Changes 3.1.5 (in development)

Changes 3.1.4

  • Updated to new keycloak version

Changes 3.1.3

  • Changed the time until the message is shown that Cate will automatically shut down due to inactivity. Message is shown after 25% of server's auto-shutdown time. (#150)

  • Show last remote container status after connection to server closed unexpectedly and give hint to users how to limit harm. (#150)

  • Added button "Click here in case you need support" to start screen that refers to the ESA Helpdesk page. (#181)

Changes 3.1.2

  • Fixed issue where no data sources were shown right after start. (#56)

Changes 3.1.1

  • Added hint in DATA SOURCES panel addressing the case where loading seems to take forever.

  • Now displaying a warning dialog when there is not much time left until the Cate backend service will automatically shut down due to service inactivity. (#164)

  • If connection is closed, there are now two different message boxes. depending on whether the server was automatically shutdown or the connection closed unexpectedly.

  • Outputting more information to investigate into unintentionally closed WebSocket connections:

    • Allow toasts to stay longer for such errors (2 minutes).
    • Provide more details on the console.

  • No longer attempt to load in scratch workspaces at startup (avoid error message).

Changes 3.1.0

  • Adapted to Cate Web API 3.1.x which changed in an incompatible way. Dataset descriptors now have a data_type field instead of a type_specifier field in 3.0.x.
  • Revert workaround from previous release that prevented user logins once a certain server-side degree of capacity utilisation was reached. (#156)

Changes 3.0.1

  • Implemented a workaround for an issue that prevented user logins once a certain server-side degree of capacity utilisation was reached. (#156)

Changes 3.0.0

  • 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.
    • Cate now utilizes dataset capabilities such as the ability to create spatial or temporal subsets in the "Open Data Source" dialog. In case a dataset has no such capabilities, we compute them from the dataset's metadata, if possible.

  • 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.

  • Other:

    • Simplified Dockerfile which now uses a 2-stage build.
    • No longer require .env.production and .env.local files because all settings now have reasonable defaults.
    • Removed phrase "please check .cate/webapi.log" from some error messages, because users have no longer access to log files.
    • Renamed "About" tab in Preferences Dialog into "System". There we now also display the versions of Cate's core Python package dependencies.

Changes 2.2.3

  • 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. Such data sources disable the "Open" button and display a popup 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.

    • we now provide a link to the Helpdesk of the ESA Climate Office instead of the issue tracker.

  • Made app compliant to EU GDPR. (#131)
