Publication history

Change the conclusion when the evidence changes. Keep the trail.

This is a public release history of material site and editorial-system changes. It complements the claim correction ledger: release history explains what the publication changed; claim history explains what QAEDA changed its mind about.

Scope

Material changes, not every edit.

Typos, routine content cleanup, and protected working-memory details are omitted. For factual reversals or attribution corrections, use Claims & Corrections.

  1. v3.4.0

    Worked governance case studies

    Added six hypothetical/composite case studies that apply the ten QAEDA Decision Tests without numeric scoring, publish test-by-test findings and revision conditions, and connect examples back to arguments, claims, positions, essays, and reading paths.

  2. v3.3.0

    Decision tests & censorship research expansion

    Preserved 32 additional censorship and information-rights dossiers (65 total), added a mechanism-first censorship hub, ten synthesis essays, fifteen claim records, ten passage annotations, five arguments, two reading paths, and expanded the decision-test framework from eight to ten non-numeric tests.

  3. v3.2.0

    Inspectable argument map

    Added stable QAEDA-ARG records with explicit theses, strongest objections, revision conditions, cross-argument relations, and links to claims, evidence, positions, annotations, essays, and reading paths.

  4. v3.1.0

    Passage-level provenance

    Added stable QAEDA-ANN passage annotations linking consequential essay statements to public claim statuses and protected source-dossier identifiers without exposing dossier bodies.

  5. v3.0.0
  6. v2.9.0
  7. v2.8.0

    Publication identity & citation

    Added a public publication-identity and collective-authorship policy, stable QAEDA-ART document identifiers, and plain-text, BibTeX, RIS, and CSL-JSON citation exports for every essay.

  8. v2.7.0

    Public participation & FAQ

    Added a structured FAQ and a privacy-conscious local contribution drafting protocol so readers can challenge claims, submit counterevidence, and contribute sources without an open comment feed or server-side submission database.

  9. v2.6.0

    Reference layer

    Added a public glossary, current-positions ledger, and release-history surface so terminology, normative commitments, claim evidence, and project evolution remain visibly separate.

  10. v2.5.0

    Research discovery & methodology

    Added the public methodology and evidence maps connecting 33 protected source dossiers to themes, public synthesis, and claim records without exposing report bodies.

  11. v2.4.0
  12. v2.3.0

    Editorial navigation

    Added canonical topic hubs, server-rendered topic filtering, and article topic metadata while keeping filtered archive views out of the canonical index.

  13. v2.2.0

    Claim-level transparency

    Added Claims & Corrections with explicit evidence statuses, confidence, revision conditions, and visible correction history.

  14. v2.1.0
  15. v2.0.0

    Performance & maintainability

    Added responsive hero delivery, OpenSearch, centralized build versioning, caching/compression rules, and a repeatable release checker.

  16. v1.9.0

    Launch readiness

    Added privacy, accessibility, and security trust pages plus deployment/contact hardening and protected-source HTTP boundaries.

  17. v1.8.0

    Publication resilience

    Improved 404/search recovery, canonical copy-link actions, print/PDF behavior, and progressive reading utilities.

  18. v1.5.0

    UI/UX layout correction

    Corrected the QAEDA.ORG wordmark, navigation density, short-height hero layout, wide hero composition, inner-page hero system, and mobile menu behavior.

Two histories

Release history and correction history answer different questions.
