v1.17.9
2026-06-14
latest
- New — Your public IP shown on page load.
A bar below the input detects and displays your public IP address, city, country and ISP
on arrival. Clicking the IP chip triggers a full analysis instantly.
v1.17.8
2026-06-13
- Changed — Default theme is now Light.
First-time visitors (and anyone without a saved preference) now open the site in Light mode
instead of following the operating system colour scheme. Previously saved theme choices are unaffected.
v1.17.7
2026-06-13
- Changed — Dim mode revised to Ember (warm amber).
The mid-grey purple palette has been replaced with a dark amber / burnt-brown theme:
deep amber background, warm cream text, brown-tinted panels and grid lines.
Hot-pink accents remain unchanged — they now contrast against warm amber rather than cool grey.
v1.17.6
2026-06-12
- Docs — Patch notes split into pages; release codenames added.
Older releases (v1.0–v1.13, Cuiviénen through Minas Tirith) moved to a dedicated
archive page. Every minor-version release group now carries
a Lord of the Rings / Silmarillion codename shown as a visual divider between
groups. Future releases will also carry a codename.
v1.17.5
2026-06-12
- Docs — FAQ overhaul.
Rewrote the “What is Palantiri?” entry to list all feature areas. Expanded
“Where does data come from?” to separate client-side from server-side lookups.
Added entries for: search history navigation (arrow keys), IP reputation / DNSBL
(Spamhaus ZEN, SpamCop, Barracuda), TLS certificate checking, email authentication
(SPF / DMARC / DKIM), DNS propagation, and domain reputation / DNSBL (Spamhaus DBL,
SURBL, URIBL). Fixed ambiguous “smaller prefix” wording in the
subnet planner section.
v1.17.4
2026-06-12
- Docs — FAQ: subnet planner section added.
New Subnet planner category in the FAQ covers: what the planner is, how to open it,
adding and removing subnets, automatic alignment, the visual SVG bar, and the free-space
summary. TOC updated with a direct link.
v1.17.3
2026-06-12
- Changed — Subnet planner bar replaced with inline SVG.
Dropped the CSS flex bar in favour of an inline
<svg> with exact
user-space coordinates: allocated blocks are solid pink rectangles, free space
uses a diagonal stripe pattern. Name and prefix label appear inside each segment
when it is wide enough; hover tooltip shows range and usable host count. The SVG
approach guarantees pixel-perfect edge-to-edge fill with no rounding artefacts.
v1.17.2
2026-06-10
- Fixed — Subnet planner bar now fills edge-to-edge.
Changed bar segment rendering from proportional
flex:N to exact percentage
flex-basis (flex:0 0 X%) for all-but-last segments, with the final segment
using flex:1 to absorb any floating-point rounding and guarantee the bar
always reaches the right edge. Also removed the 3 px minimum width that was
preventing tiny free slices from rendering at their true proportional size.
v1.17.1
2026-06-12
- Changed — Subnet planner bar improved.
Removed the gap between segments so a fully-allocated block now renders as a
continuous solid bar with no breaks. A 2 px dark separator between adjacent
segments replaces the old gap. Free (unallocated) space now uses a diagonal
stripe pattern instead of a flat panel colour, making it immediately readable
as “available space”. Bar height increased from 30 px to
36 px for better visual weight.
v1.17.0
2026-06-12
- Added — Subnet planner.
Type any IPv4 CIDR followed by
plan (e.g. 10.0.0.0/22 plan)
to open an interactive subnet allocator. Add child subnets by choosing a prefix
length and optional name; the tool places each allocation at the first correctly
aligned free address and shows a live colour-coded bar of the parent block divided
into allocated (pink) and free (dim) segments. Each entry shows network address,
host range, usable host count and broadcast. Free space is listed with the exact
CIDR blocks available. Remove any allocation to reclaim the space. Entirely
client-side — no network calls.

v1.16.0
2026-06-11
- Added — Domain reputation / blocklist check.
Domain lookups now include a Reputation / blocklists section that checks the
domain against three DNS-based blocklists — Spamhaus DBL (spam, phishing,
malware, botnet C&C, abused-legit categories), SURBL (phishing, malware,
spam), and URIBL (black / grey / red). Results are colour-coded with a plain-English
reason for each listing, identical in style to the IP reputation section. All queries run
client-side via DNS-over-HTTPS; no new third-party endpoints are involved.

v1.15.3
2026-06-11
- Changed — Privacy statement updated.
The index-page legal text and FAQ “Does it store anything I type?” answer
now accurately reflect the server-side RDAP cache introduced in v1.15.1: queries may be
briefly held in server memory (anonymous, no attribution, cleared on restart) and standard
web-server access logs apply. The previous absolute “nothing stored” wording
was technically inaccurate.
v1.15.2
2026-06-11
- Added — Arrow-key history navigation.
Press ↑ / ↓ in the search field to step through previous
lookups, identical to shell history. The current input is saved as a draft so pressing
↓ past the end of history restores what you were typing.
Esc closes the dropdown and reverts to the draft. Works alongside the existing
click-to-select history dropdown.
v1.15.1
2026-06-11
- Changed — Server-side RDAP/WHOIS cache.
The backend API now caches successful RDAP responses in memory — IP WHOIS results
for 1 hour, domain RDAP results for 15 minutes. Repeated lookups of the same
address or domain skip the external round-trip entirely, making responses near-instant
on cache hits. Cache is thread-safe and resets on service restart.
v1.15.0
2026-06-11
- Added — IP reputation / blocklist check.
Public IP lookups now include a Reputation / blocklists section that checks the
address against three major DNS blocklists — Spamhaus ZEN (SBL + XBL + PBL),
SpamCop, and Barracuda — entirely client-side via DNS-over-HTTPS.
Results are colour-coded: green = clean, amber = policy block (dynamic
IP, not a spam flag), red = actively listed, with a plain-English reason for
each listing. Works for both IPv4 and IPv6.

v1.14.2
2026-06-10
- Changed — Dark mode made darker. Now that Dim mode
occupies the middle ground, dark mode steps down further: background
#1a1a21 →
#0f0f16, panels #23232c → #171720. The grid and
pink-tint surfaces scale proportionally. Applied across all pages.
v1.14.1
2026-06-10
- Changed — Grey theme revised to “Dim”.
Replaced the flat mid-grey palette with a darker, purple-family dim mode (
#252530 background)
— visibly lighter than dark but still dark-feeling, with the same pink accents. The button label
in dark mode now reads ◐ Dim. Applied across all pages (index, FAQ, patch notes).
v1.14.0
2026-06-10
- Added — Grey theme. A third colour scheme sits between
dark and light — medium-grey background with the same pink accents. The theme button now cycles
through all three modes: Dark → Grey → Light → Dark. The selection is saved in
localStorage as before.
