Changelog

New address and a steadier player page

• OSRS Tracker has its own address now: osrs-tracker.net. Old links and bookmarks to osrs-tracker.freekmencke.com keep working and take you to the same page on the new address. The first time you arrive that way, your favourite and recent players and items, light or dark mode, tracking offset and news catch-up day come along, so nothing needs setting up again. The cookie question shows once more, as your choice there belongs to each address. Link previews show the new address too.
• On phones, a player’s combat level now always sits on its own line under their name. It used to move there a moment after the page opened on a slow connection, once the site’s font arrived, pushing the rest of the page down.

Behind the scenes

• The A–Z item list’s address without a letter now tells search engines that it moved to the “A” page for good.

• An item’s volume card, now called “Trade volume”, has its own range beside the table switch, like the price chart: the last day per hour, the last week or month per day (UTC), or the last year per month, instead of only the last 7 days. Its numbers above the bars still cover today and the past week. Clicking an entry of the price chart’s legend hides or shows that line, and its column in the table, to look at one price on its own; one line always stays.

Keyboard and screen readers

• Moving through a page with the Tab key no longer leaves the focused link or button hidden under the menu bar at the top (on a tablet or computer), or behind the cookie question at the bottom while it’s showing: the page now scrolls it into view between them, and the footer links at the very end can scroll clear of the question too.
• The first press of Tab on any page now shows a “Skip to content” link, which jumps past the menu bar to the page’s heading. On phones the light and dark mode button, beside the logo, now comes right after it in the Tab order instead of after the tabs below, and the Home tab’s focus outline no longer touches the screen’s edge. Each page now has one main region instead of two nested ones, so screen readers’ landmark lists go straight to the content, and voice control can follow the “0–9” key on the Browse items pages by saying what it shows.
• The small ⓘ icons with an explanation, such as GE tax on an item’s page, can now be reached with the Tab key and open their explanation on focus, and screen readers read it. So can the margin, profit and per-limit values in the price tables, which show how they add up, and the clock on an old price. Screen readers now also hear how old an old price is, how long ago a player in a list was last tracked, and what each table column means.
• Screen readers now say what happened after a search, a filter or “Show older posts”: how many items match, that none do, or that something didn’t load, in the item search, the price tables and the news. They also hear the notice when the hiscores stop responding on a player’s page. The item search no longer tells screen readers a list is open when it only shows “No items match”.
• In the item search’s results, the item Enter opens now has a clear green outline, so you can see where the arrow keys are. The boxes where you type a player or item name, including the price tables’ filter, no longer underline names as spelling mistakes, and in the search boxes a phone’s keyboard labels its Enter key “Search”.
• Pressing “Try again” after something didn’t load now keeps your place for the keyboard: focus moves to the heading of the card that reloads, or back to the search box, instead of jumping to the top of the page. On the news page, “Show older posts” moves focus to the first older post it adds, and clearing the day or the category moves it to the control you’d use next. When the server fails rather than your connection, the message now says so, instead of asking you to check your connection.
• Links that open another site in a new tab, the news posts on Home and the news page and GitHub in the footer, now tell screen readers so.

Pages

• The charts (prices, trade volume, XP, activity and players online) now appear at once instead of growing in over a second, and a change, such as switching the period, moves into place in a third of a second. When your device is set to reduce motion they don’t animate at all, and changing the setting takes effect without a reload. Escape now closes a chart’s hover details.
• Every chart now has a chart and table switch beside its period, which shows its numbers as a table in the chart’s place, newest first: an item’s prices (per hour, day or month, by the range) and daily volume, Players online’s history, and a player’s XP and activity charts (per day). Screen readers can read them too, instead of only the summary they had before. Under the price chart, the legend now says how each price moved over the range, such as “Instant buy −2.9% to 757,526 gp”, in the table view too. The price chart’s instant sell line is now violet and solid, the same colour as the sold bars of the volume chart, with violet shading under it and green shading between the two lines, so the gap between buying and selling stands out. A player’s chart card is now titled “XP”, as the line under it already says what’s shown.
• On Players online, switching the history’s range keeps the chart in place until the next one is ready, instead of flashing an empty placeholder, and a range you already opened comes back at once. The chart now starts at 0 players, so the shaded area’s height matches the count. The year and all-time charts leave out today and the first day of counting, both only partly counted, so the line no longer dips at the end; all-time now says when counting started too. The chart’s summary no longer gives a “now” figure that didn’t match the live count. The “By world location” card matches the other cards. The “Online now” dot no longer pulses when your device asks for reduced motion; otherwise it keeps pulsing for as long as the count is shown.
• On the news page, “Since you last played” now opens its calendar on a week ago (or the day you last picked) instead of today, and today can no longer be picked, as it always gave an empty list. When no posts came after the day you picked, the message now has a “Show every post” button. Screen readers no longer hear “since” twice in the button’s name, and the first posts’ pictures load straight away instead of a moment after the page.
• On a player’s page, when the history doesn’t load, the stat tiles now show the total level and “–” for the rest instead of loading forever, and the message says which parts are missing. When the hiscores don’t respond, the line under the player’s name now says so, with a “Try again” link, instead of a notice that pushed the whole page down. A quiet day so far keeps its own “Nothing gained yet today” card in the day log, the size of the one shown while it loads, so the log doesn’t jump when you scroll to it. Compare fits both days on one line on phones, and its numbers use one decimal like the rest of the page. An ⓘ beside the Skills, Bosses and Raids tabs explains the coloured rings, and “02:00 UTC” no longer breaks across two lines.
• On an item’s page, a range without trades (often the last day of a rarely traded item) now says “No trades in the last day” with a button for the next range up, instead of an empty chart; the daily volume says so too. When the price history doesn’t load, the chart’s place says so once, with one “Try again”, and the change since yesterday, the volume tile and the daily volume show “–” instead of four messages. Without prices, the profit calculator shows “–” rather than a profit of 0 gp, with a retry when they didn’t load. On phones its long numbers shrink to fit instead of being cut off or broken across lines, very large totals are exact, and a huge return on investment is shortened (“149.5B%”). The volume tile is now called “Volume” (the last 24 hours), so it isn’t mixed up with the daily volume card, which counts UTC days, and that card’s chart has a scale. Screen readers now hear the price chart’s range in words, and each day’s volume as a table.
• The High-alch profit and Margins tables now remember your filters and sort in the page’s address, so a reload, Back from an item or a shared link shows the same view. On phones, the arrow at the end of a row opens the item’s full name and the columns that don’t fit, such as the buy and sell prices, the buy limit and the daily volume. Large margins, profits and per-limit totals are shortened with one decimal throughout (“12.0K”, “195.5M”), so a column reads evenly, and per-limit gains get a “+” like the profit beside them. The column names now line up with the numbers below them.
• Boxes you type in, drop-downs and outlined buttons have a darker outline in both themes, so they stand out from the card around them. In the dark theme, the browser’s own parts, such as scrollbars and the search box’s clear button, are dark too. On an item’s page, the “Sold” bars of the daily volume are violet instead of orange, which was too faint on white, and the text beside and under the profit calculator’s total is easier to read on its green or red background.
• In the price lists, a change that rounds to 0.0% now shows in a grey pill instead of a green “+0.0%”, and an item without a change to show gets a grey “—” pill instead of nothing, so on phones every price lines up. Hovering an item name or a stat tile’s line that’s cut off shows it in full. On phones and tablets, Home’s news titles get three lines instead of being cut at two. The Browse items letter keys sit closer together on phones and wide screens, so they’re bigger and “0–9” no longer breaks across two lines on small phones. An empty “Your recent lookups” now says it’s about this device, so it isn’t mixed up with everyone’s lookups.
• This changelog now has links to each year at the top, so you no longer scroll through every day to reach last year’s changes, and each day can be linked to. Days read as “23 October 2026”, like the rest of the site, and stand out more from the headings inside them; code names get a tinted background, lists indent less on phones, and quotes are curly. Opening the changelog shows the loading bar while it’s fetched, instead of seeming to do nothing. The privacy policy and terms give their date the same way.
• The “Page not found” page now links to the player lookup and the item search, besides going back. On a player’s page, a very long name that isn’t found wraps instead of making the page scroll sideways on phones, and so does a long one-word name of a player that is found.
• The landing pages, the news page included, leave a little more room between their top band and what’s below it, the same as under the menu bar elsewhere. Long headings, such as item names and news titles, now break into lines of even length instead of leaving a single word on the last line.
• A regular account’s page, and the preview shown when you share a link to it, now show the same person icon as player lists, instead of the Overall skill icon, which made it look like a skill rather than an account type.

