broader release:
- Reduced the public article set to pages with complete source material and clear reader value.
- Kept Aerod focused on IP lookup, app checks, proxies, VPN, guides, defensive cybersecurity, docs, and policies.
- Kept proxy and VPN provider/comparison pages public after tightening their scope and disclosures.
- Simplified homepage, hubs, app cards, docs, policies, and article layouts for clearer click paths.
2026-07-02 — QC stabilization
The repository was stabilized before further app and content changes:
- Restored missing support components and people data used by the article and hub systems.
- Wired JSON-LD schema rendering through the base layout.
- Expanded content frontmatter validation.
- Hardened provider-link routing so only approved external destinations are active.
- Added
npm run qcfor lightweight repository sanity checks before the Astro build.
2026-07-01 — Foundation and design system
The initial Aerod build established:
- Astro static-first project structure.
- Cloudflare Pages deployment through GitHub sync.
- Root-level Cloudflare Pages Function for approved provider and referral links.
- Premium homepage, hub system, docs, policies, provider pages, comparison pages, app shell, internal images, and reusable content components.
