What Changed in December 2021
What changed in October and November 2021
To Sunday 5 December 2021
- Added functionality that shows a date when you are setting an overnight stop by day number (if planning with dates)
- Put an upper limit on day numbers (if planning with trip length specified)
- Improved a few of the error messages when planning with fixed stops to make it (slightly) clearer where the problem is
→ Release 9.38.6
Monday 6 December 2021
- Fixed bug where intermediate places were truncated by an empty item (issue 986)
→ Release 9.38.6.1
Friday 10 December 2021
- Fixed bug where code to check if a link was in a lock flight was over confident, leading to occasional messages about stopping in lock flights (issue 987)
→ Release 9.38.6.2
Saturday 11 December 2021
- Added a "suggest overnight moorings" option to the overnight output plugin - reusing code for display from gazetteer pages. This isn't quite what issue 402 asked for, but achieves much of the spirit of the request (may well enhance to offer a "stop here instead" option later).
- Along the way did some small tweaks as I found them:
- Removed "no information available" when the mode of mooring isn't available (caused odd messages like: "Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor) , no information available. Fee payable to lock keeper").
- Removed a spurious '.' in some stopping output
→ Release 9.38.7
- Improved the auto testing framework to check that pages are correctly generated (I thought it was doing this, but not since the move to the "pages" subsystem)
To Thursday 16 December 2021
- You can now change an overnight stop to one of the suggested ones - delivers issue 402.
- You add overnight stops more than once (this way or through "adjust stops")
- Loading a ring over an existing route clears stops rather than assigning them to new places
→ Release 9.38.8
Friday 17 December 2021
- Fixed bug with cancelling wizard causing faulty XML error
- Three improvements to the new mooring change code:
- Fixed error where sometimes the same place was being shown for both options
- Improved the code to implement both this and adding overnight stops from checkboxes - quicker, clearer and shorter!
- Turned it on by defaul
→ Release 9.38.9
- More tweaks now lots of people are using it:
- Prevented it hanging when planning a route with no stops in it [pre-release]
- Fixed the ability of people to easily add mooring information (!) [pre-release]
- Removed alternatives when the next best mooring is off the ends of the trip
→ Release 9.38.10
Sunday 19 December 2021
- Two more tweaks to that code
- Extended removing alternatives to prevent the options changing the order of the trip under strange circumstances (lots of stops close together, very little mooring information)
- Tidied the code up quite a lot
- Added electricity hook up and WiFi symbols to display in places and on routes - suggested in issue 964
- Darkened the toilet symbol - it was a bit feeble compared to the others
→ Release 9.38.11
Friday 24 December 2021
- Fixed the display of sunrise times in route planning (issue 988)
- Moved the option for this from the "Display" tab to the "Overnights" section of "Output"
- Added a note to the default "Display" tab to tell people that options for other things are in "Output" and "Gazetteer"
- Fixed it so you could turn checkbox options for plugins off if their default was on (up to now, if turned off they revert straight back to on)
→ Release 9.38.12
Monday 27 December 2021
- Fixed assorted pieces of code around place "types" - first stage of trying to integrate these, POIs and mapping symbols in a coherent way
- You can now add ones
- Adding them to places works reliably
- Bulk edit works
- Removed the place_misc table
- Adjusted PDF generation to remove the closeup_map_manifest files that were accumulating
- Pre-release fix to problem with changing photo preferences introduced on Christmas Eve
- Improved the "no JS bug reports from this broken robot" feature and added another to the list of shame
→ Release 9.38.13