Behind the scenes

• The site’s styles now offer only the colours of its own light and dark themes, not Tailwind’s whole stock palette, so a new part of a page can’t pick a stock colour that ignores the theme or skips its contrast checks. Nothing on the page changes.

• Updated the SOLIX font to version 4.0.1: smoother curves in many letters and figures (the round letters, S, g, &, @, %), and in the regular weight v, w, z and 4 now match the other letters’ weight. The link preview pictures use it too, so they’re drawn again with the new letters.

• The XP tracker now shows The Fractured Archive, the raid Jagex added to the hiscores today, on the raids card and in the raids chart, with its own icon and colour.

XP tracker

• De-ironed players show their red cross on their account icon again, instead of an empty circle.

Browsing and search

• Pages no longer opt out of the browser’s back/forward cache, so Back and Forward can bring a page back at once in Firefox and Safari instead of loading it again, and Chrome keeps them there longer.
• Pages now let Google show their preview pictures large, such as an item’s price card in Discover and image results, instead of as a small thumbnail.

Accessibility

• After following a link, keyboard focus now moves to the new page’s heading, which screen readers read out, instead of staying on the link or falling back to the top of the page.
• Icons next to their own label are no longer read out a second time by screen readers, the Home page’s example player card is named by its link, the small “couldn’t load” retry buttons are easier to tap, and the “New” labels in the menus are easier to read in the light theme.

Behind the scenes

• Angular 22.2.3. Its test runner now turns off Vitest’s module cache by itself, which could run tests against stale code, so our own workaround for it is gone.
• The code checks now catch promises whose errors would go unhandled. A server that fails to shut down cleanly now logs why and exits with an error, and a failed app start is logged to the browser’s console.
• Every pull request now runs zizmor, a security check of our GitHub Actions workflows, and checkouts no longer keep their git credentials, apart from the one that pushes the deploy commit. Dependabot waits 7 days before suggesting a new action or base image, so a compromised release is usually pulled before we take it; security updates still arrive at once.
• Every pull request now checks the licences of the packages it adds or updates, and flags one that isn’t on a short list of permissive licences, so a copyleft package (AGPL in particular) can’t be added unnoticed.
• The code checks now catch accessibility mistakes in templates, and changed pages are scanned with axe against WCAG 2.2 AA (touch target size included) and walked by keyboard before they ship. A scan whose browser can’t start now says so, instead of passing for one that found problems.
• Updated the SOLIX font to version 4.0.0. It now asks Windows to smooth its letters at every size, as it has no hints of its own; its shapes, widths and spacing are unchanged, so text looks the same elsewhere.
• The local development server works again: the stricter script protection of 17 October blocked its live-reload script, which can’t carry the page’s security token. Only the development server relaxes it; the live site still runs only the scripts it put on the page.
• The XP tracker’s level and XP sums (XP left to the next level, a day’s XP gained in Compare, a skill’s level on the link preview card), the news posts and the players online history now come from our shared hiscores packages instead of copies in the site, so they can’t drift from what the API and the hiscores scraper use. Nothing changes on the page. Those packages, and the ones behind the server’s logs and metrics, now live in their own repository, osrs-tracker-packages, and the site uses their new versions from there; the logs and metrics look the same.

XP Tracker

• A player’s page has a new Milestones card, under the Skills card (after the chart on phones): when each skill reaches its next level, 99 or 200M XP if the player keeps up their pace, with the date and the days left, soonest first, each skill’s icon outlined in its colour from the chart. The pace is each skill’s average XP a day over the last 7, 30, 60 or 90 days, picked in the card apart from the chart’s period; a player tracked for fewer days is averaged over the days there are. Skills without XP in that period are left out.

Price Tracker

• Two new tables list every item at the latest prices, linked from the Price Tracker, the Trackers menu and Home’s item search, where they replace your favourites (still on the Price Tracker). High-alch profit shows what a cast of High Level Alchemy makes: the alch value minus the buy price and a nature rune, at the instant-buy price or, for a buy offer, the instant-sell price. Margins shows what a flip makes: bought at the instant-sell price and sold at the instant-buy price, after the 2% GE tax. Both show the buy limit, the profit on a full 4-hour limit and yesterday’s trades, sort by any column, and filter by name, members or free-to-play and daily volume. Rarely traded items, and items without a trade in the last hour, are left out at first, as their prices mislead; pick Any volume to see them, with a clock on old prices. Hover or tap a profit or margin to see what it’s made of.
• On an item’s page, the price’s change since yesterday now starts with a small triangle pointing up or down, as on a stock ticker, instead of a plus or minus sign, so the direction stands out at a glance under the price.

