  • New features:
    • New geocoder service -- we use Bing Maps to do our geocoding (convert street addresses to latitude and longitude), and we've changed to using a more robust service.

  • New features:
    • Improved search:
      • The new search panel allows you to search for addresses, regions, points, and blocks (i.e., streets and trails).

  • Developer notes:

[edit] Version 45 (2010-Jul-12)

    • Cyclopath is now available in Denver/Boulder, Colorado! Please forward our Colorado Introduction blurb to friends & family in that metro area.
  • New features:
    • New tab-based interface replaces the accordion on the left side of the screen. This change uses less screen real estate and is a step along the way to more general improvements in managing these information panels. (grpbug:1917)
  • Bug fixes:
    • Fix some scrolling and selection oddities for routes shared with Create Link (grpbug:1732, grpbug:1878).

    • Revision feedback now uses the discussions infrastructure within Cyclopath (grpbug:1720)
  • Bug fixes:
    • Add an explicit name dialog for regions (like points). Hopefully this will make it harder for folks to add and save "New Region" without realizing it. (grpbug:1795)

    • Removed "Region of the Day" since it saw little use
  • Developer notes:
    • New script schema-upgrade.py makes schema upgrades easier (grpbug:1763). You'll need to manually upgrade through 084-timezone.sql for it to work.
    • remove subdirectories of tilecache-cache and re-run tilecache-update.py
    • add INSTANCE environment variable to necessary scripts

[edit] Version 43 (2010-Apr-29)

  • New features:
    • Better handling of ambiguous locations: (a) include cities and neighborhoods in point searches - e.g., "post office marcy holmes" will find you the right Post Office, (b) bring better hits to top of results, and (c) eliminate "too many matches" error (grpbug:1465)

[edit] Version 42 (2010-Apr-14)

A very exciting upgrade! We are introducing three major new features: discussions, so you can now talk about stuff and link your conversations with the places (points, roads and trails, regions) that you're talking about; links to Cyclopath routes, so you can share with others the exact route Cyclopath found; and a new tool palette, which looks nicer and should be easier to use.

These involve lots of changes under the hood, so there's probably a few warts here and there. If you notice anything that seems amiss, please let us know right away and we'll fix it ASAP.

    • Fix rare case when tags can be applied multiple times to the same block (grpbug:1462).

[edit] Version 19 (2008-Sep-09)

[edit] 19.080911.20312 (9/11)

  • Bug fixes:
    • Saving works correctly for added/deleted vertices, even if the affected blocks have no other changes.

[edit] 19.080909.18563 (9/9)

  • New features:
    • Parts of the Cyclopath application can now be cached, making application load faster on 2nd and subsequent visits.
  • Bug fixes:
    • Dragging one endpoint of a block over the other no longer results in a block which can only be connected on one end (and as of R17 causes Error #2032 on save).
    • Endpoints of loop blocks can now be moved.
    • Add Vertex tool again allows dragging of newly added vertices.
    • The reauthenticate dialog (which appears if e.g. your IP address changes) will only appear once, not twice in some cases.
    • Polygons summarizing area of changes are more rounded (hence purtier).

[edit] Version 18 (2008-Aug-29)

  • First beta release.
  • Bug fixes:
    • Another "No response from the routing server" fix (e.g., "REI - Recreational Equipment Inc. (Roseville)" to "Rose Garden" now works).

[edit] Version 17 (2008-Aug-29)

  • New features:
    • "Sticky intersections" checkbox: you can now choose whether dragging and endpoint vertex brings along the whole intersection or not.
    • Several diffing improvements, including the ability to compare block notes.
  • Bug fixes:
    • Route finder:
      • One source of "No response from the routing server" fixed (e.g., "Rose Garden" to "Bruce Vento Sanctuary" now works).
      • If a location is not found, show an error message instead of a bizarre little empty window.
      • Display actual names of points, not the search string.
      • Routes found after a previous route-find that failed or was canceled will now use the new values, not the old ones.
    • About four dozen blocks were in a state where either end could be connected to other blocks, but not both. These blocks have been repaired: while they still might not be connected on both ends, it's now possible to fix this situation.
    • History browser: filter by visible area and watch region now work correctly.
    • Watch regions should now be sending e-mail again.

