Release notes

What changed, and when.

Every report names the version that produced it. This is what each version changed.

Every state and territory

All eight jurisdictions return a scored assessment, each tested live with a real address in its capital.

ACT parcels

Canberra parcels now resolve from the Territory Plan service and get a full score, where before they sent you to an external portal.

South Australia

Zoning resolves from the Planning and Design Code schedule for the council, marked as such in the report, with a link to SAPPA to confirm.

Northern Territory

When the NT map server is down, zoning resolves from the encoded NT Planning Scheme. The score stands; only map imagery is missing.

Planning layers

Map overlays read the right layer from each state service. On a New South Wales test boot, all 15 zoning tiles loaded with no failures.

Faster failure

A planning service that doesn’t answer now times out and retries once, so a dead server costs seconds, not most of a minute.

Address search

Suggestions now appear above the map instead of behind it.

App version

The desktop app that produced the report, for example 3.0.0.

Score method

The scoring rules and weights, for example SCORE V1.1. A new method version can change a score for the same site, so we name it on every report.
