Current Version

v18 (with ongoing enhancements through March 2026) - Includes:

System Status: HIBERNATED (since March 9, 2026) - Core daemons only, pages redirect to /hibernation, Azure resources downscaled. See docs/HIBERNATION_RUNBOOK.md for exit procedure.

  • GDP Algorithm Redesign (Phases 1-4 complete) - CASA-FPFS + RBD hybrid slot assignment, compression, reoptimization, reversal metrics, anti-gaming flags
  • vATCSCC Playbook - Pre-coordinated route play catalog with CRUD, route grouping/coloring, consolidation, compaction, auto-filters, FIR pattern expansion, and shareable links
  • Canadian FIR Sectors - 377 sector boundaries across 7 Canadian FIRs (CZYZ, CZWG, CZEG, CZUL, CZVR, CZQM, CZQX)
  • FIR Pattern Expansion - International ICAO prefix matching, FIR-to-ARTCC code expansion, pseudo-fix audit
  • Route Analysis Tools - Route consolidation, compaction, auto-filters for playbook management
  • ARTCC Code Normalization - US ICAO codes (KZAB→ZAB, PAZA→ZAN) normalized sitewide
  • Splits Enhancements - Scheduled splits layer with low/high/superhigh strata filtering, sector map on plan pages
  • Multi-Organization Support - Org-scoped TMI/JATOC authorization, multi-org Discord posting, CANOC/ECFMP integration
  • Traffic Management Review (TMR) - Guided NTMO-style post-event review reports
  • NOD TMI Enhancements - Rich TMI sidebar cards, map status layer, facility flow configs, FEA integration
  • Internationalization (i18n) - 7,276 translation keys across 4 locales (en-US, fr-CA, en-CA, en-EU), 30 PHP pages, 45 JS modules
  • PERTI_MYSQL_ONLY Optimization - ~98 endpoints skip Azure SQL connections (~500-1000ms faster)
