August 2024 Release Notes
The following list of updates and bug fixes are included in the latest Sprint 24.07 release to the FEWS NET Data Platform.
New features
Add Market Function data for Haiti using market shapefile and road shapefile (DATA-3928)
FDW can ingest geospatial data for markets and the trade flow routes between them, as well as the classification of how well the market routes are functioning.
Updates
Prevent deletion of FDW accounts (DATA-3661)
In order to ensure that user identifiers cannot be reused, delete privileges have been removed from the database owner on the auth_user table and there is a trigger on auth_user that prevents deletion.
Automated checks for Crop data quality (DATA-3737)
A new pipeline can conduct automated checks on data loaded to FDW, including domain-specific checks such as for Crop data.
Enable UnpublishSpatialDatasets task on GeographicUnitSetVersion delete (DATA-3768)
Deleted Geographic Unit Set Versions in FDW will be automatically unpublished in order to show only up-to-date spatial datasets in CKAN and the CMS.
Add ImageField to the Country model to store country flag image (DATA-3782)
A new image field can store country flag images from the Country FDW admin screen.
Add date filters to FDE IPC Domains (DATA-3871)
Data can now be filtered by Start date and End date in the FDE’s Acute Food Insecurity Classifications Domain and the Acutely Food Insecure Population Estimates Domain.
Add Semi-Structured Domain permissions to FDW (DATA-3884)
Permissions can automatically be added to a new Semi-Structured Domain in FDW by adding individuals or groups to the Object Permissions under the Document Type.
Implement dynamic filter to SemiStructuredDataSeriesViewSet and SemiStructuredDataPointViewSet (DATA-3910)
The API now has dynamic filters for SemiStructuredDataSeriesViewSet and SemiStructuredDataPointViewSet with metadata fields based on the DocumentType.metadata_schema object. This allows the results to be filtered by one or more selected metadata types.
Add data_usage_policy filter to data series endpoints (DATA-3934)
The API can now filter data series by their data_usage_policy.
Bugs
FDE bug fixes
Bug fixes for the FEWS NET Data Explorer were completed through the following tickets:
Links to domains in the My top pages widget of the FDE home page were not working. The widget now provides working links to the expected domains (DATA-3397).
Resolved the issue of filters being retained from the Exchange Rates Domain to the Secondary Price Indexes, Calculated Price Ratios, and Calculated Price Indexes Domains (DATA-3876).
Consolidated the functionality of the Geographic and Market filters in the Exchange Rates Domain. Markets or countries can now be selected under the Geographic filter (DATA-3909).
Fixed the “Updating” indicator to appear as expected in the Prices Domain (DATA-3976)
The Start date and End date filters were not being applied correctly in the extract when data series were selected individually. Data extracts now filter by date as expected (DATA-3982).
Corrected the link to the FEWS NET Facebook page in the FEWS NET Latest widget (DATA-3945).
Remove the popup window shown when changing password in FDW (DATA-3966)
An unnecessary popup window appeared when selecting to change your password in FDW. The popup window has now been removed.
