Open Chronology Files

Changes since v0.5.0.

Early release. In SemVer terms, anything may change before 1.0, including file formats, the HTTP API and settings, though changes to .ochx and .och files will come with conversions.

New

• A new logo (#251, [#252]): the original OpenChronology clock, a "C" whose last hours are set apart, in the site's green and gold. It's in the site's and editor's headers and is the browser tab icon (SVG and .ico). It's also the home-screen icon on iPhone and iPad and the web app icon on Android (including a maskable icon), and the desktop app's icon on Windows, macOS and Linux. scripts/icons.mjs draws every size from logo/.
• A Support link (#249, [#250]): with SUPPORT_URL set to an https:// address, a platform shows ♥ Support in its header and Support this site in its footer. Unset, neither appears.
• A not-found page (#255, [#256]): an address with nothing the visitor may see now says so, and offers a guest to sign in and come back. It stays a 404 for a private timeline, so its address doesn't reveal that it exists.

Fixed

• A timeline's own address behind HTTPS (#255, [#256]): behind a reverse proxy that sends X-Forwarded-Proto: https, as Caddy does, opening a timeline at /<owner>/<slug> answered 500.
• The timeline is centered (#253, [#254]): the axis now sits in the middle of the stage at any height, notably in full screen, where it used to sit high and couldn't be dragged to the middle. Center axis centers it, a comparison centers its rows, and entering full screen keeps the timeline's place.
• The whole description (#257, [#258]): a timeline's description under its title now shows in full instead of scrolling inside one line.
