What Changed in October 2026

What changed in June to September 2026

To Sunday 4 October 2026

• Lots of work integrating new "floods" database with stoppages. A lot of refactoring and general tidying up of the code took place at the time, and specifically:
• Added configuration for displaying flood warnings
• Added a "clear diversions" button to the warning box when route has been planned around them
• Made this warning a little tidier and more prominent
• Reinstated code to give an error on things like expired sessions for route planning
• Extended the anti-hack code to the general flow control database because scumbags
• Stopped errors when Google invents issue IDs for the code that's only there because they took their issue tracking software away. That'll learn me.
• Improved handling of entries into reference tables when places are changed - should sort out issue 1412

→ Release 9.45.13

• Minor bug fixes in several places (a duplicate definition in PDF_utils; a macro-inclusion-order problem for navigational notes in waterways; an endless loop if a stoppage doesn't feature later in planning)

→ Release 9.45.13.1

Monday 5 October 2026

• Another catch for attempted hacking
• Floods in navigational notes now get the right coloured warning flags and the appropriate text

→ Release 9.45.13.2

• Several fixes to navigational notes for floods in PDF output

→ Release 9.45.13.3

• A head of pre-release patches, especially for |issue 1417

Tuesday 6 October 2026

• Fix to building cached stoppage geodata for default stoppages

→ Release 9.45.13.4

Thursday 8 October 2026

• Fixed a bug where features where getting every stoppage (!)
• Work to add a new "waterway feature" for things that extend over several places. Prompted by the need to do something with the photos of the Calf Heath chemical works, but probably generally useful.

Friday 9 October 2026

• Completed the work on the new features.

→ Release 9.45.14

• Features where displaying detail text from the first place. Now fixed.
• Fixed adding navigational notes to features

→ Release 9.45.14.1
