Who Made This

7 September 2026

• NewContent Credentials for video. An MP4 or MOV lays out the signed history sealed inside it, the way a photo does - what made the clip, each edit in order, what it was built from, and the certificate behind it.
• NewAn AI-generation card sits beside it, gathering whatever says a model was involved and naming the generator where the file names one - Veo, Sora, Kling, Runway, Firefly, Gemini and a dozen others. A camera original shows neither card.
• Analyser reads that record. It does not check the signature, so treat it as what the file says about itself.
• NewCredentials are now read from HEIC, AVIF and WebP too, not just JPEG and PNG.
• FixFiles written to the current C2PA 2.x standard came up empty or lost their edit history.
• FasterOnly the first and last few megabytes of a video are read to find the record, so a multi-gigabyte clip costs about what a photo does.
• NewTypeScript (.ts, .mts) is read rather than shown as anonymous text - imports split into packages and neighbouring files, exports, declarations, line make-up, and a tally of the escapes from the type system (any, forced casts, suppressions).
• FixA .ts was labelled “Plain Text” and an .mts was taken for camcorder footage. Both share an extension with a video format, and both are now told apart by their contents.

8.44 - 8.45

Nameless

31 August 2026

• Some extensions name nothing at all. .bin and .out are now read for what they contain, not trusted for what they are called.
• NewA .bin is examined, not labelled. Disc images, cartridge dumps and router firmware all wear the same suffix, so it opens in a byte-level inspector: a format guess, how random the contents are, and the bytes themselves.
• NewIt names itself where the evidence allows - a raw disc image by its sector pattern, a Mega Drive cartridge by the word SEGA sitting exactly where Sega put it.
• NewA .bin that is really a ZIP, a PDF or a picture opens as that, with everything that normally comes with it. Neither extension settles the question, so the contents are consulted first.
• NewA .out is either a program or a program’s output. A compiler and a script both reach for the name, and the two look nothing alike inside, so each opens as what it is.
• NewCNC programs in the German dialect draw their toolpath. A .din is the same G-code that Heidenhain and Siemens controls speak, so it goes to the toolpath viewer and shows the part.
• NewThree unrelated programs, one .scn. A Godot game scene, a strategy scenario for OpenTTD or SimCity 2000, and the plain-text scenes Orbiter writes are told apart by their contents now.
• NewThree more known on sight: Concordance databases from legal document review, NVIDIA TensorRT engines (an AI model compiled for one graphics card, so it loads on no other), and Custom Player Models avatars from Minecraft.
• FixA .wsp was blamed on the wrong program. It is a SharePoint solution package rather than a Wondershare Filmora sub-project, and it opens as the Windows cabinet archive it really is.
• Maintenance: one of these two updates carried only refreshed sitemaps. These notes cover both.

8.31 - 8.43

Open House

29 August 2026

• Everything Analyser could name but not open now opens: buildings, molecules, AI models, design documents and music sessions. Subtitles play where their author put them, and three new tools arrive for looking hard at a file.

Things that used to be just a name

• NewA building opens as a building. An .ifc is a list of things rather than a drawing, so Analyser rebuilds the structure and draws it: project, site, building, storey, and everything on each floor by type.
• NewMolecules are drawn, not described. A .mol, .sdf, .pdb or .cif comes up in 3D, ball-and-stick for a small molecule and ribbons for a protein, with formula and weight worked out from the atoms in the file.
• NewAI models open up. An .onnx network is drawn as a graph, each step a box. Weight files report their parameter count and precision, and a local language model (.gguf) reports its architecture.
• NewA warning worth having on AI checkpoints. A PyTorch .pt is a small program, not a bag of numbers, so Analyser lists everything it would reach for on loading without running any of it.
• NewDesign documents open. A .sketch shows every page, artboard, group and layer, which of its components nothing uses, all the writing, and the pictures placed into it.
• NewMusic sessions draw their arrangement. Ableton Live and Reaper projects lay out a row per track with every clip in place, and list the recordings they point at but do not contain.

Subtitles that behave like subtitles

• NewThey appear where they were put, and karaoke sings. .ass and .ssa subtitles play on a stage you can scrub through, with signs in the corner, captions sliding across the frame, and karaoke filling in a syllable at a time.
• FixTwo subtitle faults found while building it. Karaoke timings were being swallowed into the name of the instruction carrying them, and the sweeping highlight was treated as the plain one.

