Version 2.1.0-dev.0

  • Simplified development configuration ./cate-config.js (see template ./cate-config.template.js). Instead of

    module.exports = {  
    webAPIConfig: {
        servicePort: 9090,
        serviceAddress: '',
        serviceProtocol: 'http',
        serviceFile: 'webapi-info.json',
    },
    // ...
};

    you now write

    module.exports = {  
    webAPIConfig: {
        serviceURL: 'http://localhost:9090',
        serviceFile: 'webapi-info.json',
    },
    // ...
};

Changes in 0.9.0

UX Improvements and new Features

  • The Download Data Source dialog opened from the DATA SOURCES panel has been simplified and now produces a new workflow step which calls operation open_dataset(..., force_local=True) #366. Like for any other operation step, users can be inspect and edit input values and re-invoke the operation any time later from the WORKSPACE panel #314.
  • On the Abstract tab of the DATA SOURCES panel show information about spatial and temporal coverage.
  • Enable the Show data in table action only for resources of type type DataFrame.
  • To speed up loading of workspaces, workflow steps can now be persistent: When a workspace is saved, all persistent steps that produce resources of type Dataset write their current resources to a <workspace-dir>/.cate-workspace/<resource_name>.nc file. When the workspace is reopened, such resource for persistent steps are read from file rather than being computed by the step's operation. To set the new persistence property of a step, click the Workflow Step Properties button in the WORKSPACE panel.
  • Improved display of workflow step inputs in WORKSPACE panel:
    • display the units of an operation input value, if any
    • display the default value, if any, if an operation input is not given
  • Improved styling for the TASKS panel and the task section of the Status Bar:
    • improve overall layout of task entries
    • more padding to separate the individual entries
    • prevent Close button from growing vertically
    • add space between the progress bar and the cancel button
    • replace too big spinner icon in Status Bar with a small progressbar
    • add details action to failed tasks
  • The VIEW panel now has a checkbox Split selected image layer. If selected, the selected image layer can be vertically split, where only the left side of the split remains visible.
  • Improvements for the DATA SOURCES panel:
    • To simplify data access for new users, there is now only one primary action for both the local and the esa_cci_odp data stores: Open Local Dataset and Download Data Source. The latter can now also open the dataset after download or open from remote (using OPeNDAP).
    • Edit fields for the constraints such as time range, region, variable names are now collapsible.
  • Plots can now have a title
  • Currently visible variable layers and their indexers are now shown as overlay in 3D Globe view. The overlay can be turned off in the VIEWS panel.
  • Added an Copy to Clipboard action in WORKSPACE panel which is used to copy the workflow steps to JSON, Python script, and shell script.
  • Figure views now have scrollbars.
  • Various improvements for the DATA SOURCES panel:
    • Displaying human-readable data source titles retrieved from the data catalogue of the CCI ODP.
    • New details view which shows the abstract and a button to open the related CCI ODP catalogue page
    • Open Dataset Dialogs titles are now either "Open Local Dataset" or "Open Remote Dataset (via OPeNDAP)"
    • Download button now always disabled for the "local" data store
    • Open and download dialogs now use "Lon. from/to" and "Lat. from/to" rather than "W", "E", "S", "N"
  • Improved the default placeholder text for geometry fields
  • Operation dialog shows operation name in title
  • Double-click on list elements now invokes the primary action (the blue button). Note, there is still an issue with double-clicks on already selected items. Double-clicks should now work for DATA SOURCE panel, OPERATIONS panel, and variable selection dialogs.
  • The details tables of the DATA SOURCES panel and WORKSPACE panel now have a ... button to show long values in a pop-up window.
  • In VARIABLES panel, we now display all (meta-info) attributes of the selected variable.

