ShadowBroker v0.9.0
What's New in v0.9.0
In-App Auto-Updater
One-click updates directly from the dashboard — no more manual downloads. Click CHECK UPDATES → confirmation dialog → AUTO UPDATE. The backend downloads the latest release zip, backs up your files, extracts over the project, and auto-restarts. Your .env, databases, and cache files are never touched. A MANUAL DOWNLOAD fallback link is always available if anything goes wrong.
Granular Ship Layer Controls
Ships are now split into 4 independent toggles in the sidebar:
- Military / Carriers — naval vessels and aircraft carriers
- Cargo / Tankers — commercial shipping
- Civilian Vessels — everything else
- Cruise / Passenger — passenger ships
Each toggle shows its own live count. Default: military, cargo, and passenger ON; civilian OFF.
Stable Entity Selection
Ship and flight markers now use MMSI/callsign as identifiers instead of volatile array indices. Selecting a ship or plane stays locked on even when data refreshes every 60 seconds. No more "phantom deselection" when the backend sends updated data.
Dismissible Threat Alerts
Click the × on any threat alert bubble to dismiss it for the current session. Uses stable content hashing (title + coordinates) so dismissed alerts stay hidden even across 60-second data refresh cycles.
Faster Data Loading
- GDELT military incidents now load instantly with background title enrichment (previously blocked for 2+ minutes)
- Eliminated duplicate startup fetch jobs for faster boot
- Docker healthcheck timing tuned to prevent false restarts during preload
Bug Fixes
- Removed viewport bbox filtering that caused 20-second delays when panning
- Fixed carrier tracker crash on GDELT 429/TypeError responses
- Removed fake intelligence assessment generator — all data is now real OSINT only
- Fixed ETag collision (full payload hash instead of first 256 chars)
- Added concurrent
/api/refreshguard to prevent duplicate data fetches
