Updates — every change to the index, dated

Capability moves, price moves and corrections, newest first. Every entry names what changed, what it now says, and the date it changed — including corrections to our own errors.

What lands here next. Every cell in this index carries a check date and no fact is allowed to sit for more than 90 days without being re-read at its source — the rule is set out on the methodology page. When a re-check moves a cell, the move is published here with the vendor’s own source link. When a re-check moves nothing, only the date changes and nothing is published, because “nothing changed” is not news.

How entries marked “monitored change” get here

A scheduled job reads each platform’s own changelog, release notes or product-update feed once a week, compares a hash of the text against the previous copy, and drafts an entry only where the text actually moved. Every draft is discarded unless it cites a page fetched in that same run, dates the observation to the day it was read, and states what the page says rather than what we think of the vendor. A quiet week publishes nothing.

Those entries record a reading. They do not move a cell in the capability matrix — cells move only when a person re-reads the source, which is the rule on the methodology page. Once a month the readings are collected into an index post that also names every monitored platform which shipped nothing, because that half is the part a vendor will never publish about itself.

How entries marked “weekly briefing” get here

A briefing answers a comparison question rather than reporting a change. It is written from rows already recorded in this index, each one carrying the page it came from and the date a person checked it, and every one of those pages is re-read while the briefing is being written. A recorded fact whose source cannot be read that day is left out and named as unread rather than repeated from our notes.

Briefings carry no new readings and move no cell in the capability matrix. Where the recorded evidence does not settle a question, the briefing says so instead of filling the gap.
