3.0.0-dev.1

Changes 3.0 (in development)

• Cate App 3.0 now requires the Web API service of the cate 3.0+
  Python package.

• In order to keep alive the connection to the Web API service,
  Cate App now sends a keepalive signal every 2.5 seconds. (#150)

• For faster opening of datasets, the value of the currently selected
  data store data_store_id is now passed to the open_dataset
  operation.

• Fixed a bug with user preferences not being saved correctly. (#146)

• Optimisations in the DATA SOURCES panel (that have been enabled by
  using xcube in the backend):

  • Initialising the "CCI Open Data Portal" data store
    is now accelerated by a magnitude.
  • Local caching of remote data sources when opening datasets
    is now much faster and more reliable.
  • Added new experimental store "CCI Zarr Store" that offers
    selected CCI datasets that have been converted to Zarr format
    and are read from JASMIN object storage.
  • Ability to add more data stores has been greatly improved.
  • Enhanced the "Open Dataset" dialog by messages that tell
    why a certain constraint is not (yet) available.
  • Fixed icons and labels for some new CCI ECVs.

• We now obtain Cate Hub's status information from a dedicated GitHub
  repository cate-status.

• Adapted to changed cate-hub API. (An API response no longer has
  status and result properties, instead a response is the result,
  and the response status is represented by the HTTP response code.)

• Improved rendering of text in many places by making it user-selectable
  and interpreting it as markdown:

  • Data source abstract in the DATA SOURCES details panel:
  • Operation description in OPERATIONS panel.

2.2.3

Changes 2.2.3 (dev)

• Fixed a problem that prevented using Matomo Analytics service.

Changes 2.2.2

• Fixed various issues regarding user preferences:
  • Fixed a problem that prevented storing the last workspace path in
    user preferences.
  • Fixed problem in preferences dialog that prevented applying the new
    settings.
  • Removed some preferences settings that no longer apply
    in the Cate App web application.
• Added version tags for UI and API to main toolbox page and service
  selection page.
• The read_zarr operation is now using type "password" for its key,
  secret, and token parameters.
• The DATA SOURCES panel has been updated:
  • Fixed deferred effect of checkbox "Show identifiers".
  • Added checkbox "All data sources" that will display all ODP datasets.
  • Added warn icon to those datasets that cannot be opened from store.

    instead. The popup informs the user how to manually download and open
    the datasets.
  • The data Open Dialog no longer displays
    • the region constraint, if a dataset has no spatial coordinates;
    • the cached option, if a dataset cannot be cached.
  • Displaying a data source's data type, if given, in its list item.
  • Fixed crash on double-clicking a list item with no selection.
• Using term "sandboxed file system" instead of "user root" in about box.
• In help menu,
  • we now provide a link to the Helpdesk of the
    ESA Climate Office instead of the issue tracker.

  list was initially empty. (#132)
• Using clearer terminology in the data sources panel.