Look and feel

• Text boxes and dropdowns have a slightly stronger outline, the one the site’s buttons and search box already use, so they stand out more from the card around them: the profit calculator’s fields, the tracking offset, the News category, the calendar’s year and the new Milestones card’s period.
• Updated the SOLIX font to version 3.03: hyphens, dashes and brackets sit at the middle of lowercase letters, as in “Anti-dragon shield” and “(UTC)”, instead of floating above them. The dot between details, as in “Last checked 2 hours ago · Tracking started 3 days ago”, sits a little lower too, so it lines up with words as well as with numbers. Plus, minus and equals signs stay where they were, so changes like “−0.6%” look the same. The link preview cards for shared items, players and players online use the new version too.
• On a player’s page, skills, bosses, clue scrolls and minigames that gained XP or kills in the charted days have a clearer outline in their chart colour, so it’s easier to see which ones you can pick to compare on the chart.
• All the small line icons (arrows, search, the favourites star, the theme toggle’s sun and moon, the calendar and the rest) now come from one icon set, Lucide, instead of a mix drawn after three different sets, so they share one style. Most look nearly the same; the Retry arrows, the favourites star and the player icon change the most.

Behind the scenes

• The site now publishes a security.txt (at /.well-known/security.txt, the standard place), so anyone who finds a security problem knows where to report it.
• Pages now tell the browser that the site never uses the camera, microphone, location, payments, motion sensors or connected devices, so nothing on a page, including the analytics script, can ask for them.
• Pages only run scripts the site itself put on the page, and the scripts those load, no longer any script from an allowed address, which closes a known way around the browser’s script protection.

Behind the scenes

• The code no longer spells out the type of each value a page keeps up to date (about 220 of them), of the services a part of the page asks for, of what each part takes in and reports back (about 160), or of the data it loads, where TypeScript works it out by itself, as the project’s Angular conventions now ask, so new code and old read alike. The type stays where TypeScript would get it wrong: a value that starts empty, a choice from a fixed list, a named shape such as a row of the profit calculator, whose name and checks would otherwise be lost, or the page element a part sits in and the prices the item search loads, which TypeScript would otherwise stop checking at all. Pages look and work the same.

Price Tracker

• Hovering an item’s change in the price lists shows the difference from yesterday’s average in whole gp (“+18 gp”), as the game and the rest of the site write prices, instead of with the decimals left over from averaging (“+17.89 gp”).

Link previews

• The preview cards chat apps show for a shared item, player or players online link space their letters the way the site does, with the font’s own spacing for pairs like “Te” in “Tumeken’s”, instead of a copy of the font with that spacing taken out. The library that draws the cards was 24 releases behind, held back by a bundling problem it has since fixed.

Behind the scenes

• The project no longer ships settings for one code editor (VS Code). Formatting is checked the same way for everyone before a change is pushed and on every change, whichever editor wrote it.
• The automated checks that run on every change can only read the code: they install and run hundreds of third-party packages, so none of them can change the repository or approve a change if one of those packages turns out to be malicious. The outside tools that build and publish the site, and the one that checks the documentation’s links, are pinned to an exact version, so what runs there only changes when they’re updated on purpose, not whenever their makers publish (or someone else slips in) a new one. Dependabot proposes each new version of them as a change of its own, tested like any other, so the pins don’t fall behind on fixes.
• The scripts that decide whether a change needs a full build and test, and which version of the site to deploy, moved out of the workflow files into files of their own, and ShellCheck, which catches common shell mistakes, now checks them and the project’s other shell scripts on every change. A slip there could let a broken change through untested or deploy the wrong version, and nothing checked them before.
• Changes no longer go through GitHub’s merge queue. Each one is still tested on its own before it merges, and the site is tested again with it merged in before anything deploys. A change goes live sooner, with one test run fewer, and changes to only the documentation skip the build again.
• The six numbers at the top of an item’s page (instant buy and sell, the margin after tax, the daily volume, the buy limit and high alch) now have automated tests, so a later change can’t quietly break the margin you trade on, the GE tax taken off it or how a failed or missing price shows. They look the same as before.
• Whole numbers and their plus and minus signs are now written by one shared piece of code instead of a dozen copies, which writes a true minus (−) rather than a hyphen, and the day labels on the Compare view and an item’s volume use Angular’s date formatting instead of hand-written month names. They read the same as before.
• A new automated check, knip, finds code and packages that nothing uses any more, so what a change leaves behind gets cleaned up instead of piling up. Its first run found 19 pieces of code offered to the rest of the site that only their own file uses.
• The small line icons used in more than one place (the back and forward arrows, search, the star for favourites, the warning sign, the newspaper and a dozen others) are now drawn by one shared piece of code instead of a copy in each page, so restyling one changes it everywhere at once. They look the same as before.
• When a deploy waits for the server to pick up the new version, its log now says what the server reported on each check, and when a newer change arrived in the meantime and went live with it, which change that was. A failed deploy used to name the wrong change in that case, which sent the search for the cause to the wrong place.
• A player’s account type (“Hardcore ironman”, “Former ironman”) and their name with capitals are now written by one shared piece of code, used by both the player page’s description and the preview card of a shared link, so the two can’t disagree after a new account type or a relabel.
• Two of Angular’s checks on the page templates, which point out a check for a missing value where none can be missing, are back on. They were switched off during an upgrade in July and no page needs them off any more.
• A player’s page now has automated tests for what it decides on its own: whether the player is tracked, just started or not tracked yet, when the stats shown are the last tracked ones because the hiscores aren’t responding, what happens when starting to track them fails, how the day log merges days without gains, and how the Compare view picks, swaps and falls back on its two days. The page changes more often than any other, so this catches a change that quietly breaks one of them. Reading and writing the compared days in the address bar is now done in one place instead of two. It all works the same as before.
• Dependency updates: the web server, the changelog’s Markdown reader, the shared hiscores package and the page speed measurements are on their latest minor and patch versions, which fixes a memory leak in the speed measurements on long visits. Pages look and work the same.
• The cookie choice and the count of loading requests behind the bar at the top of the page now live in the same kind of shared state as the theme and the trackers, and the two longest page templates (the Compare view and its day picker) moved into files of their own, under a new rule for when a template gets one. The banner, the cookie choice and the loading bar work the same as before.
• The profit calculator on an item’s page and the calendar that picks days on the Compare view and the news page now have automated tests: the calculator for the GE tax, the nature rune in a high alch, the most you can pay for an item to alch and keeping the cursor in place as separators appear while you type a price; the calendar for where its weeks start and how it tints the days between the two picked ones. The test of the “3 days ago” labels no longer fails for a few days after the clocks go forward in spring. They all work the same as before.
• On a developer’s computer, the automated tests could pass on an older copy of the code they test: since the update to Vitest 5 on 4 October, its new cache kept the code from an earlier run when only that code had changed, not its test. The cache is off until Angular’s own fix for it is released, so a change that breaks something fails there too, not only in the checks on GitHub, which always started without the cache.
• The review agent that checks changes against the project’s conventions can now read the GitHub issue a change is for, so it can tell whether the change does what the issue asked. Its guard used to block that; it still lets the agent run nothing that changes the code or GitHub.
• The check Claude Code runs before it pushes a change hands over to the API’s or the AWS project’s own check when the push is for one of those, instead of running this site’s there. This site’s check blocked every push of the AWS project, which has no lint script of its own, and ran the API’s lint in the mode that rewrites files.
• The last two of the site’s building blocks that still had an app- prefix in their name (the page’s outer element, now root, and the frame around every page with the navigation and footer) lost it, like all the others, and Angular’s tools no longer add it to new ones. Pages look and work the same.

