8 releases
  1. Video PipelineFeature

    Video pipeline: pose smoothing + monocular depth

    Two new stages: pose_smoothing (One-Euro filter + median bone-length + heel foot-lock, default-on) and depth (Depth Anything V2 with GPU auto-detect, default-off). The depth stage picks base on CUDA/MPS and small on CPU automatically.

  2. WebFix

    Per-key API call counter on the dashboard

    Every API key now shows its own live "calls today" figure on your dashboard. Previously the count stayed at zero regardless of usage; now it updates on the first request and rolls over daily.

  3. Gateway APIFix

    Password reset works for mixed-case emails

    A user who signed up as Alice@example.com and requested a reset as alice@example.com used to be told the link was invalid. Now the flow is fully case-insensitive end to end. Also: the Open Africa catalog search returns a clean empty page instead of erroring out when the upstream is rate-limited.

  4. Video PipelineSecurity

    Enterprise-gated video compute

  5. Video PipelineFeature

    Face-redacted MP4 output

    The redaction stage now composites a browser-playable MP4 with face bboxes blurred and serves it at /videos/{id}/redacted.mp4. Downstream consumers can decide their own redaction policy from the same face parquet.

    SAM 2.1 mask propagation on video pipeline

  7. Gateway APIFeature

    Freshness SLOs per source

    Expected publication lag baked in per source (WB WDI 2y, DHS 5y, IMF WEO 0y, etc.). Every indicator classified fresh / aging / stale / critical with human-readable status. Downgrade alerts fire when a source slips.

  8. Gateway APIFeature

    Webhook adapters for PagerDuty, Slack, Teams

    Outgoing webhooks now auto-detect the target and format the payload accordingly. Slack and Teams receive rich Block Kit / MessageCard, PagerDuty gets the events-v2 shape. Generic HMAC-signed payload stays for everyone else.
