Version

Client

Server

Configurator

4.0-beta10

14 Jul 2022

  • Completely new design of the Impact Tool (icon in top-right corner), now based on hierarchical edge bundling
  • Overhaul of communication with the server, now receiving updates through a separate websocket connection
  • Updated to Unity version 2020.3.31f1
  • Assorted smaller bug fixes
  • Overhaul of communication with the client, now sending updates through a separate websocket service
  • First introduction of Symfony 5.4 PHP framework (future versions will integrate with it much more strongly), which partially made the websocket service possible
  • Overhaul of Knowledge Base; now each layer has its own page with tabs explaining any sea basin specifics (rather than the other way around)
  • Knowledge Base also simply has more and more pages with relevant content
  • All default session configurations (North, Baltic, Adriatic Sea, North Sea Digitwin, Clyde Marine Region) now refer to many more relevant Knowledge Base pages
  • Refactor of the full platform installer, now using portable version of XAMPP, and of course now installing Symfony and all its dependencies
  • Altered format of the 'dependencies' object, required to feed the Impact Tool (see Client) with data. As a result configuration files developed/altered with Configuration Editor beta9 can unfortunately no longer be loaded in beta10. Read more about this on the installation page.
