Changelog
A listed record of all the features, improvements, and fixes released to the website.
DP Resources updates
- Rebuilt the Question Bank reading workspace with an immediately available first question, a searchable question index, inline answers and explanations, and more reliable saving and reporting.
- Restored clear subject and topic colour throughout Question Bank and made formula booklets readable continuously with lazy page loading, without interrupting practice.
- Polished Question Bank navigation with compact filter controls, improved resource illustrations, an on-demand formula booklet and clearer Physics paper grouping while preserving every original resource.
- Completed inline Physics Study Notes across the 24 syllabus topics, adding Overview, Questions, Study Notes and Resources tabs within the existing SL/HL context.
- Made the Physics homepage shorter and faster to navigate, then refined the internal course and topic pages, reading layout, resource navigation and question loading.
- Expanded Physics All Resources and Past Papers browsing, with direct textbook, guide, booklet and exam archive access from study pages.
- Started rebuilding Question Bank around a more focused question reader, collapsible topic navigation and clearly organised resource links.
- Expanded the Physics subject homepage into a syllabus-based learning hub with all five themes, assessment guidance and original resource artwork.
- Made the visible syllabus respect the selected SL or HL level, with a single consistent course switch and clearer topic destinations.
- Expanded the reviewed Physics curriculum to R5 with 1,758 unique question cores, 2,366 question variants and 58 reviewed resource versions—599 more cores and 922 more variants than R4.
- Completed the remaining visual-evidence recovery so image-dependent Physics questions were restored only when the source evidence was sufficient; unresolved items remain excluded rather than being guessed.
- Fixed the standard PDF reader so resources use the full available page width again and the fullscreen control no longer covers the browser PDF menu, restoring access to native viewing options such as two-page view.
- Made Question Bank source filters substantially faster by replacing the heavier all-content source lookup with a Question Bank-specific source query.
- Made Practice Builder availability load much faster by reducing repeated mapping work and removing the retry path that could double the wait after a slow request.
- Improved Recent activity reliability so resource and Question Bank opens are recorded more consistently across retries while rapid duplicate opens are filtered out.
- Cleaned duplicate Past Papers folder layouts into one clear Year → May/November structure while preserving unique older papers, canonical breadcrumbs and direct links, and complete folder-scoped search across legacy paths.
- Fixed Library file return navigation so leaving a resource now returns to the folder it came from instead of dropping back to the Library root.
- Added the versioned curriculum release foundation, including immutable curriculum contracts, routes, placements, assessment structures and cross-subject validation fixtures.
- Refined Login, Sign Up, password recovery, email verification and password setup with consistent action links, cleaner spacing, and a layout that fits naturally together with the site footer without unnecessary scrolling.
- Strengthened homepage product proof with clearer live platform statistics, including 30+ user-facing updates and 670+ code changes from the past 30 days.
- Improved the public homepage Library demo so every shown Physics resource has a working three-page preview, the demo clearly states how many resources are being previewed, and the free-account gate looks consistent in dark mode.

- Improved global Search so Command/Ctrl + K toggles it open and closed while Escape still closes it.
