Full Changelog: v7.1...v7.2

January 2024 v7.1

What's Changed

• Minor bugfixes and improved error reporting (#917, #918, #921)
• Updated Census loader to handle 2021 LODES (#923)

Full Changelog: v7.0...v7.1

November 2023 v7.0

• Adds time-to-nearest nth facility ("dual" accessibility) metrics as an experimental feature (#884). See "guides" section of Conveyal documentation for details.
• Provides more regular and detailed updates on regional analysis progress, helping keep cloud workers active when analyses are queued up (#874).
• Shifts travel time sampling points to better correspond with destination densities (#894). This change will alter results relative to past versions of the R5 routing engine. With related user interface changes, older versions of R5 will now result in slightly offset isochrones.
• Ensures that results are readily comparable within the web interface when regional analysis bounds are reused in a subsequent analysis (#897, #898)
• Improves shapefile upload and validation (#868, #872). Geojson uploads are coming soon.
• Improves GTFS upload and validation (#869, #870, #873).
• Updates R5 to use the latest Java LTS version (21), ensuring security and stability updates over the long term.

While APIs exposed by this version have not changed significantly, we have incremented the major version number to reflect the following changes:

• Network files created with this version are incompatible with previous versions due to new bounding box objects
• Travel time and accessibility results will be slightly different due to destination sample point changes
• We have shifted to a new build and runtime environment (new JDK/JRE LTS version)

• Zoom levels: #807, #813, #820
• Add an endpoint for deleting tasks by @trevorgerhardt in #814
• Clarify third-party support and versioning in README by @ansoncfit in #817

• Limit number of error/warning/info messages by @abyrd in #845
• Disallow travel through barrier nodes by @abyrd in #841, #848

Full Changelog: v6.7...v6.8

April 2022 v6.7

• View your network's street and transit layer details on a map with vector tiles
• Preview Data Sources on the map, and upload new data source types
• Use Data Sources in custom street modifications for road congestion, slope-adjusted biking times, ridehail service, custom cycling level of traffic stress, and more (experimental) (#782)
• Handle transfers to uncommon route patterns (such as "loop" and "lollipop" routes) more realistically (#763)
• Fix a bug that applied walking time limits to non-walk (e.g. bike) requests (#787)
• Reduce computation time when egress modes are changed and transit is toggled on and off (#789)

February 2022 v6.6

• Tolerate large GTFS geographic extents
• Accept extended GTFS route_types
• Improve fault injection for testing

• Save and Undo changes to modifications.
• Inspect travel times to specific destinations, with the improved destination marker (click in the travel time legend)
• Avoid certain timing errors on connections experiencing high latency to our central servers.

May 2021 v6.4
