Release Notes

Version 1.5.0.0 26 July 2026 Latest Major

The largest single expansion of the method set to date: nine tools take the platform from 43 to 52. FRAM, SNA and EAST open a new Systems shelf on Method Tools, EAST composing task, social and information networks of one scenario over a single shared entity model. CDM brings the Critical Decision Method interview to a native interactive timeline, GDTA and SAGAT arrive as a situation-awareness pair, SWAT completes the workload shelf, and HE-HAZOP puts a configurable team-run guideword walkthrough beside SHERPA. A rebuilt ErgoCompass helps you choose the right method, assures the foundations were not skipped, and writes a defensible justification straight into the HF Integration Plan. Sharing the headline, ErgoBow stops being a bowtie editor and becomes a critical control management platform: a governed control library with structured performance standards, applicability and deployment across a configurable context hierarchy, multi-level assurance planning over an evidence registry, dependency and common-mode analysis that ends the false defence-in-depth claim, an accountable route from a failed control through temporary controls to restoration, and portfolio views that aggregate without losing the thread back to the evidence. Underneath, the catalogue is reorganised under a naming rule that is now written down, and the assurance layer takes a decisive step: a saved project can prove it has not been altered, there is one governance chain instead of two, and a single mutation gate stands at every save seam. The report preview finally matches the Word document it previews, across roughly forty tools.
