Every chart opens on the full history
Overview, price trends, brands, day-of-week patterns, spikes and news now open on all stored NSW history, with the shorter periods still available in each picker.
Added a period picker to Price Trends; the statewide trend now plots one average per day, back to the first stored day.
Restored the weekly state-average import after AIP moved its price charts to new pages, and filled the missing weeks since late July. Charts now say which week the AIP data runs to, and flag it if an update is overdue.
Thinned news markers on long charts so price lines stay readable, and fixed the Patterns tab layout on phones.
Months of price history
Added a period picker to the Overview and Brands charts, reaching back up to 12 months of stored NSW history instead of a fixed 14 or 30 days.
Added 6- and 12-month periods to the day-of-week pattern, which now loads quickly over long windows.
Overview and brand charts now plot one daily average per NSW calendar day.
Restored map tiles
Updated the map to use OpenStreetMap's canonical tile endpoint so station locations render reliably.
Australian state fuel-price comparison
Added an 80-day comparison of published weekly ULP petrol and diesel averages for every Australian state and territory.
Added a jurisdiction selector to the Overview, defaulting to NSW while allowing the headline chart to show any imported AIP series.
Added prominent NSW-only notices and labels to every Overview panel below the selectable AIP chart.
Stopped multi-story newsletter roundups from being presented as dedicated fuel-price articles in Related News Context.
Imported the complete available AIP history into FuelWatchX's local database so dashboard reads do not depend on a live third-party request.
Clearly labels ACT as the Canberra series and preserves provider and retrieval provenance with every observation.
Expanded the FAQ to distinguish weekly AIP jurisdiction averages from detailed NSW FuelCheck station analytics.
Faster dashboards and clearer project information
Faster first load: common dashboard reports are now precomputed after each 2.5-hour price scrape and published together.
Lighter overview: the landing dashboard no longer downloads the full statewide station-price dataset.
Lazy loading: data-heavy station, brand, and patterns views load when opened instead of delaying the overview.
Transparency: added a site footer, maintainer information, LinkedIn contact, data-source attribution, and this changelog.
Long-range trends and production reliability
Added the cached 80-day petrol-versus-diesel headline chart.
Protected public read endpoints with bounded parameters, response caching, and request coalescing.
