    SkyView v0.0.3 - Enhanced User Experience and Data Quality

    This release focuses on improving the user experience and data quality in SkyView, our real-time ADS-B aircraft tracking application.

    Key Features & Improvements

    🔍 Active User Tracking

    • Added WebSocket client tracking with live "X viewers" display
    • Real-time visibility into how many users are actively monitoring air traffic

    📦 Package Management Enhancements

    • Automatic changelog generation for Debian packages
    • Improved package metadata and documentation

    ✈️ Data Quality Improvements

    • Fixed speed validation: Removed the artificial 600kt speed cap that was incorrectly filtering legitimate high-speed aircraft
    • Enhanced corrupt data detection: Better algorithms for identifying and filtering truly corrupted ADS-B messages
    • More accurate aircraft tracking with reduced false positives

    📚 Documentation Updates

    • Improved installation and configuration documentation
    • Better error handling explanations
    • Updated architecture documentation

    Installation

    Debian/Ubuntu Package Installation

    ```bash

    Download and install the .deb package

    sudo dpkg -i skyview_0.0.3_amd64.deb

    Install any missing dependencies

    sudo apt-get install -f

    Start SkyView service

    sudo systemctl enable skyview
    sudo systemctl start skyview
    ```

    The SkyView web interface will be available at `http://localhost:8080` by default.

    • Sample configuration files
    • Systemd service files

    Technical Notes

    This release maintains full backward compatibility with existing configurations. The speed validation improvements specifically benefit tracking of:

    The WebSocket client tracking feature adds minimal overhead while providing valuable operational insights.
