Site
The version prepared and checked on the test environment becomes the official version of govxray.com. 35 of 35 live checks passed after release.
Method
The classification of the functions of government (COFOG 1999) used to build the site is now the official registry. The six former local subclasses under 05.1 to 05.4 remain local extensions, attached to the corresponding 05.x.0 class. Pages that display COFOG classes take this registry at their next rebuild.
| Item | Scope | Before | After |
|---|---|---|---|
| COFOG classes in the loaded registry | Classification registry, all cities | 115 classes (local registry) | 109 classes (official registry: 10 divisions, 69 groups) |
Method
The method is on a single page with six topics: reading the figures, understanding the stack, spending and revenue, assets and debts, taxation, sources and comparability. The accounting framework, previously on a separate page, is now part of it. Old addresses and anchors lead to the matching passage.
Site
The About page presents the project, the government stack, the principles, the publisher and the contact. It now has its own address; the former information page redirects to it. The same contact address appears in both languages.
| Item | Scope | Before | After |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contact address on the About page | French and English pages | Older address, different in French and English | Charles-Olivier.Dube@govxray.com in both languages |
Correction
The comparator summary showed one city’s total as the gap. The gap is now the difference between the two government stack spending totals per capita, with the calculation shown.
| Item | Scope | Before | After |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gap shown, Copenhagen minus Montréal, government stack spending per capita | Comparator, display currency USD | 41,044 USD per capita (Copenhagen total shown as the gap) | 41,044 − 24,764 = 16,280 USD per capita |
Correction
In the tax scenario, changing the housing value from 6.35 to 4 times income left the total and the property tax unchanged, and the field reverted to 6.35. The entry is now kept and the scenario recalculated.
| Item | Scope | Before | After |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scenario total taxes and contributions, housing at 4 times income | Montréal, single employee without children, employment income of 120,000 CAD | 53,169 CAD per year (6.35 times value not recalculated) | 51,173 CAD per year |
| Scenario property tax, housing at 4 times income | Montréal, single employee without children, employment income of 120,000 CAD | 5,387 CAD per year (6.35 times value not recalculated) | 3,392 CAD per year |
Correction
The Health and social services view showed 7,227 CAD per capita, but Sources and calculations listed the general spending of each level. The lines are now those of the selected category, and their sum gives back the figure shown.
| Item | Scope | Before | After |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sources and calculations lines, health and social services | Montréal, government stack, CAD per capita | General spending of each level: 13,170, 17,664 and 3,937 CAD per capita | Québec: 64,200,000,000 ÷ 9,110,000 = 7,047; Montréal: 317,900,000 ÷ 1,762,949 = 180; total 7,227 CAD per capita |
Correction
The stack money-flow diagram was blocked inside the Montréal and Tokyo pages, while its dedicated page worked. Security headers now allow it to display within the site only.
Correction
In search (⌘K), clicking a city or pressing Enter had no effect on 5,749 pages. The search script is fixed at the source and in the 6,730 published pages.
Correction
After a currency change, some English pages showed amounts in French format. The converter now formats according to the page language, for example 41 044 in French and 41,044 in English. Its label becomes “Display currency”.
Correction
Switching from English to French in the comparator removed the chosen subject, for example Assets and debts. The whole selection is now kept when the language changes.
Correction
The comparator CSV and JSON buttons stayed disabled while the tables were displayed. They now export the result shown.
Site
The home map no longer has a Budget balance mode: one point per city. The preview of the selected city presents the stack and the three areas, without a separate municipal block.
Site
A single name registry covers the 476 cities: French name, English name, local name and variants. In French, 48 cities take their established French name, for example Lisbonne (Lisbon), Varsovie (Warsaw), Copenhague (Copenhagen) and Londres (London).
