Release notes

Volcanoes show again, as still erupting

Volcanoes could vanish from the globe entirely: every time window read 0
volcanoes while the Smithsonian and USGS weekly report listed twenty erupting.
Each volcano was dated by the day its report came out, so once that day slipped
out of the chosen window the volcano went with it, although the report says the
activity continues. The 24 hour window showed volcanoes only on the day a
report appeared.

A volcano in the latest weekly report now counts as erupting now, so it shows
in whichever window you choose. Its detail reads, for example, "Continuing:
report for 10 to 16 Sep 2026, issued 17 Sep 2026", in place of a time the
source never gave. In a replay a volcano appears from the first day of the week
its report covers.

The report is published weekly. If the newest one is more than 14 days old,
because the source has stopped or fallen behind, its volcanoes are no longer
shown and the provider status says why, rather than showing a stale eruption
for ever. One late report never empties the globe.

Landslides, drought and dust haze are filed under Other

The key listed landslides, drought and dust haze, which always read 0: NASA's
EONET, the only source for them, published none in the past year. Those rows
have gone, so the key lists the seven kinds of event the sources actually
report. Should EONET publish one of them, it appears under Other, which also
holds the USGS's quarry blasts and explosions. If you had hidden one of those
three rows, "All events" may show as active until you press it once.