Maps that show how you moved

• NewPace and density on a GPS track. A .gpx map gains pace, colouring the line by speed against the range in your own track and pinning every stop, and density, shading how often you come back to the same spot.

For looking hard at a file

• NewHow alike are these two files? A checksum only answers “identical or not”, so Compare now scores how much of two files is genuinely the same content out of 100.
• NewWindows programs say what made them. An .exe reports whether its code is packed, naming UPX, VMProtect, Themida and around thirty others. Packing is as often an installer as anything suspicious, so the card reports rather than concludes.
• NewA real database console. The query box on a SQLite file runs anything you type, changes included. You are querying a copy held in memory, and the file on your device is never written to.

Under the bonnet

• Credit where it is due: the molecule viewer is drawn by the open-source 3Dmol.js, now in the credits.
• One deliberate gap: Figma files read out their outer details but not their contents. Figma describes itself differently in every version, so there is nothing dependable to read.

8.23 - 8.30

Show and Tell

29 August 2026

• More formats that could only be named now open: GIMP images, pixel-art sprites, tracker music, Terraria world maps and game textures. Very large AVI videos open too.

Pictures that were only a name

• NewGIMP images open. A .xcf stores no finished picture, only its layers, so Analyser assembles the image itself. Every layer is decoded, masked, faded and blended as GIMP would, and the result saves as a PNG.
• NewPixel-art sprites play. An Aseprite animation plays at the file’s own per-frame timings, with the layer list, the named animations (walk, idle, attack) and any single frame saveable.
• NewGame textures show the texture. Valve’s VTF and the KTX and KTX2 files store their pictures in a form built for graphics cards, not browsers. They are decoded and displayed now, where before you got only their dimensions.
• FixiPhone app icons display. Apple’s build tools rewrite every picture inside an .ipa into a private form of PNG that no browser will show. Analyser recognises it and rebuilds an ordinary picture.

Music from the demoscene

• NewTracker music plays, about sixty formats of it. MOD, XM, IT, S3M and their relatives are sheet music plus a box of sounds, so the piece is performed on your device and then gets the full sound analysis.
• The parts a recording has no equivalent of are shown too: the tracker that wrote the file, its channels and patterns, the composer’s message, and the sample names where authors traditionally tucked their greetings.

Worlds and video

• NewA Terraria save draws its map. A .wld is drawn one pixel per tile, with terrain and ore in front, walls shaded behind, and the world name, seed, size and difficulty alongside.
• NewVery large AVI videos open. No browser plays most AVI files, and Analyser used to give up past a certain size. It now reads each frame off the disk as you reach it, so a multi-gigabyte file opens.

Two files that shared a name

• Fix.wld and .ase each mean two unrelated things. A .wld is a Terraria world or a map-positioning text file. An .ase is an Aseprite sprite or an Adobe colour palette. Each pair is told apart by contents now.

Under the bonnet

• Maintenance: the picture decoder behind DDS textures moved somewhere the other texture formats could share it. That is most of why three arrived at once.
• Credit where it is due: the open-source Convert to it! showed what could be decoded in a browser at all, and is now in the credits. These notes cover seven updates.

8.20 - 8.22

Hidden Pictures

19 August 2026

• A surprising number of files carry a picture of themselves that nothing ever shows you. Analyser now finds each one and shows it, full size and saveable.

Pictures hidden inside files

• NewAn AutoCAD drawing shows the picture AutoCAD saved of it. Every DWG and DWT keeps a snapshot of how it last looked, pulled out before the drawing is read. In a damaged file, that picture is all there is.
• NewContact cards give up their photos. The picture and company logo inside a .vcf come out at full size, shown and saveable. A card that merely links to one says so.
• New3D print packages show the plate, not just the mesh. A 3MF thumbnail, the build-plate renders Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer add, and any texture maps sit beside the 3D viewer, and lead it when there is no mesh.
• NewA Blender scene shows its thumbnail. A .blend saved with previews on stores a small render of the scene. A compressed .blend now says so, rather than showing no version and no picture.
• NewEPS artwork shows the preview it was given. An EPS carries a low-resolution preview for the layout program that will place it. The plain-text kind is drawn on the spot, and the other waits behind a button.

