v2.0.x Upgrade Notes

Changes

Peek Desktop

The Peek Desktop has had a face lift, the unsightly side bar has been slimmed down and neatened up.

The scroll bars should not appear any longer.

DocDB Plugin

The DocDB plugin has new information popups:

  • Tooltip
  • Summary
  • Details

These popups are triggered via the DocDB APIs from other plugins.

Search Plugin

The Peek search has been revamped:

  • It now shows as a modal.
  • The search results have been cleaned up
  • The search results now show actions from the DocDB plugin popups

Diagram Generic Menu

This plugin has been renamed from “peek_plugin_generic_diagram_menu” to peek_plugin_docdb_generic_menu” as it now operates on the new DocDB popups.

Diagram

The diagram plugin has the following changes.

VIEW Updates:

  • The top left button now lets users select the Coord Set
  • The draw that used to load on the right hand side is now gone. The diagram instead triggers tooltip and summary popups from DocDB.

EDIT Updates:

  • Edit support now highlights a templates as just one object.
  • Edit support now lets you rotate a templates
  • New templates placed on the diagram are no longer invisible.

Diagram Positioner

The old peek_plugin_gis_dms_positioner plugin has been resurected. This plugin now uses the DocDB popups, shows locate on actions

using the coord-set names, and is smart enough to not show locate actions for the current coord-set.

This replaces the old method of just using the result sof peek-core-search.

Diagram Loaders

All diagram loaders no longer load positions into the search db.

Platform Frontend

This release has upgraded the following major libraries

  • Angular from v6.x to v8.x
  • Typescript from v2.7.x to v3.4.x
  • Other smaller npmjs dependencies, such as rxjs
  • An introduction of ng.ant.design, Bootstrap will be phased out.

Platform Backend

The Peek Admin UI now requires a login.

LDAP Configuration settings must be migrated manually
