Nightly Build nightly-20260322

If you're on nightly-20260321, update to this release. It fixes a critical bug that caused the Settings > Integrations page to freeze the entire UI, making all navigation unresponsive. Both Docker and bare-metal installs are affected.

This release includes all features from nightly-20260321: realtime spectrogram with live detection labels, graceful restart, onboarding wizard, OIDC-secured HLS streaming, taxonomy synonym overrides, Discord webhook notifications, and three new locales.

---

Critical Bug Fix

• Integrations page freeze (effect_update_depth_exceeded) — an infinite reactive loop in eBird API key validation caused Svelte's runtime to lock up when navigating to Settings > Integrations, freezing all buttons and navigation until the tab was closed (#2475, fixes #2478, #2474)

Telemetry Improvements

• Frontend Sentry error tracking — client-side errors are now reported to Sentry with privacy filtering, helping catch UI crashes like this one faster (#2476)
• Telemetry hardening — nil guard, bounded event queue, logger-to-Sentry wiring, and source map support for meaningful frontend stack traces (#2477)

Nightly Build nightly-20260321-397

If you use Discord notifications, update to this release. Previous nightlies silently suppressed Discord alerts because detections were dispatched with the wrong internal notification type, causing webhook delivery to never trigger.

This release includes all features from the earlier nightly-20260321: realtime spectrogram with live detection labels, graceful restart, onboarding wizard, OIDC-secured HLS streaming, taxonomy synonym overrides, and three new locales.

---

Discord & Webhook Notification Fixes

• Fix silent Discord notification suppression — detection alerts were dispatched with an incorrect internal notification type, causing Discord and other webhook notifications to be silently dropped instead of delivered (#2467)
• Pass detection metadata to webhook templates — webhook templates now receive full detection metadata (species, confidence, location, timestamps), fixing empty or broken Discord rich embeds (#2473)
• Fix premature species tracker update — species tracker was updated before the detection was fully created, causing stale data in notification context (#2469)

Documentation

• Discord notification setup guide — step-by-step guide with rich embed webhook template (#2472)

Nightly Build nightly-20260321

This nightly is a large feature release. Highlights include realtime spectrogram visualization with live BirdNET detection labels, graceful binary and container restart, a first-time onboarding wizard, OIDC-secured HLS streaming, taxonomy synonym overrides, and three new locales.

New Features

Nightly Build nightly-20260310

This nightly (March 10, 2026) contains critical bug fixes for the nightly released on March 9. Key fixes include audio filter chain initialization for all sources, biquad state corruption prevention in multi-source setups, MySQL v2 migration compatibility, and sound level processor stability. If you installed the March 9 nightly, updating to this release is strongly recommended.

This release also includes all features and improvements from the March 9 nightly: V2 database schema, alerting rules engine, redesigned UI pages, PWA support, and much more.

---

Critical Bug Fixes (since March 9 nightly)

• Audio filter chain not initialized for non-malgo sources — filter chains were only set up for malgo audio sources, leaving RTSP and other sources without filtering (#2163)
• Biquad state corruption in multi-source setups — shared filter state across audio sources caused cross-contamination; now uses per-source filter chains (#2168)
• Sound level processor error flooding and race condition — excessive error logging and a data race in the sound level processor (#2169)

New Features

V2 Database Schema

What changed: The database now uses a properly normalized design with separate tables for labels, models, and predictions linked by foreign keys. This enables multi-model support, model-specific labels, and significantly more efficient queries.

Migration: Existing installations can migrate to the new V2 schema from the System / Database dashboard. The migration runs in phases with progress tracking and validation and must be initiated manually by the user. Fresh installations start directly with the V2 schema.

Why it matters: Features like the new alerting rules engine, advanced analytics, and the database dashboard all require the V2 schema. Future features will be built exclusively on this foundation.

Alerting Rules Engine

A flexible, rule-based notification system that replaces simple threshold alerts. Create rules that combine multiple conditions — species, confidence, time of day, location — and route alerts to different notification channels. Managed through a new inline rule editor in the settings UI (#2010).

Database Dashboard

A new System / Database page showing real-time database health metrics, storage statistics, and performance sparklines. Includes integrated migration controls and backup management with progress tracking (#2056, #2058, #2060).

Insights Page (Backend)

New backend API endpoints for the upcoming Insights page, providing aggregated analytics data (#2145).

eBird Integration Settings

New settings UI for configuring eBird integration (#2146).

Currently Hearing Card

A new dashboard card showing species currently being detected in real-time, sorted by most recent detection with wall-clock timestamps (#2126, #2128).

PWA Install Support

BirdNET-Go can now be installed as a Progressive Web App on mobile and desktop devices for a native app-like experience (#2015).

Daylight Filter

An optional filter that can discard detections of user-specified nocturnal species during daytime hours, reducing false positives. Users must enable the filter and configure which species are affected. Uses sun position calculations based on your configured location.

Quiet Hours per Audio Source

Configure quiet hours independently for each audio source, allowing different schedules for different microphone locations (#2065).

Bird Image Proxy

Bird images are now proxied through the Go backend with a local file cache, improving privacy and load times (#2129).

UI Redesigns

• Detection Detail Page — completely redesigned with improved layout and information density (#2037)
