Release History

What's New

Track PRISM's evolution from initial release to multi-language powerhouse.

While the public timeline below may appear compressed, PRISM has been under ideation and quiet development for much longer. The core ideas — MRO visualization, shadow detection, and the 200ms loop — were refined over months of research and prototyping before the first release.
