• Orthographic pins with view-based foreshortening; longer/thicker gray cylinders
• Pins rendered only in Orthographic; circles for other projections
• Hemisphere culling with clipAngle(90) for ortho
• Zoom behavior fixes: stop rotation while zoomed; always high-res land in ortho; robust pin visibility at high zoom
• Tilted-axis auto-rotate with auto-return guards
• Updated islands data

• Interactive 3D globe using D3.js Orthographic projection
• SIDS islands marked with pin-style cylinder markers
• Auto-rotation with Earth’s axial tilt (23.44°)
• Drag to rotate (versor-based); click to pause/resume; double-click to zoom
• Hover tooltips showing island names
• Multiple projection support: Orthographic, Mercator, Equal Earth
• High/low resolution land data switching
• Responsive canvas sizing
• GitHub Pages deployment setup

• Container-based sizing: Canvas/globe sizes based on parent container (#globe-container), getContainerDimensions() function, ResizeObserver, 40px GLOBE_MARGIN constant
• Hover rings: Two concentric geodesic rings at pin base when hovered; follow Earth’s curvature; configurable radius, width, and opacity per ring
• Hemisphere-edge perspective fade: Smooth fade from center (1.0) to horizon (0.0) for pins and satellite; pins shrink and fade naturally approaching horizon; removed hard cutoff
• Land resolution corrected: land-50m.json = HIGH resolution, land-110m.json = LOWER resolution; land50 used as high-res for Orthographic projection
• Auto-rotation performance: Low-res (land110) during smooth auto-rotation; automatically switches to high-res (land50) when rotation stops, zoomed, or during interaction
• Ocean glow effect: Multi-layered stroke-based glow; smooth white-to-transparent gradient; adjustable via oceanGlowEnabled, maxGlowWidth, numLayers, opacity
• Fixed: pins no longer disappear abruptly at hemisphere edge — smooth fade
• Fixed: performance issue during auto-rotation — now uses low-res land

• feat: add touch gesture support for mobile devices — single tap pause/resume, double tap zoom
• feat: add independent satellite animation layer — great circle orbit, independent timer, SVG rendering
• Satellite: satelliteEnabled, satelliteSpeed = -20°/s, satelliteInclination = 30°; same hemisphere fade logic as pins
• SVG satellite asset added to art folder

• Migrated from touch events to Pointer Events API for unified mouse/touch/pen handling
• Added early CSS hardening: touch-action: none on container and canvas
• Improved event handler cleanup to prevent memory leaks
• Added pointer-events: none on tooltip to prevent tap interception
• user-select: none and -webkit-touch-callout: none to prevent text selection and callouts on mobile
• Rotation-based tap detection — checks if globe rotated during touch rather than time-based threshold
• Reliable tap detection regardless of rotation speed or pause state

• Touch gesture and drag conflict resolved; stable desktop and mobile behavior confirmed

• Stable release — MVP confirmed

• Alternating ring colors for highlighted pins: Five concentric geodesic rings with alternating pink and white colors
• Ring radii: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 pixels; automatic color alternation (pink → white → pink → white → pink)
• Ring configuration now uses color array for easy modification

• Dark side shading effect: Globe shading to simulate sun position, independent of globe rotation
• Adjustable via SUN_X_OFFSET and SUN_Y_OFFSET constants; smooth gradient falloff with configurable SHADOW_FALLOFF
• Dark side intensity via DARK_SIDE_INTENSITY constant; ENABLE_DARK_SIDE feature flag for performance toggle
• Dark side in fixed screen-space position regardless of globe rotation
• Multiply blend mode for natural darkening; applied only to visible hemisphere for performance

• Satellite glow beacon added: Blinking red dot with red glow effect centered on satellite image
• Configurable blink rate (default 3000ms); smooth opacity fade using sine wave animation
• Dot positioned with configurable x/y offsets; glow radius and dot radius independently configurable
• Respects hemisphere fade (fades when satellite goes behind globe)
• Version number moved to controls container (top right, next to projection selector)
• Version display visible on all devices including mobile/tablet
• Mobile safe area support added; viewport meta updated with viewport-fit=cover