Players online and the navigation

• A new page, Players online, shows how many people are playing Old School RuneScape right now: the count, the split between members and free-to-play, and the players on each country’s worlds, with the flags from the game’s World Select. Below it, a chart shows the count over the last day, week, month, year or all time, with the busiest moment of each range. Hovering the chart shows the count at that moment, per country and split by members. The count at the top is live, read from the game’s world list, and the chart’s history is counted from it every 10 minutes, so it starts on 13 October 2026 and the longer ranges fill in from there. The page arrives with the live count already in it, so the number doesn’t jump a moment after it loads or on a reload. Left open, the page updates the count and the chart every minute, so it never needs a reload. A shared link to the page shows a card with the count right now, a line of the last 24 hours, the split between members and free-to-play, and the day’s peak and low, and its title in search results, “OSRS player count: How many people are playing right now”, uses the words people search for it with.
• The navigation has two menus, Trackers and Game, in place of the XP Tracker and Price Tracker links, so the pages on their way have a place in it. Trackers leads to the player lookup, the item search and the A–Z item list. Game shows the live count of players online with a line of the last 24 hours, below a divider that sets it apart from the news links, and opens the Players online page; hovering it lights it up like the other menu rows and turns its title green, so it reads as a link. With a mouse, a menu also opens when you point at its tab and closes when you move away, so you don’t have to click; a click keeps it open. On phones the three tabs stay in one row and a menu opens across the screen. The item search’s coins in the Trackers menu, smaller than the other icons at first, are now as large as the player lookup’s.

News

• A news archive, OSRS news, lists every Old School RuneScape news post, newest first and by month, each with its artwork, Jagex’s teaser, category and date, and opens the post on Jagex’s site. Pick a category to see only those posts, and “Show older posts” pages back to the very first ones. Home’s “All news” now opens it instead of Jagex’s archive. Artwork and teasers for posts from before October 2026 are still being added; until then those posts show a placeholder.
• Back after a break? “Since you last played” on the news page shows only the posts after a day you pick on a calendar, so you can catch up on what changed; a year dropdown in the calendar jumps straight back to the year you stopped. The day is in the link, so it can be shared, and this device remembers it: from then on the Game menu has a link straight to the news since that day, above “Latest news”. Clearing the day on the news page forgets it again, and takes the link out of the Game menu.

Privacy

• Google Analytics only runs if you allow it. A banner asks once, with two equal buttons, Allow and Don’t allow, and Cookies at the bottom of every page changes the choice later. Until you allow it, nothing is sent to Google. The banner shows together with the page instead of a moment after it, and never flashes up once you’ve chosen.
• The privacy policy and terms are rewritten: shorter, naming who runs the site, what each kind of data is used for, how long it’s kept and which other services your browser contacts. The site’s security policy no longer allows connections to Jagex’s image server, which the site doesn’t use (news images come through OSRS Tracker’s own API).
• Google Analytics events name what they record (the theme, the item, the player) instead of using the old Universal Analytics category and label, and the tag no longer sets an IP masking option that Google Analytics 4 ignores. It also records searches (and players that aren’t found), the periods, tabs and options picked on player and item pages, retries after an error, and how fast pages load on real visits (Core Web Vitals).

Players and items

• A player’s hiscores tooltips show their rank among their own kind of account as well as among all accounts: ironmen, hardcores and ultimates among their mode (a hardcore who died, or an ultimate who dropped the status, among ironmen, as that rank still moves), level-3 skillers among skillers and 1 Defence pures among pures. Skill tooltips show the rank too, which only bosses, raids and clues did before. Those ranks load when you first open a tooltip, so a page view asks Jagex for nothing more unless you look.
• Shared player links show a large preview card in Discord, Reddit and chat apps instead of the small OSRS Tracker icon: the player’s account type, name, combat level, total level and XP, and every skill level as in the game’s stats tab, with 99s in gold. The card says which day the stats are from, as apps keep a preview for weeks.
• An item’s daily volume covers the last week instead of two weeks. Item prices and charts now come from version 2 of the OSRS Wiki’s prices API, as the Wiki asks, which serves the price history from its cache instead of its database. The monthly check of the GE tax rules uses version 2 too.
• Item pages in search results lead with the item: the title says the page has its price, high alch and buy limit (“Abyssal whip - OSRS price, high alch and buy limit”), and the description starts with the item’s examine text.
• The XP Tracker and Price Tracker titles start with a capital after the colon (“OSRS XP Tracker: Daily gains, boss kills and clues”). Google shows them flipped, with “OSRS Tracker” at the end, and the result began with a lowercase word.
• Player pages have a 90D period, as OSRS Tracker now keeps 90 days of stats instead of 60. The history fills up from today: until 12 November, 90D shows the gains since the oldest day kept.
• Player pages can compare any two days in the history, or show the stats on a single day. Compare, beside Days above the day log, shows in its place what each skill and activity gained between the two days, biggest first, with the XP and levels gained in total; “Show all stats” lists every level, XP, score and rank, and how many places each rank moved. The two days are picked on a calendar, where a bar under each date shows how much XP was gained by that check, so the busy days are easy to find, and the days between the two picks are shaded; when the history spans more than a year, a year dropdown jumps between years. Days are named by the check’s UTC date, so a picked day’s name matches its date in the calendar wherever you are. Only days with a stored check can be picked, so a day the check missed is skipped. The days picked are in the link, so a comparison can be shared, and the history loads only once Compare is opened.
• Player pages respond sooner after they load, especially on phones: the charts are drawn just after the page comes alive instead of during it, the skills, bosses and raids card starts up a moment later, and on phones the clues and minigames card and the day log only start up once you scroll to them. Item pages benefit from the chart change too. Today’s gains come in sooner as well: your browser asks the hiscores for them while it reads the page, instead of once the page has started up. With a tracking time other than 00:00 UTC picked, a player page no longer asks for the player again before it starts up, so its history loads one request sooner. The chart no longer waits for what the stat tiles compare with the period before.
• The switches that pick a period or a view (7D, 30D, 90D and the like) light up the option under the pointer, like the site’s other buttons, so it’s clear which one a click picks.

