description=Scientific satellite remote sensing workbench: TOA-to-BOA atmospheric correction, calibrated preprocessing, 42 spectral indices, classification, change detection, and time-series analysis in QGIS.
about=AriesLegacy is a scientifically rigorous satellite spectral analysis, atmospheric correction, and change detection workbench for QGIS. It supports Sentinel-2 (L1C/L2A), Landsat 4-9 (C2 L1/L2), physical TOA-to-BOA atmospheric correction (Mode A Automatic and Mode B Advanced 6S Radiative Transfer), automated band mapping, 42 calibrated spectral indices, custom AST formula builder, two-date change detection (dNBR, RdNBR, RBR, CVA, transitions), time-series trends (OLS, Sen's slope, Mann-Kendall), statistical classification, area calculations, and research-grade HTML audit reports. Developed by AriesPlus Geospatial Solutions.
version=2.5.1
changelog=2.5.1:
  - Expanded QGIS platform compatibility: Set supported QGIS version range from 3.1 to 4.99.
  - Updated release version to 2.5.1.
  - Cross-platform runtime hardening across QGIS 3.x releases and forward-compatible QGIS 4.x environments.
  - Complete TOA-to-BOA Atmospheric Correction suite (AL-ATM-BOOK-2.0).
  2.1.0:
  - Major Feature: TOA-to-BOA Atmospheric Correction Suite (AL-ATM-BOOK-2.0).
  - Mode A (Automatic Mode): Product metadata inspector, auto-detection of L1/L2, decodes Level-2 BOA directly with duplicate correction prevention, or runs verified processor with fail-safe TOA fallback.
  - Mode B (Advanced Mode): 6S physical radiative transfer model parameterized by SZA, AOT550, aerosol profile, water vapour, ozone, elevation/pressure, and sensitivity testing.
  - Exploratory Dark Object Subtraction (DOS_APPROXIMATION).
  - New QGIS Processing Algorithms: inspectproduct, toacalibration, automaticcorrection, advancedcorrection, correctionquality.
  - Dedicated UI tab for Atmospheric Correction with product state inspection and parameter controls.
  2.0.1:
  - Code hygiene and linter compliance: Resolved all ambiguous variable names (flake8 E741) and unused variables (F841) to pass official QGIS Plugin Repository automated security scan.
  - Enhanced XML security parser handling and exception management.
  2.0.0:
  - Major v2.0 upgrade: Modernized into a rigorous, transparent satellite remote sensing workbench.
  - Strict Scope Lock: Complete removal of experimental GeoAI / chatbot components in favor of scientifically defensible algorithms.
  - Preprocessing Engine: Added Landsat L1 DN-to-TOA Radiance/Reflectance (PRE-001, PRE-002), Sentinel-2 L1C TOA decoding (PRE-004), Landsat C2 L2 SR scaling (PRE-005), Sentinel-2 L2A SR decoding (PRE-006), Brightness/Surface Temperature (PRE-009), and radiative transfer validation.
  - Complete Spectral Index Laboratory: Expanded to all 42 published indices/aliases across Vegetation, Water, Moisture, Built-up, Soil, Fire/Burn, and Cryosphere.
  - Safe AST Custom Formula Engine: Restricted syntax tree evaluation without eval().
  - Advanced Change Detection Studio: Signed/relative difference, dNBR, RdNBR, RBR, CVA, transition matrices, and gains/losses.
  - Time-Series & Trend Analytics: OLS trend, Theil-Sen slope, Mann-Kendall test, and temporal compositing.
  - Classification Suite: User thresholds, Equal Interval, Quantile, Jenks Natural Breaks, Standard Deviation, and Otsu binary thresholding.
  - Updated Official Brand Identity: Integrated new official AriesLegacy spectral satellite logo and high-resolution iconography.
  - Full QGIS Processing Provider: Registered provider 'arieslegacy' with comprehensive Processing Toolbox algorithms across all groups.