• Dispatch globe:ready event after app.js loads for staging preview hooks
• Expose initGlobe on window for external bootstrapping
• Respect data-controls=external to skip JS-generated controls
• Satellite beacon dot color updated to blue
• CSS formatting normalized in widgets/globe/style.css
• Loader now derives GLOBE_BASE from its own URL
• Assets resolve through GLOBE_BASE when available

• Default controls styling now applies only when data-controls is not external

• Expose version via CONFIG.version
• Update #version element from config when available

• Move globe assets into widgets/globe directory
• Keep documentation in docs/ folder (see docs/folder_reno.md)

• UN status color mapping for tooltip, ring, and pin highlighting
• Webflow tooltip binding support via .globe-tooltip #tooltip
• Globe data features now include un_status, population, and description
• Added regional group entries (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, Oceania) to islands data

• Webflow tooltip force-shown/hidden via JS for hover visibility
• Webflow tooltip bindings for territory, population, and description fields

• Webflow tooltip bindings for territory fields including capital
• Territory descriptions populated in islands data

• Menu empty-state toggles (#globe-menu-state) and content group visibility (.globe-menu-group)
• Click-only menu updates while tooltip remains hover-only

• Desktop mouse hover now pauses rotation near pins and resumes when moving away
• Click on empty canvas clears selection without toggling pause

• Desktop pause proximity now aligns with outer hover ring distance

• Updated islands.json data file

• Resolved desktop mouse pause and selection interactions

• New bar race chart widget added to the widget library

• Updated race bar chart styling and UX

• Bar Chart Race v1.0.3: structured controls row (Replay + scrubber), responsive chart sizing from container dimensions
• Coordinate-based hover hit-testing for moving bars; animated flow overlay interpolation by category
• Timing/ticker defaults tuned (k frames per step, bottom-right ticker placement) for smoother playback
• Added instructions-odi-publish.md — branch roles, Pages publish flow, Webflow environment rules, runtime mode guidance, Cloudflare notes
• Added publishing-diagram.mmd — documents branch promotion and hosting flow

• Merge development-x into main — major chart updates, version 1.0.4

• Added butterfly chart v1.0 to gh-pages
• Published URL added to gh-pages documentation

• Zoom-into-pill: Click/tap opens full-canvas zoom view; pill fills width with correct left/right rounding; shows element name, flow/objective, amount, and category placeholder description; tap zoom view to close and resume animation
• Pill hover: nesw-resize cursor on pills; subtle pulse (scale 1.02–1.08) with smooth easing; value label pulses with the pill
• Overlay layer: Hover clones pill into a top-level overlay so it always draws above neighbors; overlay position synced every frame so clone follows the chart animation and stays under the cursor
• Zoom view: left pills rounded left / right pills rounded right; text and padding aligned by side; responsive type and padding (clamp + vw); 20vw padding on rounded side; Helvetica font; zoom transition on open/close
• Click anywhere on a pill (including value text) opens zoom; segment labels use pointer-events: none so the rect receives the click

• Mobile tap to zoom fixed: Tap on a pill now opens zoom view on mobile/tablet — added touchend handler with preventDefault() and touch-action: manipulation so taps register without delay
• Hover effect (pulse, overlay clone) disabled on touch devices — touch devices get tap-to-zoom only with pointer cursor

• Mobile tap open/close fixed: Zoom open and close now reliably trigger on mobile — added pointerup on pills for touch, overlay close on touchend + pointerup with preventDefault/stopPropagation, overlay touch-action: manipulation and -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent, aria attributes for close overlay
• Background color variable for chart/controls/legend/area (#ecebeb)
• Bar Chart Race overlay: show/hide by visibility only — 180ms opacity fade, no grow-from-left animation
• Bar Chart Race background: chart and controls strip share one background via CSS variable --bar-race-bg (default #aa9d8a)
• X-axis tick labels now white and bold
• Overlay no longer pops on hover — smooth fade-in on show, fade-out on pointer leave
• Controls strip background now matches chart area via var(--bar-race-bg)

Updated hover behavior and mobile landscape layout adjustments.
