From CHANGELOG.md.
- Added: Animated wireframe schematics for all 18 fronts (front pages, Fronts index, home) and for all 19 glossary term categories (
/terms/and every term page). - Added: Molecule thumbnails wherever a product is mentioned: cards in pipelines, connected lists, and product tabs; hover popover with the rotating molecule on inline drug chips.
- Added: Self-hosted organisation logos under
public/logos/(Wikimedia Commons via Wikidata with domain verification, favicon fallback) for companies, institutions, and collections. - Added:
personkind (clinicians and scientists: role, specialisms, profiles, papers) with a People index and a People tab on institution pages. - Added: Site favicon and Apple touch icon; GitHub link in the header.
- Added: Public-readiness: CI workflow, issue and pull-request templates, Code of Conduct, security policy, consolidated contributing guide.
- Changed: Graph explorer rebuilt as a clean radial view (fronts inner ring, cancers outer ring) with a focus mode that groups neighbours by kind; no physics.
- Changed: Header language and theme controls are single-line and compact.
- Changed: Footer and About page carry the work-in-progress disclaimer: verify every fact at its primary source; not medical advice.
