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 qc for 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.