Video

• FixAn AVI no longer looks like it is analysing for ever. The Decoding video… bar was never taken down, so a large file looked busy with its finished analysis on screen below. It clears on every route through now.
• FixThat loading bar stays inside its box. In the narrow column beside a video it hung past the panel edge. It wraps onto a second line now.

Under the bonnet

• Maintenance: the previous update’s notes, and a written map of how a file format is added to the app, kept beside the code rather than in one person’s head.

8.16 - 8.19

No Loose Ends

14 August 2026

• Analysing a picture taken out of a PDF now leaves you a way back to the PDF. Everything else was invisible work: all 176 files the app is built from are checked far more strictly before they ship.

What you can see

• FixA Back bar when you analyse an image from a PDF. Pressing Analyse under an embedded picture used to leave no way back. It now leaves the same breadcrumb you get opening a file from inside an archive.

The strictness pass

• Nothing else you can see, and that was the whole point. Analyser has no automated tests, so the only safe way to make a change this wide was to prove the shipped code came out identical. It did.
• FixA document that fails to read one of its inner parts now still shows the rest. Word, OpenDocument and e-book files are small archives of pieces, and one piece that would not decode used to throw away everything already read. It is simply skipped now.
• The checks are stricter about a value that may be missing. Every place the app assumed a lookup had succeeded now says so, so a future change that breaks it fails on the spot.
• Maintenance: one long-dead field in the AI separation tool, sending nothing since the day it was written, is now recorded as such.

8.12 - 8.15

Room to Breathe

13 August 2026

• The AI sound tools now fit on an iPhone. Separating a track used to run the tab out of memory, and it now uses a fraction of that.

Separation on a phone

• FixThe tab no longer runs out of memory partway through. The model starts before the song is copied for it, and the copy is released once the engine has taken it. The frequency workspace is reused rather than rebuilt for every window.
• FasterA smaller AI engine on iPhone and iPad. Safari cannot use the graphics-card path at all, so it no longer downloads the version built for it. That is roughly 10 MB instead of 21 MB before anything can start.
• FixDownloading a separated vocal or instrumental saves the file. On iPhone the button often opened a preview or did nothing. The download now hangs off your own tap and arrives as a file.
• FixThe first pass says what it is doing. It reads Starting first separation pass… rather than sitting on a figure it cannot know, and gives up after two minutes instead of five.
• FasterThe blend and the per-part spectrograms are drawn without another full-length copy of the track, working the mix out slice by slice. That is what lets the results view survive on a phone.
• A separation that crashes on an Apple device is no longer retried straight away: the retry exists for a graphics-card fault those devices cannot have.

Offline and addresses

• The Complete offline download is now about 96 MB, up from 85 MB. It carries both AI engines, the graphics-card one and the plain one, so separation still works offline in any browser.
• lab.valjdakosta.com now forwards to analyser.valjdakosta.com, keeping whatever page you asked for. It is a temporary forward on purpose, so it can be undone, and a copy installed from the old address keeps working.

Under the bonnet

• The app was rewritten in a stricter language. Nothing about the site changed, and that was the requirement. The shipped code was compared against the old to prove it came out the same.
• Maintenance: the previous update’s notes and its entry in the tl;dr summary.

8.09 - 8.11

Steady Hands

30 July 2026

• A reliability pass over the on-device AI sound tools. They recover from a stuck graphics card, keep a downloaded model, and need far less memory on a phone.

The separation panel

• FixSeparating a second time. With a result on screen, pressing Separation opens a fresh prompt and runs again on the original track. Change your mind and the finished result is still there, where before it was wiped.
• The model choices fold away once a separation is ready, leaving the vocal and instrumental blend the whole panel.
• FixProgress says which stage it is at: downloading the model, saving it for offline use, starting the AI engine, then separating. The bar now fills in step with the percentage beside it.
• Lite is chosen for you on more devices - any touch device, or one reporting 4 GB of memory or less.

