Minor corrections and improvements: - submission of events to the RAPAS network is now using the correct user name - improved contour calculation 

September 6, 2024

- Added filters for instruments onboard major satellites: Swift, Fermi, SVOM - Added alerts (via GCN/Kafka) from Einstein-Probe and Swift BAT-GUANO - Various minor improvements and bug fixes, incl. fixing filter modifications by the user, the submission of events to the RAPAS network is now using the correct user name, etc.

July 28, 2024

- API requests can now use the filter settings defined in the web/smartphone interfaces - Extension of the /event endpoint to handle a list of events - Top-10 events (compiled in collaboration with the Pro-Am network RAPAS) can now be downloaded - Various minor improvements and bug fixes, incl. lightcurves being updated more often (twice per day), added link to the Xingming Sky Survey Project (XOSS), etc.

July 14, 2024

- Introducing optical lightcurves: Daily updated lightcurves for recent optical transients + Customized lightcurves using user-defined time ranges for all events - Added localisation contours for IceCube Cascade events - Added GRBs detected by the SVOM satellite - Minor changes: Improved sub-filters for classified optical transients + Updated the Tilepy integration to v1.1.0 + Minor improvements to layout and design + Various minor improvements and bug fixes

July 1, 2024

- Introducing regular event updates from TNS + change history to all events within Astro-COLIBRI - Added date selection for tilepy scheduling, multi-observatory and longterm visibility - Added GRB ToO observations by the H.E.S.S. high-energy gamma-ray observatory  - Minor changes Notifications sent with higher priority + added reset of date range to filtering - Bug fixes: Event submissions to the RAPAS network + visibility figures not accessible on smartphones

June 4, 2024

- Introducing rate limits on the most computing and IO intensive endpoints (latest_transients and cone_search) - General filters: sources visible by the selected observatory, angular distance to the sun, retracted events, etc. - Minor changes: use of GPT-4o for event descriptions, added Gemini North+South to observatories, user defined duration of an observation for the tilepy scheduling plan of GW follow-ups, added direct link to scientific publications for each source on ADS/SciX - Bug fixes: Tilepy GW follow-up observation plans for radio observatories fixed + display of GW events in timebar

May 7, 2024

- Added alerts stream for special targets: rare events that you don’t want to miss (e.g. the 2024 explosion of T CrB, a Galactic supernova, etc.) - Added SNEWS supernova neutrino alerts (notifications sent to supernova, neutrino, Astro-COLIBRI announcements, and the new “special targets” stream) - Added user setting to adapt the precision of the displayed coordinates - various minor bug fixes

April 23, 2024

Added Einstein Probe (WXT) detections Bug fix: observatory filters

April 17, 2024

- Additional filtering options for gravitational waves and high-energy neutrinos - Event descriptions via OpenAI/GPT-4 - Minor changes and bug fixes: new onboarding, fixed synchronisation of filter settings, etc.

March 14, 2024
