# August 2026

- [changed] **Changelog and roadmap pages** carry the same layout everywhere, and their "nothing here yet" text is translated instead of English-only.
- [changed] **Guide pages read like a book** — a Back button on the title line, and links to the previous and next guide at the foot, alongside the rest of the section.
- [fixed] **Guide summaries are whole sentences** — cards and search results used to cut off wherever the source file happened to wrap a line.
- [added] **Client logs** — the game uploads its own log lines and they are re-emitted into the server's own log stream, so one search for a session id returns both sides of a failure. Browse sessions at `/admin/logs`; off by default.
- [added] **Logs page filters by client session and user**, and separates client entries from the server's own tail.
- [fixed] **Logins survive a busy database** — the analytics day-marker and daily counters drop a failed write instead of failing the request they ride on.
- [fixed] **Repeat quests** re-arm right away again, instead of once an hour.
- [changed] **Matchmaking is near-instant** — a join sweeps immediately instead of waiting for the tick.
- [added] **Performance guide** — measured throughput, capacity and database choice.
- [added] **Socket buffer size** is configurable — the largest per-connection memory cost.
- [changed] **Logins return sooner** — the last-seen and activity writes moved off the request path.
- [fixed] **Concurrent signups** no longer queue behind each other on SQLite.
- [added] **Load-test harness** — per-feature benchmarks and a capacity journey, in `stress/`.
- [fixed] **Benchmark RPCs** measured an error path, not a locked write.
- [fixed] **Realtime events arrived twice**
- [fixed] **Language flags** are cached, so they no longer pop in after the text.
- [fixed] **Deleting an account deletes its avatar** from storage.
- [changed] **One heading scale** across the shipped pages.
- [added] **Player analytics** — D1 / D7 / D30
- [fixed] **Accessible theme colors**
- [added] **RULES.md** — design & accessibility rules.
- [added] **Grouped** quests.
- [added] **Repeat** quest reset type.
