Bird Detection Occurrence Probability included in MQTT messages (#1199)

Species Rarity Scoring: Adds 0-1 occurrence probability to all bird detections
Smart Alerting Foundation: Enables nuanced notifications based on species rarity at specific locations
MQTT Integration: Occurrence data automatically included in MQTT payloads
Performance Optimized: Cached species scores lookup with graceful fallbacks
Impact: More intelligent detection prioritization based on actual species probability

Weather Underground Provider Integration (#1174) 🌟 Community Contribution by @ModerateWinGuy

Personal Weather Station Support: Direct integration with Weather Underground API for ultra-accurate local weather data
Custom Station Data: Pull readings directly from your own weather station for precise detection metadata
Modern UI Integration: Full configuration interface with API key, Station ID, endpoint, and units selection
UK Hybrid Units: New unit option combining metric and imperial measurements
Impact: Enhanced detection accuracy with hyper-local weather conditions from personal weather stations

CSV Export for Range Filter Species (#1207)

Data Export: Download complete species lists from range filter settings
Multi-Access Points: Export from both main settings page and modal dialogs
Custom Parameters: Support for latitude, longitude, and threshold customization via query strings
Metadata Headers: CSV includes location, threshold, and timestamp information
Impact: Enables offline analysis and data sharing with other birding tools

End-to-End Testing Foundation with Playwright (#1202)

Cross-Browser Testing: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and mobile device support
Page Object Models: Reusable dashboard interaction patterns
CI/CD Integration: GitHub Actions ready with comprehensive test reporting
Foundation for Quality: Smoke tests for dashboard and authentication workflows
Impact: Target 70% reduction in user-reported bugs through systematic integration testing

Smart Notification Management (#1178)

Duplicate Prevention: Eliminates spam from repeated "new species" notifications
Configurable Suppression: 7-day default window (0-30 days configurable)
Memory Efficient: Automatic cleanup of old notification records
Thread Safe: Robust concurrent operation handling
Impact: Cleaner notification experience without losing important alerts

Critical Bug Fixes & System Stability (#1208, #1217, #1195, #1194, #1193, #1205, #1201, #1188)

Species Tracker Reliability: Fixed 8 critical bugs with comprehensive testing, achieving 41% test coverage
OAuth Authentication: Resolved callback URL mismatches causing 404 errors with dual-route support
Settings Persistence: Fixed web UI inability to save node names, time formats, and security settings
Test Infrastructure: Eliminated imageprovider test timeouts and goroutine leaks with proper cleanup
Species Config Persistence: Resolved zero value omission in species configuration
Notification Optimization: Lowered priority of timeout errors to reduce alert noise

Decoupled BirdNET Models from Binary (#1191, #1190, #1189, #1187)

Separated Model Files: BirdNET models now separate from birdnet-go binary in Docker images
Reduced Update Downloads: Only download binary changes when updating - models stay cached
NoEmbed Build Option: Optional builds without embedded models for maximum size reduction
Automatic Model Discovery: Smart detection of BirdNET models in standard paths without configuration
Environment Variable Support: Custom model paths via BIRDNET_MODELPATH
Backward Compatibility: Existing Docker configurations continue working unchanged
Impact: Dramatically faster Docker updates and reduced bandwidth usage for frequent deployments

Install Script Improvements (#1181)

Comprehensive Port Validation: Checks all required ports (80, 443, 8080, 8090) before installation
Process Identification: Shows which processes are using occupied ports
Actionable Error Messages: Provides specific stop commands for common web servers
Multi-Tool Compatibility: Uses ss, lsof, netstat, and nc for maximum system compatibility
Impact: Prevents installation failures due to port conflicts with clear remediation steps

Security & Compatibility Updates (#1216, #1186, #1213, #1212, #1211, #1210, #1185)
