 * Analysis: The azimuthal-integration solid-angle correction now follows the incidence angle to the detector normal (`cos^3` of that angle) instead of `cos^3(2*theta)`, so it is correct for a tilted detector and matches PyFAI `solidAngleArray` and MAX IV azint (unchanged for an untilted detector). Crystal geometry refinement (`XtalOptimizer`) no longer silently ignores an imported PONI `rot3` (rotation about the beam): it is applied as a fixed rotation in the residual so refinement stays consistent with the rest of the pipeline. Polarization and azimuthal binning already honoured `rot3` through the full PONI rotation.
 * jfjoch_viewer: Open datasets on the WSL2/UNC filesystem (paths starting `\\`); write processing outputs next to the input file, with a Browse button and independent `_process.h5` / merged `.mtz`/`.cif` toggles; and show the determined space group in the merge-statistics window.
+* jfjoch_viewer: Connect to a broker over `https` (an http/https selector in the connect dialog), and keep the HTTP connection alive across reads for faster live-follow.
 * rugnux: Accept an absolute `-o` output prefix in offline processing.
+* rugnux: Faster two-pass rotation indexing - the first pass now runs its FFT indexing and geometry refinement in parallel (results unchanged).
+* rugnux: Rotation indexing now works on standard DECTRIS datasets that store no spots - the first pass finds spots itself instead of failing.
+* Robustness: Harden size handling of untrusted input in TIFF reading and raw-TCP frames.
 * Packaging: The self-contained Linux viewer `.tgz` now bundles cuFFT, so it runs without a system CUDA toolkit (`.deb`/`.rpm` are unchanged, distro-managed).
 * Docs: Documentation updated to match the current analysis code and CLI.
