v1.1.0 (Infrastructure and Transparency Update)

Released: 8 December 2025 (GMT)

Features & Enhancements - **Transparency:** Implemented a new, live `/changelog` page linked in the footer. This page automatically pulls and displays official GitHub release versions for full transparency on site maintenance. - **Analytics Migration:** Replaced the legacy Google Analytics 4 (GA4) system with Umami Analytics, a dedicated cookieless and privacy-focused tracking tool. This enhances user anonymity and reduces data collection. Compliance & Legal Updates - **Consent Integration:** The Umami script is now fully managed by Cloudflare Zaraz, ensuring it only loads after the user explicitly grants consent for Analytics. - **Policy Update:** Updated the Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy to accurately reflect the removal of GA4 and the use of cookieless Umami Analytics.
