description=Turn recorded deeds into validated parcel geometry. Vision-LLM extraction of metes-and-bounds descriptions, checked by deterministic closure math; click the point of beginning to place the parcel on your map. Batch folders, DXF export, and plat/as-built identification included.
about=Easting reads a recorded deed (PDF, TIFF, PNG, or JPEG), extracts every boundary call (bearing/distance/curves), then recomputes the traverse and validates closure and stated acreage before anything reaches your map. Every result carries a GroundTruth verdict, the verification layer behind all Easting products: PASS (closes and corroborates), REVIEW (flagged for human eyes, with reasons), FAIL (not traversable). REQUIRES A SERVICE ACCOUNT: extraction runs on the hosted Easting API, so the plugin uploads each document you extract to easting.ai and needs an Easting API key to work. There is no offline mode. See https://easting.ai for keys and terms. This release covers Easting Deeds: metes-and-bounds and PLSS/aliquot descriptions. Aliquot tracts georeference from the BLM CadNSDI fabric and place with one click; deed metadata (parties, recording references, plat citations) and tie courses render in the review dock and export with the GeoPackage.

changelog=
    0.6.0
    * Extract folder…: submit a directory as one batch; results load into the review dock as they settle
    * Save DXF…: CAD export beside GeoPackage, true arcs, unplaced by design (POB at origin, feet)
    * Recorded plats and utility as-builts identified; a plat's printed call tables become placeable tracts that face the deed closure check
    * TIFF, PNG, and JPEG accepted; documents up to 32 MB upload via staging and are deleted as they are read
    * Meters, varas, and chains convert correctly and display in the document's own unit
    * Save certificate…: the GroundTruth Certificate of Digitization as a PDF, with each tract drawn to scale and every course numbered against its source text
    * Long documents no longer time out: extraction is submitted and polled, so a multi-tract instrument finishes instead of erroring at three minutes
    * Full notes: easting.ai/help (Changelog section)
    0.5.0
    * Recorded easements and rights of way: burden card (type, width, term, exclusivity, rights, servient parcel), honest refusals, square-foot verification for small easements
    * Group placement: one click on a shared commencement point places every tract
    * $30 document pack named in Settings; user guide at easting.ai/help/
    0.4.2
    * Free trial at signup (3 documents, card required); self-serve keys at easting.ai/account
    0.4.1
    * Qt6 compatibility and plugin-repository security-scan compliance
    0.4.0
    * PLSS/aliquot parsing with one-click georeferenced placement (BLM CadNSDI)
    * Deed metadata panel, structured tie courses, per-call adjoiners; all exported
    0.3.0
    * All engine logic moved server-side; verdicts and geometry come from the Easting API
    0.2.0
    * Hosted-only: extraction runs on the Easting API with an east_live_ key
    0.1.0
    * First MVP: extraction, review dock, POB placement, GeoPackage export