When things go wrong

• FixA stalled graphics card no longer ends the run. If the fast path hangs, the job is tried once more on the compatible engine. If the card cannot start at all, the job carries on without it.
• FixA job that stops responding is reported. Both tools now watch for silence and fail with a message, instead of leaving a progress bar sitting at the same place indefinitely.
• FixAI denoise runs where it gives correct results. On the graphics-card path the network produced wrong output, so denoise now deliberately uses the compatible engine on every browser.
• FixA truncated or damaged model download is caught. Model files are checked against their exact expected size, both as they arrive and when read back from storage. A bad copy is discarded and fetched again.
• FixThe download prompt tells the truth. Whether a model is already saved is checked against storage itself, so it can no longer offer to fetch something you have or skip something you do not.

On a phone

• FasterSeparation needs much less memory. A separated part is turned into a sound file only when you press its Play or Download, rather than every part being built the instant the separation finished.
• FixThe vocal and instrumental blend slider can be dragged on iPhone. Your finger is followed across the whole slider, instead of the value jumping to where you tapped. The slider wears the site’s thin marker again.
• FixLeaving the page or dropping another file mid-run shuts the AI work down cleanly, rather than leaving it painting in the background.

Downloads and storage

• FixA downloaded model stays downloaded. It used to be dropped after a day, costing another 85 MB the next time you asked for a separation. It is kept for good now, somewhere that survives site updates.
• FasterA model is no longer stored twice. The browser was keeping a second copy alongside the app’s own, doubling the space a separation cost you.
• The shared AI engine is kept on its own, so it survives a site update even if you have not taken the Complete offline download.
• Leftover model files from an experiment that never shipped are cleared out of offline storage, handing the space back.
• Maintenance: an unfinished four-way split (vocals, drums, bass and everything else) that was never switched on has been removed for good, along with its model files.

8.08

One at a Time

27 July 2026

• The small silent video preview beside the file details and the main player no longer run at once - starting either one pauses the other.
• FixThat preview also stays out of the shared volume control, so it cannot be un-muted by accident and echo the main player.

8.07

New Address

26 July 2026

• Analyser has moved to analyser.valjdakosta.com. The old address still works and serves exactly the same site, so nothing you have saved stops working.

The move

• NewThe site now lives at analyser.valjdakosta.com - a name that says what it actually is. Every link, share and page on the site points there from now on.
• The old lab.valjdakosta.com address keeps working and shows the same pages, so old bookmarks and an installed copy carry on as before. Use whichever you like, though the new one is the one to keep.
• Sharing the site, exporting an analysis and the watermark on a saved G-code clip all carry the new address now.
• Nothing else changed. The app itself is exactly as it was, still doing every bit of the work on your own device, with nothing uploaded.

8.06

True Colours

25 July 2026

• Video now reports what is genuinely inside it: codec profile and level, bit depth, colour and HDR detail, and every track in an MKV. All of it is read from the picture data, not from the file’s own summary.

Video

• NewCodec detail read from the video itself - profile, tier and level, bit depth, and chroma subsampling. These are read out of the picture data, so they appear even when the file’s own summary leaves them out or gets them wrong.
• NewColour and HDR. Colour primaries, transfer, matrix and range, the HDR type with its MaxCLL and MaxFALL brightness figures, and Dolby Vision profile and level where the file carries them.
• NewEvery track in an MKV or WebM is listed - kind, codec, channel count, language, name, and whether it is the default one. Those files routinely hold several soundtracks and subtitle tracks.
• NewThe encoder’s own average and peak bitrate, where the file records them, shown separately from the rough file-size-over-length figure.
• FixA raw video stream reads its true frame rate. A bare .h264 or .h265 file has no container to ask, and was assumed to run at 25 frames per second. The rate is read from the stream itself now.
• FixHEVC inside an MKV goes straight to the readout and the offer to convert, instead of attempting a playback that no browser can manage.
• The consistency check in Advanced now covers HEVC as well as H.264.

8.05

Dust Off

25 July 2026

• Maintenance: styles and code left behind by features that have since changed were removed across the site. Nothing looks or behaves differently, and the download is a little smaller.

8.02 - 8.04

Belt and Braces

25 July 2026

• A safety and smoothness pass: the cleaner that handles markup out of a dropped file got stricter, searching and very large files stopped stuttering, and a handful of small annoyances went away.

