Glossary published
64 security, privacy and compliance terms used across the guides defined in plain English — tagged Australia, New Zealand or both, with statutory terms linked to their official source and each term cross-linked to the guides that use it. Guide pages also link terms inline — dotted-underlined, first occurrence only — with a hover definition and a jump to the glossary.

Independent source re-check of the change events
The change events were independently re-checked against the primary and official sources. The majority were confirmed as recorded; a number were corrected — mostly reclassifying a registration or compilation date to the date the law actually changed — and further sourced events were added. The change set now stands at 83 events across 18 guides, 82 verified against a primary source.

Regulatory change tracking added
For every law and framework guide, dated change events (amendments, commencements, guidance updates and officially-scheduled future changes) were researched from official sources and each date re-checked against the source it came from before being included. 71 events across 17 guides.

Guide corpus researched and published