[edit] Version 16 (2008-Aug-26)

  • New features:
    • Various history browser improvements, including:
      • Can now view old revisions indefinitely far back.
      • Filter by "regions affecting visible area" is now the default.
    • Can now entirely disable watch region e-mail.
    • Splash screen.
  • Bug fixes:
    • Route finder now emits "Error #2032: Stream Error" less enthusiastically.
    • Watch region list no longer clears inappropriately.
    • Users will no longer get e-mail for changes made in development instances of Cyclopath (note that this may take a few days to percolate out to all the development instances).
    • Moving multiple vertices at once no longer requires holding down Control.
    • Accessing the server while it's down for maintenance now results in an error message instead of simply not working.

[edit] Version 15 (2008-Aug-23)

  • New features:
    • Show private information in the application with a different background color, to clarify the distinction.
    • Revision undo. You can now undo saved revisions made by yourself or others. This makes it easier to reverse erroneous or abusive edits.
    • Toggle watch region display on and off.
    • New geocoder.
      • We now use the Microsoft MapPoint service to translate addresses to locations. We hope that this will be more reliable and more accurate.
      • You can now route to user-entered points.
        • Note: this is slightly unreliable for the time being, but we hope to improve this quickly.
    • Double-clicking on a block now selects all vertices in that block.
  • Bug fixes:
    • Watch regions are somewhat less ugly.
    • Re-word route-finding importance sliders to be more clear.
    • Control-click on vertices does the right thing.
    • Deleting vertices now works reliably.
    • Endpoint vertices no longer snap to deleted blocks.
    • If speed limit, lane count, lane width, or shoulder width are unknown, show a blank field. Do not save zero when unknown or n/a is intended, and clean up such values which were previously saved.
    • Estimated ratings are not inappropriately lowered on certain blocks after save.

[edit] Version 14 (2008-Aug-11)

  • New features:
    • New block type "Sidewalk".

    • Add a help button which links to the user manual.
    • Can now split blocks at arbitrary points, not just existing vertexes.
  • Bug fixes:
    • De-emphasize purple comment indicator slightly in some zoom levels.
    • Can now snap to intersections created by Split Block tool.
    • Add Vertex tool no longer unchooses itself when clicking on an unselected block.

Note: Version 13 was not released.

[edit] Version 12 (2008-Aug-06)

  • New features:
    • If an address is ambiguous, offer choices rather than just being snooty.
  • Bug fixes:
    • Better choosing of "right" vs. "slight right" vs. "forward", etc.
    • Don't silently lock account when setting a password shorter than 6 characters (give error message).
    • Correct inconsistent naming of buttons in "More" Notes panel.
    • Fixed: Add Vertex tool adds vertices in the wrong place in some cases.
    • Deuglify alert dialogs.
    • Fixed: Cannot merge blocks that would otherwise be mergeable but which intersected deleted blocks.
    • Selection indicator looks better.
    • Avoid client exceptions in some cases when selecting objects and then zooming out.
    • Notes "More" panel:
      • Close button is back.
      • Goes away each time you select another block unless you're in add to/remove from mode.
    • UI improvements for Watch Region recent changes filter.
    • Better visual feedback for selecting vertices.

      • Important note: this makes the block details panel unresponsive when not viewing vectors.
    • Shift clicking is now more intuitive (hopefully).
      • It functions the same as before, except that when shift is first pressed, it picks the closest intersection as the anchor.
      • If no intersection is within range, then you must click to select an anchor (old behavior).
  • Bug fixes:
    • Change byway rating "Very Poor" to "Impassable" to more accurately reflect its meaning.
    • Bikeability ratings on newly added blocks are now saved.
    • Fix server crash related to saving merged blocks.

  • A few smaller bugfixes:
    • Button to see more details about a note renamed "more" (to be less confusing) and deuglified.
    • Selections will no longer turn black in some cases when selecting a large number of blocks.

[edit] Version 4 (2008-May-21)

  • Authentication changes:
    • Usernames are now case-insensitive.
    • Change security measures to be more portable. This should eliminate the log-in problems that people were having.