Safety

• FixAnimation tricks are stripped from previews. An email or e-book chapter can carry an animation that rewrites a safe-looking link into a script after the page has checked it. Every preview now removes those.
• FixNothing in a preview reaches out to the internet. A picture or shape reference inside one of those previews can no longer quietly fetch a remote file - only links you can actually click stay live, and a file’s own internal references keep working.
• FixExported reports escape every embedded picture address, so nothing carried in by the analysed file can slip out of place in the report or its print preview.

Speed

• FasterFormat search keeps up with fast typing. It now waits for a short pause instead of re-checking every supported type on each keystroke.
• FasterA very large file no longer freezes the page working out its fingerprints. MD5 and CRC-32 have no hardware acceleration, so past 512 MB they are skipped and say so in their own row. The SHA fingerprints still compute as normal.
• FasterSorting a folder or archive that holds tens of thousands of entries in one place.

Elsewhere

• FixAnalysing several colour LUTs in a row no longer holds on to every earlier file’s preview frames. The full-size viewer is shared now instead of being rebuilt for each one.
• FixThe Sound button in the navigation bar re-measures when you resize the window, instead of keeping a width from whatever size the page opened at.
• FixSwitching to another tab mid-analysis and coming back no longer jumps you down to results you had already cancelled.
• FixA very complex SVG that is too large to display safely now says exactly that, instead of claiming the file is invalid.
• Tidied: the archive Timing & integrity card explains its CRC check in the [?] rather than above the button. The amplitude histogram is gone from sound and video analysis.

8.01

Gotta Go Fast 2: Tokyo Drift

24 July 2026

• Second speed pass: a long song is usable about 9× quicker. Heavy analysis runs one pass at a time off the main thread, so the page never freezes.

Sound

• NewLarge compressed audio decodes on demand. A long AAC no longer blocks the page while it unpacks. Header, tags, cover art and playback show at once, and the heavier readouts sit behind a Decode and analyse button.
• NewAAC is read without decoding. Profile, sample rate and channel count come from the first frame. Duration and bitrate are estimated across the whole file, so a quiet intro no longer skews them.
• SmootherWhole-file passes stay off the critical path. Waveform reduction, spectrogram STFT and the forensic DSP on buffers too large to offload to the worker now yield mid-loop and run sequentially, so input, scroll and playback stay live throughout.
• FixDTMF: every digit recovered. A broken high-group argmax only ever matched the 1336 Hz column (digits 2, 5, 8, 0) and dropped the rest - a 10-digit number could decode as two. All digits resolve now.
• FixDTMF: fewer false positives. Twist tolerance tightened 12→8 dB and minimum tone hold 40→60 ms, so music transients no longer register as digits.
• FixShow tones keypad now reveals on click. A class display:grid was overriding the [hidden] attribute, leaving the grid always visible and the button a no-op.
• FixRaw AAC transport uses the estimated duration instead of the browser’s bogus .duration for index-less ADTS.
• FixSpectrogram recompute is cancellable: changing FFT size, window or mode mid-render aborts the superseded STFT instead of painting it over the current one.

Photos

• NewPhoto RGB histogram and dominant colours moved to the top, directly under File info.
• FixPhoto fingerprints (pHash, SHA-256) restored to their own top-level card, out of the collapsed Advanced panel.

Elsewhere

• FixInstalled PWA: an in-page hash jump left an untagged history entry that tripped the back-guard into an “Are you sure you want to exit?” prompt. Now tagged in place.
• Tidied: on mobile, Isolate and Separation share one row, and the EQ presets wrap compactly instead of stretching to fill it.

7.01 - 7.02

Bottom Line

22 July 2026

• The deep Advanced analysis is tidied into one section at the bottom of every photo, video and sound. The loudness graph plays now, and comparing two files reads far more clearly.

Photos

• NewThe Advanced section reads as a single block, each forensic panel a sub-heading rather than its own card, and sits below everything else. The most useful panel stays open and the rest start folded.
• NewThe Privacy report moves up into the main metadata, so GPS, camera serial, owner, copyright and unique IDs sit in plain sight.
• FixCopyright and description text that arrives in an unusual shape no longer shows as [object Object].

