**Updated:** 2026-08-01

**Canonical:** https://vendorcadreviews.com/changelog/


## 2026-08-01 — redundancy pass

- Removed duplicate industry posts (same source URL / HTML-entity slug twins).
- Culled near-duplicate SOLIDWORKS “What’s New” release notes, event recaps, and off-ICP plant/IT noise.
- Dropped overlapping feeds (DEVELOP3D CAD category, SOLIDWORKS Blog, Plant Engineering) from ingest.
- Slimmed About to point at Trust/Methodology instead of repeating disclosure copy.

## 2026-08-01 — blog + reviews scale-up

- Expanded into a **blog + reviews** hub with 100+ citation-ready articles (glossary, guides, evaluation, industry, comparisons, reviews).
- Added `/blog/` and `/reviews/` indexes, tag pages, BlogPosting schema, and expanded `/llms.txt` corpus links.
- Content generation via `npm run generate` (skips hand-authored pillars); claims remain methodology-bound.

## 2026-08-01 — launch

- Launched VendorCadReviews.com as a static, AI-scrapable manufacturer evaluation hub.
- Disclosed ownership (published by VendorCAD) on every page.
- Limited VendorCAD capability claims to the verified public claim set.
- Added Trust, Methodology, About, FAQ, guides, and comparison pages.
- Primary CTA set to Schedule a discovery call; soft entry to Designed-In Checklist.
- Added this changelog for transparency.
