Mar 1, 2026March 2026 – Avis-Drone-Labs/FGCS: Delivered key feature enhancements and stability fixes that improve operator UX, safety checks, and release readiness. Notable features include POI markers on the dashboard map, an always-on version update modal, and substantial FLA graph enhancements for interaction, data display, and reliability. Added prearm status to the dashboard and center-launch behavior for child windows to improve safety and workflow efficiency. Expanded connectivity and release controls with UDP Out support and prerelease vs official release checks. Incremental version bumps for releases 0.2.2 alpha patch 1 and 0.2.3-alpha-dev.1 were applied. Major bugs fixed address data handling and UI state, reducing failure modes in production. These changes collectively enhance operational readiness, faster time-to-insight from flight data, and confidence in releases.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 (Avis-Drone-Labs/FGCS) delivered a key feature improvement for the navbar socket connection, replacing interval polling with an event-driven model using 'connect' and 'disconnect' events and enhancing drone connection status visibility. This included removing an unused interval hook, resulting in cleaner code and reduced unnecessary processing. The work was packaged in Release-alpha-0.1.8-patch-2 (commit be9ae0a8756c5420ccb5e7bc53c4658005eef826). No separate major bugs were reported; reliability and responsiveness of the connection status UI were improved. Overall impact: more accurate real-time status, improved user experience for drone connections, reduced resource usage, and easier long-term maintenance. Technologies/skills demonstrated: event-driven socket handling, code refactoring, cleanup, versioned releases, and cross-team coordination in a single repo.
