v3.4.x Release Notes

Platform Changes

This release contains a major redevelopment for the offline capabilities of Peek.

There are significant performance and memory improvements to the vortex libraries and all plugins containing data indexes.

Major Plugin Changes

Introduction of the Diagram PDF Exporter plugin.

v3.4.0 introduces PDF export support for the DMS Network Diagram. This allows either the visible network or trace context to be exported as a PDF document which the user can then download. When the Trace Export is selected, the area of the network which contains the trace is exported. Alternatively, when Visible Network is selected, the area of the network visible to the user will be the area exported. Page size, orientation, and maximum pages can be set to customise the PDF.

v3.4.0 introduces Light Mode, this feature replaces the background of the network diagram with a white background and inverts only the colours necessary to be visible on a white background. The initial migration automatically detects and populates the light mode colours. The colours can be manually updated if required. Simply clicking the button in the network diagram will enable light mode, increasing the readability of the network diagram if required.

Deployment Changes

There are no deployment changes with this release.

Note

The windows deployment will change to use Windows Subsystem for Linux in a future release.

Migration Steps

OpenStreetMap Loader Lookups File Migration

  1. Locate the lookups.csv file. The file location can be found in the configuration tab of the OpenStreetMap Loader Loader in Peek Admin.

  2. Open the lookups.csv with a spreadsheet editor. Eg. Microsoft Excel

  3. Remove Point from the acceptedGeometries where isRoadName = TRUE. Eg. LineString, Point becomes Linestring

  4. Duplicate all rows where isRoadName = TRUE.

  5. In the original rows; Update the option.isRoadName to FALSE.

  6. In the new duplicated rows:

    1. Append the importHash value with _road_name. Eg. osm:highways:motorway1 becomes osm:highways:motorway1_road_name

    2. Increment the level.order value by 1.

  7. Restart Peek Agent sudo systemctl restart peek_agent

  8. Touch the geojson file. The file location can be found in the configuration tab of the OpenStreetMap Loader Loader in Peek Admin.

    touch [GEOJSON FILE NAME]

Note

Synerty recommends running the Initial Load Attune Blueprint for faster loading of the PowerOn data. You can download the Attune Community Addition App for Windows or MacOS FOR FREE from www.servertribe.com
