What’s new in Basira — improvements, features, and fixes as they ship.
v2.5
All libraries are now self-hosted — no reliance on third-party servers, and the platform works even behind restricted networks.
Honest failure states: when data can't be fetched, we say so clearly instead of showing incomplete results.
Export your results as GeoJSON and CSV for use in your own tools.
Elevation profile: draw a line on the map and see its terrain.
H3 hexagonal grid for finer cell-level spatial analysis.
v2.4
Fixed Content Security Policy issues that were blocking some map layers from loading.
New layer: forest loss — see where tree cover has receded over the years.
Reliability improvements: better handling when external data sources go down.
v2.3
A full end-to-end audit of the platform, from the interface down to the server, with every issue we found fixed.
Security hardening: tighter request limits and stricter input validation.
Removed dead code throughout, so pages are lighter and load faster.
v2.2
New premium layer toggles with finer motion and a more polished feel.
A unified button system across the whole platform — consistent sizes, states, and contrast everywhere.
v2.1
The mobile experience now feels like a native app: draggable bottom sheets and smoother touch interaction on small screens.
Unified the map controls (zoom, locate, layers) into one consistent system across all screen sizes.
v2.0
New “Meridian” redesign: a calmer visual identity with a light panel background, IBM Plex type, and a signature cobalt accent — with full dark-mode support.
Arabic is now a first-class language across the interface — direction, numerals, and labels — not an afterthought translation.
Reorganized the layers and results panels so they are clearer and easier to scan.
