+
+TL;DR:
+- New "Statistics" subpage with plots
+- Assets generation is now part of automated deployment
+- Main dataset table is now ordered by year instead of alphabetically
+- Renamed "Ground Truth" to "Indirect Labeling" for clarity
+- Three new datasets: UNIBS, ISOT Botnet, UWF-ZeekData22
+- Added related work
+- Updated/improved some entries
+
+This update adds a new *Statistics* subpage, accessible via the navbar or [this link](/intrusion-detection-datasets/content/statistics).
+There, you can find plots visualizing various aspects of the surveyed datasets, along with detailed explanations.
+Plots are automatically generated from the CSV file added in v1.3.0.
+
+Speaking of "automatically", asset generation - meaning CSV data and plots - is now *actually* automated.
+While these files were already generated by scripts, they had to be executed manually.
+Now, this process is integrated into the deployment of the website itself, ensuring that all datasets are actually included in the generated files (removing the human element of potentially forgetting to do that).
+
+The main table itself has been updated in two ways:
+First, it is now ordered by year of creation as opposed to alphabetically.
+We feel like this makes more sense, as datasets do deprecate over time, which does not fit with the rigid structure imposed by the latter method.
+The new method also makes it easy to recognize any newly released datasets.
+Secondly, the three-class label for "Labeled?" has been changed from [Labeled, Ground Truth, No Labels] to [Direct, Indirect, No Labels] along with updated descriptions.
+The original naming was unclear, since labels itself are also a form of ground truth.
+
+New dataset entries:
+- [ISOT Botnet](/intrusion-detection-datasets/content/datasets/isot_botnet)
+- [UNIBS](/intrusion-detection-datasets/content/datasets/unibs)
+- [UWF-ZeekData22](/intrusion-detection-datasets/content/datasets/uwf_zeekdata22)
+