Sound

• NewThe loudness graph (EBU R128, with true peak) is now playable like the waveform - a playhead tracks the sound and you can click or drag anywhere on it to seek, with its own transport below.

Compare

• NewThe compare view lays two files side by side far more clearly - each section keeps its sub-headings with its table, and spectrograms, waveforms and histograms show as whole panels side by side.
• NewShow differences now fades matching side-by-side panels too, not just matching table rows.
• FixA [?] help button stays at the top of its card instead of being clipped inside a scrolling column, and cover-art analysis no longer vanishes.

Elsewhere

• FixA [?] pop-up now follows its button when the page scrolls, instead of drifting away.
• Maintenance: the changelog is split - recent updates stay here and load quickly, with the full older history moved to a separate archive page and a tighter tl;dr summary.

6.38 - 6.52

Full Frame

21 July 2026

• Long animated GIFs and WebPs play in full with device-scaled memory, plus a DJI recorder’s waveform, a sharp-cornered visual pass and document-preview fixes.
• NewLong animations play in full. A big animated GIF or WebP decodes each frame on scrub and keeps a rolling window in memory, so any length steps forwards or back.
• NewDJI waveform. A .pkf overview from a DJI Mic, Osmo or drone draws its waveform, channel count and estimated length. Adobe Audition .pkf peak caches are recognised separately.
• NewThe size limit for a very large archive, disk image or big file scales with device memory.
• FixOn the See full document view, dark-mode text stays visible and the open button sits above the excerpt.
• Maintenance: every rounded corner squared off, SPICE readouts moved to monospace, and shared code consolidated across provenance, the PCB viewer, photo salvage and size limits.

6.36 - 6.37

Disk Dive

20 July 2026

• Open a raw disk image like a folder, whether it came from an SD card, a USB stick or a floppy. Browse every file, and rescue deleted photos.

The disk browser

• NewOpen a disk image like a folder. A raw image (.img, .ima, .dsk) mounts its FAT12/16/32 filesystem into a browsable tree and treemap. VHD/VHDX, VMDK, QCOW2, VDI and ISO are identified with their partition table.
• NewRescue deleted photos. A raw-sector scan carves every picture, including deleted and orphaned ones, into a gallery you step through and save.
• NewRebuild a headerless JPEG. Pick a healthy photo from the same camera and Analyser borrows its header so a JPEG with only raw data left decodes again.
• NewAndroid app bundles. XAPK, APKM and APKS bundles open as browsable archives, reading app name, package, version, permissions and the base/split APKs.
• FixThe bundled OBJ 3D sample carries its colours, previewing with its red lettering instead of grey.

Deeper photo recovery

• NewSee the readable part of a damaged photo. A cut-short or partly overwritten photo decodes whatever is intact, usually the top, with the rest left grey.
• NewRecover a photo from its thumbnail. When the full-size image is overwritten but the header preview survives, Analyser falls back to that thumbnail.
• NewScan on demand. The raw-sector scan waits for a Scan for images button, then shows carved pictures with per-photo dates, hover Analyse/Download and newest/oldest/largest sorting.
• FixPhotos briefly mis-read as empty during a busy scan now show, and a photo scattered in pieces is reassembled.

6.32 - 6.35

Watertight

16 July 2026

• NewMesh integrity check for STL, OBJ, 3MF, STEP, glTF and FBX - watertight, non-manifold edges, holes, degenerate and flipped faces.

6.21 - 6.31

Provenance

14 July 2026

• NewContent Credentials. Unpacks an image’s C2PA record - signing tool, edits, source images, AI involvement and certificate.
• NewAI-generated image check. Surfaces generator names, the “digital source type” marker and hidden Stable Diffusion, ComfyUI and Midjourney parameter blocks.
• NewStrip hidden metadata from a JPEG, PNG or WebP. EXIF, XMP, IPTC, comments and GPS come out without touching the picture.
• NewDates timeline lines up every timestamp a file carries and flags impossible orderings.
• NewBrowsable, searchable docs site with live interactive examples, plus a reorganised footer.

