The Delft-FEWS 2020.02 stable version is available!

The most remarkable developments in this 2020.02 are the backend improvements of the Master Controller, the webservice improvements and the extension of the Dashboard functionality.

Around 140 (!) new features have been implemented in this new version. The Master Controller backend component has received a lot of attention. The installation and configuration of this vital component has been improved and structured better by making use of a consistent scheme (XSD) comparable to Operator Client configuration files. By reorganizing the code the functional component is separated from the support and troubleshoot tools, the so-called MC-Tools. The other backend component, the Admin Interface now has additional functionality for uploading a complete client configuration (as a zip file). The corresponding Admin Interface API has been extended with similar functionalities so both through the Admin Interface web GUI as well as through the Admin Interface API the same results can be obtained.

At the frontend (client) side, around 15 new data imports and more than 10 new data-transformation types have been added. The most popular displays: the map, the timeseries display and the spatial display have been improved with features like additional on-the-fly statistics, log-scale plots, improved y-scaling options and easy (un)hiding timeseries from a plot using the legend. And last but not least: the dashboard display is equipped with timeseries plots to show both spatial maps and graphs on a dashboard which is now very easily shared with your colleagues who are logged in to the same system!