Behind the scenes

• Requests the site’s server makes, to the OSRS Wiki and to OSRS Tracker’s own API, name the site’s GitHub repository (github:osrs-tracker/osrs-tracker-web) as their user agent, so whoever receives them knows where to report a problem.
• This changelog dates its days as 2026-10-13 instead of 2026/10/13, the international standard, and every change is checked for broken links in the project’s documentation.
• Changes go through GitHub’s merge queue, which tests each one on top of the latest version and the changes queued ahead of it before merging. Ready changes no longer wait to be updated and retested by hand after every other merge, so they go live sooner.
• The chart code moved to the shared code, so pages outside the trackers can draw charts too.
• The site’s server no longer logs an error on every page it renders: the Google Analytics page view, which needs the browser’s address, only runs in the browser.
• The item search and the light and dark theme now rely on what the site already ships (Angular’s resources and NgRx Signals) instead of code of their own, and the news archive and a player’s history share one way of loading more pages, so there’s less code to maintain.
• The site’s server no longer renders the Players online page every minute ahead of time, as it did whether anyone visited or not; it renders the page when someone opens it, like the tracker pages.

Item pages

• Item page headers work better with long names such as Tumeken’s shadow (uncharged). The name itself links to the OSRS Wiki, as a player’s name links to the hiscores, with the icon following its last word when it wraps. On phones the favourite star sits beside the price instead of squeezing the name, and the link to the item’s letter reads “Items starting with T” with a forward arrow, so it fits beside the “Price Tracker” back link.
• On an item’s page, the stat tiles write large amounts as the item lists do (786.71M, 2.15B) instead of cutting them off; hover for the exact amount.
• Item names with accents, such as Imperial rosé, show in the site’s font, on the site and in their link preview card, which dropped the accented letter.

Link previews

• Shared item links show a large preview card with the item’s icon, name, examine text, buy limit and alch values, instead of the small OSRS Tracker icon, so each item is recognisable in Discord, Reddit and chat apps.
• Link preview pictures, for item pages and every other page, also show in tools and apps that load them straight into a web page, such as opengraph.xyz, where they showed as a broken image.

Behind the scenes

• The review agent that checks changes against the project’s conventions can only read: a guard lets it run nothing but git and GitHub read commands (including searching the code), one at a time. It starts with the project guide loaded, flags fewer things to double-check, and opens its report with a one-line verdict.
• Claude Code gets a verify skill that runs the build, lint, formatting and tests, which Claude Code runs before each commit of a code change, and the lint check before a push now only starts for commands that run git.

Look and feel

• On tablets, the home page is about half as long: the example player card stays beside the search, the latest news shows four compact cards in a row (as on phones, two by two), and the recently looked up players and items sit side by side.
• A former ironman keeps their original helm instead of a crossed-out one, with a badge for what changed: a red × when they de-ironed, the ironman helm when an ultimate ironman de-ultimated, and the skull when a hardcore died. In player lists, hovering the helm explains it, as on the player’s page.

Player pages

• In a player’s day log, boss kills, clues and other activities sit below a line under the skills, so a kill count is no longer mistaken for XP.
• On a player’s page, clicking the tab that’s already open (such as Clues while the chart shows skills) charts that category again.
• On a player’s page, hovering over the levels gained below the count lists them all, one per line.

Fixes

• A tab left open while the site updates no longer gets stuck when you open a page or chart you hadn’t visited yet: it reloads into the new version, on the page you clicked.

Search and sharing

• An item page’s description in search results is clearer: “Track Abyssal whip prices with OSRS Tracker”, what the page shows, then the buy limit and high alch value, each after a dot. It no longer says whether it’s a members or free-to-play item.

Look and feel

• The navigation bar and link previews show the OSRS Tracker wordmark, a large “OSRS” over a small green “TRACKER”, as on the browser tab icon.
• Something that failed to load and can be retried, such as a price in a list, shows its retry button in amber, so it reads as a failure rather than a refresh button.
• Price changes are easier to read: green and red are a shade darker in the light theme, and in the dark theme a falling price sits on a solid dark red pill instead of a pinkish one.

Search and sharing

• Links to the home page, the price and XP tracker pages and the about pages, shared on Discord, X, Reddit and other sites, now show a preview with a picture and a short description of the page, instead of only its title.
• Those pages also have clearer titles and descriptions in search results, and tell search engines their one true address, so variants such as a search in the address bar don’t count as separate pages.
• Item pages get the same: a title with the item and its price (“Abyssal whip - OSRS Grand Exchange price”), a description of their own in search results (members or free to play, buy limit, high alch value) and a compact link preview with the OSRS Tracker icon.
• On an item page, the link to the OSRS Wiki is the icon beside the item’s name instead of the name itself.
• Player pages too: the title and description come from the player (“The Fraking - OSRS XP Tracker”, their account type, combat level and how long they’ve been tracked), and every spelling of a name (the_fraking, THE-FRAKING) points search engines to the same page. Shared, they get the same compact preview as item pages. A name that isn’t on the hiscores is titled “Player not found”.
• Search engines can find the pages of players tracked in the last 30 days: the sitemap lists them, each with the date it last changed. The player and item sitemaps are always current, with new items and players listed the day they appear instead of after the next site update. The sitemaps drop the priority and update-frequency hints, which search engines ignore, and give the A–Z item pages no date, as their item lists change without one.
• Pages describe themselves to search engines in structured data, so results can show the site’s name and a trail such as “Price Tracker › Abyssal whip” instead of the page’s address.
• Addresses ending in a slash, such as /about/terms/, redirect to the same page without it, so every page has one address and those pages load as fast as the address without the slash.

Price pages

• Browse every Grand Exchange item A–Z: each letter has its own page with all its items and their prices, reached from “Browse all items A–Z” under the price search, or from “More items starting with …” on an item page.
• The price chart no longer zooms with the mouse wheel or a pinch, or pans when dragged: the period switch (1D to 1Y) sets its range. Item pages load a little less code.
• Item pages load faster, for visitors and search engines alike: their prices come from the OSRS Wiki’s list of every item’s price, which answers in a tenth of a second and is reused for a minute, instead of a separate request per item that one page in ten waited seconds for.

