Dated product, data and policy changes

Editorial changelog

This changelog records changes that can affect what readers see or how directory evidence is interpreted. Cosmetic adjustments and routine validated data refreshes are not listed individually.

01

22 August 2026 — verified profile infrastructure

Introduced 42 canonical server profiles, including 41 distinct imported source identifiers and the disclosed first-party Lineage2 World of AI profile. Profiles consolidate repeated placements, show dated evidence and separate sponsorship from editorial facts.

Added a private moderation console with signed, expiring administrator sessions; a manual submission decision trail; domain-based owner claims using DNS TXT or official homepage meta tags; and an administrator-reviewed rich profile editor.

  • Owner proof and editorial approval are separate states
  • Contact email remains AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest
  • Profile edits write an immutable audit copy
  • Approved submissions can create canonical server profiles
02

22 August 2026 — votes and exact-rate pages

Added a rolling seven-day community vote chart built from one pseudonymous vote marker per public IP, server and UTC day. The chart labels unusual daily acceleration for review and states that votes do not prove server quality or population.

Added administrator controls to pause voting, exclude documented abuse dates and hide a server from the community chart without modifying source evidence. Every moderation change writes an immutable audit copy.

Added exact-rate directory pages only when the current validated snapshot contains at least two distinct matching servers. This data gate avoids publishing empty or misleading SEO pages.

  • Advertising never creates votes
  • Source order remains separate from community voting
  • Exact-rate pages update with the validated snapshot
03

21 August 2026 — source ingestion and profile links

Implemented a validated daily L2OOPS snapshot importer with separate occurrence and unique-server counts. Directory rows now open canonical L2Servers100 profiles instead of source redirect endpoints.

Added a safe official-URL audit that resolves public destinations, blocks private and reserved networks, limits redirects and response size, and attributes observed homepage metadata to the operator. The scheduled 06:00 Europe/Vilnius refresh now audits a bounded rotating profile batch; a homepage-audit failure cannot replace or invalidate a good directory snapshot.

  • Failed imports do not replace a previously validated snapshot
  • Sponsored source placements keep visible labels
  • No online population is invented from a listing row
04

20–21 August 2026 — multilingual editorial foundation

Published English, Polish, Russian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Spanish, Italian, Ukrainian, French and German directory and evergreen guide clusters with canonical and hreflang validation.

Added XML sitemap, robots.txt, llms.txt, expanded machine-readable context, organization and article schema, editorial policy, advertising disclosure, privacy, terms and correction workflows.

  • Localized pages are indexed only under explicit content and listing gates
  • English-only profile pages do not receive fake translated alternates
  • First-party promotion is disclosed throughout the site

How future entries are chosen

We add an entry when a change affects ranking interpretation, source provenance, sponsorship, owner verification, privacy, voting, canonical URLs, indexation or material public facts. Routine daily refresh timestamps remain visible on the relevant pages instead of creating repetitive changelog entries.
