Data Updates
Every ranking on this site is retrieved automatically from the office that publishes it, four times a year. This page lists what changed and when: new years, longer lists and corrections. The entries are worked out from the data itself by comparing each retrieval with the one before.
Current Status
Last retrieval: 3 October 2026. Next scheduled retrieval: 2 January 2027. Offices publish a new year once a year, at different times, so most retrievals bring nothing new. When nothing changes, no entry is added below.
