Changelog

All notable changes to ARCHIE will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog,
and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Unreleased

Added

• Feedback form at /feedback — submit data corrections, suggest new games, report missing info, or leave general community feedback
• Submissions open a GitHub issue for maintainer review; nothing is applied automatically
• Emulator column restored to the game list
• Changelog and Feedback links moved into the header alongside the theme toggle, visible from every page
• Apple touch icon, so adding ARCHIE to an iOS home screen shows the ARCHIE mark instead of a screenshot
• SVG favicon, which stays sharp at any tab or bookmark size
• Canonical URLs on every page, and structured data describing the directory so search engines can offer a search box for it
• A sitemap and a robots.txt, so search engines are told directly which pages exist and where to find the sitemap

Changed

• Pages are dramatically lighter: the home page dropped from 323 KB to 55 KB and the feedback page from 323 KB to 69 KB, so both load faster on slow connections
• Shortened the search-result description so Google no longer cuts it off mid-sentence
• ARCHIE has moved to archie.findquinn.com — social share cards, the preview image, and README links now point to the new address
• Refreshed game data — 83 corrected download links and 65 platform corrections across the directory
• ARCHIE is now in maintenance mode; see SECURITY.md for what that means for support and reporting

Fixed

• 43 download links carried a stray amp; in their web address, which sent some of them to the wrong page — all now resolve correctly
• The 18+ / unrated marker from the game sheet is now recorded correctly — 25 affected games were being stored as unflagged. The marker is not shown anywhere in the app yet
• The badge endpoint returned a server error instead of a clear "unknown stat" message for certain reserved words

Security

• Feedback submissions can no longer be used to send GitHub notifications to unrelated people: @mentions and issue references in submitted text are now inert
• Feedback submissions are rate limited at the network edge, so a flood is turned away before it can reach the form handler or open issues
• The rate limit now counts submissions per visitor using an address the platform sets, rather than one a sender could put in the request themselves
• A stalled call to GitHub now times out after 10 seconds instead of holding the request open
• Removed the unmaintained xlsx spreadsheet dependency, clearing a high-severity advisory that had no fix available
• Updated Next.js to 16.2.12, resolving 22 advisories including server-side request forgery, middleware bypass, and cross-site scripting
• Updated the Markdown renderer to patch a denial-of-service issue
• Patched transitive postcss and sharp vulnerabilities
• The production dependency tree now has no known vulnerabilities
• Dependency installs now refuse any package version published less than 7 days ago, so a compromised release has time to be caught and pulled before it can reach a build

0.2.0 - 2026-04-12

Added

• Changelog page at /changelog

Changed

• Removed the Emulator column from the game list (no data available yet)
• Status column is wider, so longer labels like "Broken on Main" display cleanly
• Platform labels are now consistent — GameCube entries previously split between "GC" and "GameCube" now all show "GameCube"; "NDS" now shows as "DS"
• Bundled games with no separate download link now link to their official Archipelago game page
• Roughly 50 fewer duplicate entries in the game list, where the same APWorld was appearing under two slightly different names

Fixed

• Deployments no longer fail when environment variables are absent
• Environment variable parsing now handles quoted values and inline comments correctly
• Build cache is validated before being used to skip regeneration
• Typing in the search box no longer loses focus mid-search
• Column headers now align properly with the rows below them

0.1.0 - 2025-04-12

Added

• Initial release of ARCHIE — the Archipelago Multi-Game Randomizer Directory
• Browse and search games supported by the Archipelago randomizer
• Filter by status, platform, emulator, genre, and type
• Shareable URLs that preserve your current search and filters
• Dark and light mode
• Mobile-friendly layout
