    • NewAdded a sitemap index with separate static, organization, cycle, project-year, taxonomy, article, and proposal sitemaps.
    • FixAdded every canonical project detail, excluded thin taxonomy and tag archives, and replaced build-time timestamps with material source dates or no lastmod value.
    • TestsAdded exhaustive production route, sitemap, canonical identity, and dead-link regression checks.
  2. v1.5.3

    Complete GSoC 2026 Project Catalog

    Recovered the missing 2026 project and contributor catalog, retained every available project detail, and made source limitations explicit instead of displaying false zeroes.

  4. v1.5.1