6.19 - 6.20

Workbench

13 July 2026

• NewLive data grid under every CSV, Excel and OpenDocument sheet - sort, filter, search and reorder columns.
• NewSplit a column on a chosen delimiter, with undo.
• NewGroup and summarise by any column with count, sum, average, min, max or median.
• NewBuild a chart - line, bar, scatter, histogram, pie, area, box plot or heatmap.
• NewExport chart as PNG, stats as JSON or filtered rows as CSV.
• NewMore date formats - quarter/month notation and dotted, dashed or slashed dates, with a D/M/Y toggle.

6.18

Left Off

12 July 2026, 04:15

• NewCome home to the same file - leave the home page and return to find its player and results intact.

6.17

Fine Cut

12 July 2026, 02:57

• NewFine-tune a waveform selection - drag either edge, drag the middle, or type exact start and end times.
• NewTransport under the waveform to play, pause and scrub in place.
• NewChannel picking now solos in playback, not just the spectrogram and waveform.
• NewStereo analysis tracks the Vocals - Instrumental blend live.
• FixReset zoom moved to its own row so it stays reachable.

6.14 - 6.16

Homecoming

11 July 2026

• Analyser is a pure website again - the desktop and mobile app experiment is retired and stripped from the code.
• Repository gains a contributing guide, security policy, code of conduct and issue templates.

6.12 - 6.13

Keyring

11 July 2026, 21:30

• NewRead inside a Java KeyStore - lists every entry and decodes each certificate, including PKCS#12 keystores named .jks.
• FixClear storage spares anything saved for offline use.

Desktop and mobile apps

• FasterSmaller apps that fetch the AI vocal-separation model and OCR language packs on demand.
• FixOCR in other languages now works in the apps, not only the website.

6.08 - 6.11

Even Keel

11 July 2026, 18:03

• FixSeparate vocals (AI) works on iPhone and Safari via a stable path, keeping the graphics-card path on Chrome and Edge.
• FixSeparation controls stack full-width on narrow screens.
• FixClearing storage keeps the AI model, and the Cached badge no longer misreads it.
• FixGrid backdrop stays within the content column on wide screens.
• Recorded G-code clips default to Standard quality at 30fps, with High and Max a tap away.

Desktop app

• Desktop app joins the analysed total, sending only extension and supported/not.

6.06 - 6.07

Guard Rails

10 July 2026, 23:53

• FixSturdier against broken or hostile files - readers stop cleanly instead of freezing the tab.
• FixPreviews stay inert - documents, e-mail, presentations, maps, diagrams and vectors are strictly sanitised.
• FixDropping several files analyses the first cleanly instead of stacking them.
• FixA viewer that trips shows a plain error with the fingerprint still available.
• FixVery large files bow out past a sensible size rather than crashing the tab.
• FixOffline cache and analysed count survive updates and reloads, and a fresh version is never shadowed by an old copy.
• FixPreviews and players release memory once off screen.
• Asteroids leaderboard marked unverified - scores are player-submitted.

Desktop app

• FixDesktop app reads only the exact file dropped, never another by path.

5.16 - 5.21

Side by Side

10 July 2026, 01:41

Forensic Sweep

27 June 2026, 18:30

• Analyser sharpens into a forensic toolkit: it maps where a file turns random, pulls hidden files back out, spots edited photos and tampered dates, traces PDF scripts, plays Lottie, opens FBX, and signs off reports so anyone can verify them.
• NewAn unknown file gets a colour strip charting how random each part is, marking compressed, encrypted or packed regions and the seams between them.
• NewData tacked on after a file's end can be extracted or opened in place, so an archive hidden behind a JPEG opens straight away.

• FixAn .html preview lays out at real browser width and scales to fit, with a Desktop / Mobile switch.
• FixSwitching a render-quality option in the G-code viewer no longer resets dim other tools or the build-plate view.
• The Samples button is highlighted and never triggers the share prompt, and the stats graph opens cumulative and stays readable on phones.

4.17

Split Personality

24 June 2026, 05:18

• Shared extensions get a guide page per meaning, the folder scanner judges files by contents, more developer and phone formats are recognised, and sharpness scoring is fairer.
• NewExtensions shared by unrelated formats (.pkg, .key, .map) now carry a separate card per meaning, 23 covered.
• NewThe folder scanner identifies each file by its contents, so misnamed or extensionless readable files still count as openable.