Player pages

• A skill or activity Jagex adds before the site has its icon shows a grey question mark instead of a broken image, wherever icons appear (the hiscores, the charts and their tooltips).
• The Boss kills tile writes the most killed boss’s count like the total above it: “Vorkath (1,000)” instead of “(1000)”.
• Player pages are about a third smaller and quicker to start on phones: the day log opens with the last week instead of two (“Load more days” adds the rest), and 30D loads its 30 days instead of 60.
• The home page and the XP Tracker are a quarter to a third smaller: their recently looked up players come with only what the list shows.

Behind the scenes

• Player pages read the API’s new, more compact hiscore history (@osrs-tracker/models 2.2.0 and @osrs-tracker/hiscores 4.1.0). Nothing looks different: the same levels, XP, kill counts and “Unranked” labels, and a skill or activity Jagex adds later counts in the XP and activity totals before the site knows its name (boss kill counts include only the bosses the site lists).
• The build tools’ install steps run again: their approvals were pinned to versions an earlier update had replaced.
• Unused build settings are gone, and the sitemap and icon scripts use the same module format as the rest of the code.
• Icons, fonts, sitemaps and the other files served as they are moved to public/, where current Angular projects keep them. Their addresses stay the same.
• The code follows Angular’s current naming (home.ts with Home, no .component suffixes), imports use @app/ aliases, and lint now checks that shared code never depends on a page and pages don’t reach into each other. Shared code is grouped by what it’s for (the design system’s parts, the API, formatting) instead of by kind, and the player page’s chart, log list, hiscores and colours each have their own place.
• The player page’s code is split into smaller parts (loading the history, the stat tiles, the two hiscores cards). Nothing looks or works differently.
• The server builds the item and player sitemaps from the API when they’re requested, keeping them for a day and an hour, so building the site no longer fetches anything from the OSRS Wiki or the API.
• The item or account type icon at the top of item and player pages loads straight away instead of waiting for the page’s layout, and icon descriptions read as plain words (“hardcore ironman icon” instead of “hardcore_ironman icon”).
• Pages connect to the hiscores and the OSRS Wiki’s prices early, so Home’s top players, player pages and item prices load a little sooner, and they no longer open a connection to a news image server they never use.
• Pages that only show a message, such as “Page not found”, an unknown player or item, or the error page, give it a real page heading, like every other page, so reader modes and outline tools see it too. Nothing looks different.
• When a page can’t be loaded, the error page tells search engines to try again in five minutes, so a short outage doesn’t slow down how often they visit. The item and player search boxes switch off the browser’s autofill with a valid setting.
• Item, player and A–Z pages build their title, description and link preview from the data the page already loaded, instead of asking the API for the same item or player up to three times and relying on those requests being merged. Nothing looks different.

Price pages

• Item pages open faster, most of all when the OSRS Wiki’s price service is slow: the page no longer waits for the price history, which loads in your browser behind placeholders like the chart already did, and waits at most a few seconds for the latest prices before showing placeholders that your browser fills in.

Player pages

• Boss, raid and clue counts just under a million show as “1M” instead of “1000K”. Short numbers on player and price pages (XP, prices, chart axes) round exact halves up, so 1,005 now shows as “1.01K”, and zero never shows as “-0”.
• When the 30 or 60 day history fails to load, Retry loads the rest of it in one request instead of two.

Keyboard

• Choices like the period and range switches, Home’s Player / Item switch and the profit calculator’s mode take one Tab stop, on the chosen option: the arrow keys move between the options and Enter or Space picks one, so moving through the periods doesn’t load each one. Screen readers announce them as radio buttons with their position (“2 of 3”). An option that can’t be picked, like High alch for an item that can’t be alched, can still be reached with the arrow keys to read why.
• In the item search on Home and the Price Tracker, the arrow keys move through the results, which highlight like on hover, and Enter opens the highlighted one. Escape or clicking outside closes the list. Screen readers announce the results as a list tied to the search box. Results are still links, so middle-click and “Open in new tab” keep working.
• On player pages, the skill, boss, raid, clue and minigame grids and the chart’s legend each take one Tab stop instead of one per cell, so getting past the grids takes a few Tab presses instead of more than fifty. Inside, the arrow keys move between cells (row by row, the total level last) and Enter or Space picks one. A cell’s tooltip, with its XP or rank, now also opens when it gets keyboard focus, including cells that can’t be picked, as does the account type tooltip in the player header; Escape closes them. A tooltip stays open while the pointer is on it or it has keyboard focus, so moving the mouse away doesn’t close the one you arrowed to. When the focused legend chip goes behind “+N”, focus moves to the legend’s first chip instead of back to the top of the page. Screen readers announce the grids as grids with rows and columns.

About pages

• When this changelog can’t be loaded from GitHub, the page shows the site’s usual error page with a “Try again” button, instead of a bare “Cannot GET” message.

Source code

• The site’s source code is now under the Elastic License 2.0 instead of Apache 2.0. You can still read it, learn from it and run it yourself, but not offer it to others as a hosted service, paid or free.

Behind the scenes

• The server logs how long each request it makes while building a page takes, to find what slows pages down. All its log lines are now structured and say what they’re about, so they’re easier to search. They’re written by the same shared package as the API’s, in the same shape. Logged errors include what caused them, such as why a request to the API failed, along with details like the error code.
• The price pages work out the start of a UTC day in one place instead of three.
• The sitemap dates of the changelog, privacy and terms pages now say when those pages last changed, instead of moving to the time of every deploy, so search engines can trust them.
• Removed the old script for publishing the site’s image by hand, left over from before updates went live automatically.
• The server’s monitoring now uses the same shared package as the API instead of an unmaintained one, and also reports the server’s memory use and responsiveness.
• Compressing pages and scripts moved from the site’s server to the router in front of it, like the API’s responses, leaving the server more time to build pages. Browsers get the smaller brotli format, as before. Changed icons now show up within a day instead of a month, while the site’s scripts and styles stay cached for a year, as their names change with every update. Right after an update, the first visitors get ready-made pages instead of waiting for them to be built, and a rare cause of failed page loads is fixed.