Fixes

  • "Window" sub-menu is empty #362
  • Splash screen must not stay on top #363
  • Make alpha blending work for all color maps #360
  • GUI-Preferences for data store files do not overwrite conf.py #350
  • Fixed date input components (for a single date and for date ranges) used in diverse places. Now a simple text input field is used. #303 and #335
  • Only persist the parameter values for the Time and Region constraints in the Open Local Dataset and Download Data Source dialogs of the DATA SOURCES panel. #307 and #308
  • Fix handling and formatting of date ranges #313.
  • The resource switch in the OPERATION STEP dialog is only enabled when the drop-down box would contain any compatible resource #310.
  • Only show lat/lon values when mouse is over globe #312.
  • Prevent a 2nd (and 3rd) invocation of the variable statistics computation
  • Fixed in the WORKSPACE panel the details table for dataset attributes, table was always empty.
  • Fixed a problem with the Download Data Source dialog opened from DATA SOURCES panel. It always used the last local data source name, although a different remote data source has been selected.
  • 2D map / 3D globe layer containing country borders now works.
  • Fixed a severe bug where Cate Desktop was unable to find the matching ~/.cate/<version> directory. (Problem was a bug in conversion from PEP440 to SemVer version strings.)
  • Fixed a problem with non-editable variable names field in Download Dataset and Open Dataset dialogs opened from the DATA SOURCES panel.

Changes in 0.8.0

UX Improvements

  1. Changed the inital position and visibility of tool panels to better reflect the envisaged cate workflow
    • DATA SOURCES - top left
    • OPERATIONS - bottom left
    • WORKSPACE - top right
    • VARIABLES - bottom right
  2. All action buttons now have tooltips
  3. PLACEMARK panel now has now three modes to copy position:
    • <lon>,<lat>
    • lon=<lon>,lat=<lat>
    • POINT (<lon>,<lat>)
  4. On backend errors, users can now copy error message with Cate version info to clipboard
  5. The Workflow tab showing workflow steps in the WORKSPACE panel is now the primary tab. Selecting a workflow steps also selects its output resource.
  6. Use letters as initial placemark names.
  7. Added PLACEMARKS panel, which provides a simple placemark management
    • add placemark (by clicking on globe)
    • add placemark (by globe center coordinate)
    • remove selected placemark
    • copy name + coordinate to clipboard
  8. WORKSPACE panel improvements:
    • For easier access to plots, matplotlib figure views can now be opened using a dedicated button.
    • Two new buttons added: Delete resource and Clean workspace.
    • All action buttons are now available for both resources and workflow steps.
  9. If an operation produces a resource of type Figure, it will be initially shown in a plot view. This default behaviour can be disabled from main menu under File/Preferences.
  10. Cate now displays messages in toasts - lightweight, ephemeral notices in direct response to a user's action.
  11. The details part of an error message (e.g. Python stack traceback) can now be copied to clipboard.
  12. Added simple About Box.
  13. Fixed layout problem in LAYERS panel, where sliders where outside visible panel area.
  14. Fixed problem where last window size was not restored from user preferences.
  15. devToolsOpened is now a user preference rather than a configuration property.
  16. Fixed a problem where rows were missing in the Meta-Info table of the DATA SOURCES panel.
  17. Fixed problem where no open dialog was displayed after pressing the Open or Download buttons in the DATA SOURCES panel (in the logs: DateRangeInput value cannot be null).
  18. Fixed bug where the selected placemark is misplaced after CesiumView is remounted
  19. Operation step inputs can now be edited an re-executed: In WORKSPACE panel, select Steps, select a step, and click the Edit button.
  20. matplotlib figures returned from various plot operations can now be displayed with some limited interactions like zooming and panning:
    1. In OPERATIONS panel, select a plot() operation step, and press Apply
    2. In VIEW panel, click new view Figure button
  21. Views can now be positioned. Click a view's More Menu (...) and select Move Before or Move After. Later on, this will be possible via drag and drop.
  22. Fixed problem where existence of ~/.cate was not checked before it was accessed.
  23. Fixed problem where a variable's image layer settings were gone after selecting another variable. Such layer settings are now stored in user preferences store, so that they are available in the next Cate session.

Fixes

  1. Fixed problem with numeric input fields which accepted only integer values rather than floats (ONGOING)
  2. Fixed bug where two clicks were required to create a new placemark
  3. Removed the non-functional dummy menu from left/right tool panel headers.
  4. Fixed validation of variable names when there is no resource with variables to to compare with
  5. Fixed problem where numeric/text inputs in modal dialogs where not accepted (root cause was continued 3D globe position display in status bar)
  6. Fixed copy position to clipboard, which copied name instead
  7. fixed problem where Cate backend couldn't be started (cause: wrong stdio config for node's child_process.spawn())
  8. fixed problem where Cate backend couldn't be stopped (cause: the backend was invoked without activated Python env)
