Release Notes

Detailed release notes are available on internal wiki.

Release notes summaries on this page:

Developed a new way of creating new Digital Fishers campaigns. See the Digital Fishers Campaign List item on the Tools menu. This should make it easier for non-programmers to create and test campaigns in the future before deploying them. Further improvements will be coming later.

Improved the rendering of hydrophone spectrograms when using the PDF format.
Improved the contents of Data Search failure e-mails to include data options and site information.
When data products are generated, now the status will change to "Completed" only after both the data product and metadata report have been generated.
Sped up production of COVIS and BioSonics data products where the files already exist in the archives.

Improved the QAQC section of metadata reports to show the test limits (attribute values) in some cases.
Finished implementing Observatory level QAQC tests for all observatories (rather than just VENUS).

In Task Monitor, tasks that cannot be cancelled while running now have their check box disabled so you cannot attempt to cancel them. As well, jobs that are in the process of being cancelled can be found by checking the new "Cancelling" checkbox in the filter area.
Changed SensorCode to SensorName in SNMP traps from junction boxes.
In the Junction Box Alarm page, the tabs are now in order of J number rather than breaker number.
Made additional improvements to support the eventual switch to the Cassandra database.
Developed a parser for the SCIMPI device.
Modified the Site Maintenance page to handle mobile devices, such as devices mounted on ferries and drifting buoys.
Improved the Omegabus transmitter driver/parser.
Developed a UDP simulator for the Nikon camera.
Developed a new parser for the Wetlabs ECO-FLS.

Prepared Data Search to handle the data products for the new SCIMPI device deployed to Clayoquot Slope (running autonomously for now) but will not be made searchable until the data is ready.
Added additional data products for hydrophones, including .wav and .mp3 audio, .png and .pdf spectrograms, and .mp4 videos to show moving spectrograms with sound. Note that only limited videos are available at this time.

Added a new feature to allow data files to be annotated with QAQC (quality flag) information. This can be done using the File Upload page (not yet on the menus but available to privileged users at dmas.uvic.ca/FileUpload) or by FTP. At this time the flags are only internal but will affect the QAQC information in data products in a later release.
Added the initial code to support allowing Observatory level QAQC tests to be created for any observatory (currently only supports VENUS).
Created a "Station Area Range Test" formula for Station level QAQC tests.
