Release v0.1.0 (Cumulative Update + RC)

Major Updates & Performance

Database Engine Overhaul: Implemented an in-memory cache architecture with O(1) lookup and zero memory allocation.
Massive Import Optimization: Completely rewritten data import logic, vastly increasing processing speed (up to 50k+ records/sec).
Viewport Bounding Box Filtering (95% Performance Boost): – AircraftList.json is now generated dynamically based on your current map coordinates.
- The frontend only fetches and renders aircraft that are actually visible on your screen.
- The map updates seamlessly and dynamically as you pan and zoom.
- Result: Drastic reduction in network transfer and UI rendering load.
Aircraft trails: Added the ability to display aircraft trails on the map, providing a visual history of their flight path.
Aircraft marker mapping: Admin panel allows admin to edit/assign aircraft markers to their types. For example, if type SF50 does not have marker, Admin can assign it.

Support for VRSOperatorFlags repositories: – Added support for Silhouettes.zip and Silhouettes.csv.
- Added support for AirlineLogos.zip and OperatorFlagsList.csv.
Global Database Support (Important: Please read their specific licenses before using!):
- Support for OpenSky Network aircraft database (CSV format).
- Support for ADS-B Exchange aircraft database (NDJSON format).
Smart Callsign Fallback: If no aircraft database is installed or a specific plane is missing from the DB, the system will automatically use the first 3 letters of the callsign to display the Operator Flag (e.g., DLH518 will show the Lufthansa flag even if the plane isn't in the DB).
- Note: This requires the OperatorFlags/AirlineLogos to be installed via the Admin Panel.

Strict Admin Panel Separation: – The public VRS X frontend is available on port 8080 by default (customizable in settings).
- The Admin Panel runs natively in the Desktop window application. (Known bug: closing the admin panel window currently causes the app to exit).
- In Headless mode (using the --headless flag), the Admin Panel is exposed on port 5000. Please ensure your firewall is properly configured!
Database Export / Import: You can now safely export your aircraft database to a file and restore it with one click.
Legacy Support: Added the ability to import legacy BaseStation.sqb database files (Note: provided as-is, no guarantee of perfect compatibility).
Configuration Hot-Reload & Backup: – Export settings: Downloads your config.json containing all feeds, ports, and API keys.
- Import settings: Upload a .json file to instantly restore your setup. The system validates the JSON and automatically applies settings on the fly without requiring a restart.
- Security Note: Import/Export operations DO NOT include or overwrite Admin account credentials.
