The old auraborosV3.1 badge was not a real release system. This page is now the canonical public version ledger, and the current site is tracked as v4.2.8.
Current Version
v4.2.8
Formal release numbering now lives here and in the footer version badge.
How To Read It
Each version is a milestone era of the site, not a commit-by-commit log. This keeps the evolution readable instead of turning it into noise.

Added live Calendly booking support to the Contact page so Auraboros can function more like a business card and direct lead-conversion surface.

Release
v4.2.3

Homepage Recovery + Archive Search
Hardened server-side JSON loading so the homepage Top 10 and breaking ticker can recover from asset-fetch failures instead of collapsing into empty or loading placeholders.
Expanded the blog index into a searchable full-archive surface with month filtering, and restacked the Report Digest signup module so it fits the blog rail cleanly.
Deduplicated same-day archive records and diversified default social-share copy across LinkedIn, X, and Bluesky so distribution text no longer repeats the same framing everywhere.

Added a branded custom 404 page with a dedicated editorial image, recovery links, and real 404 status responses for unknown routes, missing guides, and missing daily-report URLs.