Player pages

• In the skill grid, picked skills are tinted and outlined in their colour on the XP gained chart, like the boss, raid and clue cells, so the grid doubles as the chart’s legend. The total level keeps the green. A picked skill’s progress bar moves inside its outline, so both stay in full view. Only skills that gained XP in the chosen days can be picked, like bosses and raids: they’re outlined in their chart colour, and the tooltip says how much they gained. A shorter period drops picked skills that gained nothing in it. The chart’s legend no longer shows a “+0” chip when everything past the first few chips is already on the chart.
• In the skill, boss, raid and clue grids, a picked cell’s tint now matches its outline, like the chart’s legend, instead of leaning violet.
• Bosses have new colours that fit them: Zamorak red for K’ril, Saradomin blue for Zilyana, venom green for the wilderness spiders, melee red, ranged green and magic blue for the Dagannoth Kings, and so on, instead of a third of them sharing the same red. When two bosses on the chart still look alike, the one with fewer kills takes another colour, in the grid too.
• When the live hiscores come in after the page loads, the chart only moves its newest day instead of redrawing every line from the bottom. Switching to 30 or 60 days shows the chart and the stat tiles loading until those days are in, instead of drawing the days already loaded and then drawing again. Today’s day in the log shows it’s loading until the live hiscores are in, instead of “Nothing interesting happened”. The header only says when the stats were last saved when the hiscores aren’t responding and those are the stats shown, and today’s day says which hour it counts from.

Phones

• The big search on Home, the XP Tracker and the Price Tracker fits narrow screens: the Search button is a search icon, so the input has room for its hint, and on Home the Player / Item switch fills its own row above it. The latest news on Home shows two by two, with the whole picture, the title first and a short date, so the tracker lists are a shorter scroll away.
• Player and item lists take one line per row: players show their XP gained without the total level, and items show their price beside the change. The tracking offset menu is smaller, on every screen size.

Behind the scenes

• Updates go live automatically once they’re merged, instead of being built and deployed by hand, so fixes reach the site sooner. Each update is checked on the live site after it’s deployed, and the README shows whether the latest deploy succeeded. Deploys no longer run the checks a second time for their own commit, each one is named after the change it ships, and changelog-only updates no longer rebuild and redeploy the site, since this page reads the changelog straight from GitHub.
• Pages rendered on the server get their data from the OSRS Tracker API directly inside the hosting cluster, instead of going out to the internet and back in, which saves a round trip on every page.
• Updated the shared OSRS Tracker hiscores packages, which no longer keep the old text copy of each hiscore. Player pages read the stats as they’re stored instead of passing them through the old converter.
• Requests for missing script, style, font and image files get a quick “not found” instead of being rendered as a page. Some crawlers asked for the site’s files under a player or item address, which made the server look up a player or item named after the file.
• Page requests that a visitor or crawler cancels before the page is ready are logged as warnings marked as aborted, with how long they waited, instead of as server errors.
• The project notes cover working on it in parallel copies, describe today’s changes and say to reread the whole day when adding to this changelog, and the check before publishing changes looks at the copy being published instead of the main one, however the publish is written.
• Removed three old comparison icons that nothing on the site used anymore.

The new look

• Refreshed colours in both themes (a lighter page in the light theme), flat cards with rounded corners and bigger headings, pill-shaped switches for periods and views, and restyled buttons, inputs, info tooltips and charts. Failed loads say what went wrong with a “Try again” button. Changes up are a brighter green, and numbers in text are no longer spaced out like the values in tables.
• A new navigation bar and footer. On phones, Home, XP Tracker and Price Tracker sit side by side as tabs under the logo, with the current page underlined, instead of behind a menu button. The loading bar is a thin sweep that only shows when loading takes a moment, and stands still if you’ve asked your device to reduce motion. The GitHub link moved to the footer and the X/Twitter link is gone.
• New player and item lists on Home and the trackers. Each list is a card with a short description and, for your own lists, a count. Players show their account type, total level and the XP gained since they were last tracked, or “No XP gained”. Items show a short price (“1.4M gp”, the full price on hover) and their change since yesterday as a green or red percentage. Lists show placeholder rows while loading instead of a spinner, and items whose price fails to load now say so with a retry button instead of showing a dash. Prices on the item charts use the same short form (“1.61B”, “2.54K”).
• New XP Tracker and Price Tracker pages: a header with a bigger search box, and your recent lookups and favourites as three equal lists below it. On the XP Tracker the tracking offset sits under the search and says which hour’s hiscores you’re seeing.
• A new Home page: one big search for players or items, with the tracking offset under it for players and your first three favourite items for items, next to an example of a player’s stats. The latest news cards are clickable as a whole, and the XP Tracker and Price Tracker cards list the five most recent lookups with a link to open each tracker.
• A new item page: a header with the item’s icon, its name linking to the OSRS Wiki, the examine text and the instant sell price with its change since yesterday, then six tiles with the instant buy and sell prices, the margin after GE tax, the daily volume, the buy limit and the high alch value. The price chart switches between the last day, week, month and year, and the daily volume shows what was bought and sold over the last 14 days. A new profit calculator works out the profit of flipping or high alching the item, using the Grand Exchange’s 2% tax (rounded down, at most 5M per item, none on exempt items like bonds). Prices show placeholders while loading, and a link to an unknown item offers a search instead of the 404 page. The trend card is gone; the year view covers it.
• A new player page layout. The header shows the account type (tap it for details on a phone), the name linking to the official hiscores, the combat level, how far back the history goes and when the daily check last stored their stats. Four tiles sum up the total level and rank, the XP gained in the last 7 days compared with the week before, the levels gained and the boss kills. Skills, bosses and raids share one card with tabs, and clues and minigames another; picking a skill, a tab or an activity switches the chart to it, and you can pick several skills to compare them. Skills show their progress to the next level, and activities with gains are outlined in their chart colour. Minigames only list what the player is ranked in, Legacy Bounty Hunter and Deadman points get an icon instead of a broken image, and only running totals (Rifts closed, Soul Wars Zeal, Bounty Hunter) are charted. The day log lists XP, levels and activity gains together. When the hiscores aren’t responding, a notice says how old the stats are. A player who doesn’t exist gets a search box to try another name, and a player whose tracking just started gets an explanation instead of an empty chart.
• New player charts. Pick the last 7, 30 or 60 days: the chart and the XP, levels and boss kill tiles all follow, with the XP compared to the period before. Above the chart, what it shows and its total for the period, such as “Total XP gained +3.72M” or “Zulrah kills, kill count 4,812”. XP gained is a running total: Overall on its own, or one line per skill you pick, with chips under the chart to add or remove skills and the day’s gain on hover. Bosses, raids and clues show each day’s gains stacked per activity, with chips to hide or show them. Minigames chart one running total at a time.
• The new look reaches the last pages. The changelog, privacy policy and terms are a narrower card that’s easier to read, and the changelog’s list bullets are easier to see in the light theme. The “not found” and error pages are a panel like the item and player ones, and the error page has a “Try again” button that reloads what failed.
• The item search shows each match’s price, placeholder rows while searching instead of a spinner, and a message when nothing matches. When searching fails, it says so with a retry button, instead of looking like nothing was found.
• The dotted background behind the Home, XP Tracker and Price Tracker headers is easier to see in the light theme.

