Full Release Notes

## v0.5.0 — Environmental & Infrastructure Monitoring

### New Intelligence Layers

- **🔥 NASA FIRMS Fire Hotspots (24h)** — 5,000+ global thermal anomalies from NOAA-20 VIIRS satellite. Flame-shaped icons color-coded by fire radiative power: yellow (low) → orange → red → dark red (intense). Clusters use flame icons too — no confusion with Global Incidents circles.

- **☀️ Space Weather Badge** — Live geomagnetic storm indicator in the bottom status bar. Color-coded Kp index from NOAA SWPC: green (quiet), yellow (active), red (storm G1–G5).

- **📡 Internet Outage Monitoring** — Regional connectivity alerts from Georgia Tech IODA. Grey markers at affected regions with severity percentage. Uses only reliable datasources (BGP routing tables, active ping probing) — no misleading telescope data.

### Fixes & Improvements

- All data sourced from verified OSINT feeds — no fabricated or interpolated data points
- Internet outages filtered to reliable datasources only (BGP, ping) — excludes merit-nt telescope data that produced misleading percentages
- Fire clusters use flame-shaped icons instead of circles for clear visual separation from other layers
- MapLibre font errors resolved — switched to Noto Sans (universally available on tile servers)
