2025.20.0

Release Date: November 21, 2025

The 2025.20.0 LACES release focuses on improving data accuracy, import completeness, permission security, and state-specific reporting reliability, while continuing platform-wide performance improvements.

🌐 Service Disruption Update

Between approximately 8:20 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. Central Time on November 20, LACES was temporarily unavailable due to a network-related disruption. Our monitoring systems detected the issue immediately, and our team began investigating with our hosting provider right away. The outage appears to have been related to broader Cloudflare network disruptions affecting portions of the internet backbone during that time.

The LACES team remains committed to providing a reliable, secure, and high-quality experience, and we continue to monitor our systems closely to help prevent interruptions.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.