Improvements and fixes

• Home and the Price Tracker load faster: their item lists fetch prices in your browser, so the page no longer carries every item’s price with it (about 730KB less). Every page loads a 23% smaller stylesheet: the changelog no longer uses a styling plugin for its text, which also fixes a security warning.
• The player page counts its 7, 30 and 60 days by date. When a player has days without stats (off the hiscores, or not checked), the tiles and chart say where they actually start (“XP since 12 Sep”) and only compare periods of the same length, and the gains from those days show as one date range in the chart and the day log, instead of on the day before the gap.
• The XP gained in the recently looked up players lists is measured from your selected tracking offset. Players tracked at more than one offset could show the XP gained since another offset’s last update.
• The recently looked up items and players lists only show what people looked up, not what search engines and other bots visited, and bots no longer start tracking new players. Lookups are recorded by your browser once the page has loaded. A newly tracked player’s first entry shows up on their page right away.
• Updated the SOLIX font to version 2.22: minus signs and arrows now use the site font, so negative changes like “−0.6%” are the same width and height as positive ones. The profit calculator writes a negative return on investment with a true minus, like the other numbers.

Behind the scenes

• The security policy no longer allows background workers, a leftover from the service worker that was turned off in 2025.
• Updated the shared OSRS Tracker data models and hiscores packages, preparing for the player page’s “History since” date and a notice when the hiscores aren’t responding, and correcting their description of when a player was last looked up.
• A monthly check compares the Grand Exchange tax rules used for “Margin after tax” and the profit calculator with the OSRS Wiki, so a change to the rate, cap or exempt items gets noticed.
• Removed the old styles and colours the new look no longer uses, and a deprecated Angular hydration setting that’s now on by default. Documented the design system and the reasons behind it for future changes.
• Code changes are formatted automatically and checked for lint and formatting errors before they’re pushed, and reviewed against the project’s conventions before release. The automatic build and tests only run when the code or its dependencies change (or the previous run didn’t pass), not for releases or documentation, and reuse the installed dependencies until they change.
• Claude Code loads a short project summary with the commands, the hard rules and where app-wide code lives in every session; the project’s guide keeps the details without repeating them. Claude Code also gets Angular’s documentation for the installed version, and the guide has notes on code navigation and on which data loads only in the browser: lookups and player tracking (for people, not crawlers) and large price lists.

• Player pages show a chart above the logs. Skills: the XP gained per skill over the loaded days, in RuneLite’s skill colours, with the top 6 shown and the rest toggled from the legend. Other: daily bosses, raids, clues or minigames side by side, picked with a category toggle, each coloured after its icon, with the collection log in every category. Tooltips show the skill or activity icons.
• Player page layout: the logs are titled “Progress” and line up with the player card; on phones and tablets the clue, raid and boss cards are collapsed behind a button, so the progress is closer to the top; phones show short dates, and the chart legend shows the top skills with a “+N” chip for the rest. “Last checked” no longer wraps.
• The home page feature previews are replaced by XP and Price Tracker cards, each with the real search and the five most recently looked up players or items.
• Updated the SOLIX font to version 2.21, now loaded as a single variable font: one smaller download covers every weight.

Error handling

• Player pages, player cards, item price trends and charts, the recent lookups and the home page news show a message with a retry button when loading fails, instead of loading forever or showing empty data.
• Opening a player or item page while the site’s data is unavailable shows an error page, instead of the link doing nothing.
• The error and not found pages have a button back to the previous page, or to the home page when opened directly.

Improvements and fixes

• The light theme is softer on the eyes: page backgrounds, cards and inputs are no longer near-white, and greens are less bright.
• The feature previews on the home page show the current design, and are sharper on high-resolution screens.
• Updated the font with redesigned S and $ letters.
• Favorite and recently viewed items update right away, and the price tracker reads them from the browser only once.
• The clue scrolls card on player pages no longer shrinks slightly when the hiscores finish loading.
• Item search no longer shows the results of an earlier search when searching quickly.
• Damaged tracker data saved in the browser no longer crashes the price tracker or makes player pages show “not found”.
• Site updates no longer cause brief errors while they roll out.

Performance

• Fonts are no longer downloaded twice.
• Skill, boss, raid and clue icons come with the player page instead of as about a hundred separate downloads.
• Skill icons and homepage images are cached by the browser instead of downloaded again on every visit.

Security and privacy

• Tightened the security policy: scripts can no longer be generated from text at runtime, and scripts that aren’t part of the site can no longer run on its pages.
• Server logs record the visitor’s IP address, the referring page and the response size, to spot and block abuse.
• Updated the privacy policy: logs include IP addresses and are kept for up to 30 days for security, generally without deletion on request; attacking IP addresses are shared with CrowdSec’s community blocklist; and it explains how to exercise your GDPR rights.

Behind the scenes

• Removed the old offline mode (disabled since April 2025), including the cleanup step for browsers that still had it installed.
• Server monitoring groups requests by page type (e.g. all player pages together) instead of by URL.
• The server runs with fewer permissions, is taken out of service automatically when it stops responding, and shuts down cleanly during updates.
• Server-side page renders no longer share requests with each other.
• Updated the web server to Express 5, the code checking and testing tools, and the changelog renderer.
• Automatic security updates for dependencies; removed unused code and dependencies.
• Simplified the player and item page code; the home page news, changelog and loading bar use the shared data loading code, and the price and volume charts share their setup code.
• Project skill: documented the changelog conventions (### subtitles on busy days, no near-duplicate entries).
• Automated tests for the page cache, page pre-rendering, request handling, monitoring, page errors and removing players that no longer exist.

Player pages

• Added clue scroll, raid and boss kill cards. The boss card lists every boss, with a dash for bosses without a kill count on the hiscores.
• Redesigned the skill logs: one line per skill with right-aligned numbers, and the total XP and levels gained in the header of each day.
• Bigger, sharper icons in the skill and other logs, and sharper skill and activity icons elsewhere.
• Days without progress, including a single day or today, show as a muted outlined card, and consecutive ones are combined into one compact row.
• Numbers in the logs are no longer bold.
• The favorite button (also on item pages) is now a star icon at the top of the page, and the Old School Hiscores button an external link icon.
