The following list of updates and bug fixes are included in the latest Sprint 24.05 release to the FEWS NET Data Platform.
New Features
Heat extremes data transformation and upload (DATA-3769)
...
Adding heat extremes to the base layer options
Adding a NO_DATA option for base layers
Adding a default_period_date parameter that sets the initial period date if available
Adding specific layer priority so lower admin levels are always shown on top
Adding autoplay to the time slider, to be implemented after updates to the IOM data
Updates
Handle Forgotten Passwords in FDE (DATA-2853)
...
FDE now identifies geographic units with spatial data in the Spatial domain. The map visualization will render only for geographic units containing spatial data, and the user is notified if they have selected one or more geographic units that do not contain spatial data.
Implement regular check of the country group CKAN nodes (DATA-3626)
A monitoring CheckTask ensures that CKAN country group nodes are published when collections for all countries in the region for the same collection date have been published in FDW, and that the relevant dataset exists.
Add seasonal activity data source document to the crop metadata endpoint (DATA-3725)
Now that FDW includes seasonal crop activity dates (such as the start and end of planting or harvest), the crop metadata endpoint will retrieve the data source document, indicating the external partner crop calendars used for these activity dates.
FIPE Filters Review (DATA-3781)
Several changes were made following a review of the Acute Food Insecure Population Estimates domain page in FDE, including:
Fixed a metadata error occurring on load
Removed the Scenario filter
Ensured

Removed the documents filter from the FIC domain page
Improvements to “FEWS NET Latest” widget in FDE and homepage layout (DATA-3792)
...
A user’s most recent search criteria will no longer be retained when reloading the page, moving between domain pages, or between sessions in the FDE.
Bugs
Changes to Market names not reflecting in MarketProducts (DATA-3249)
Changes made to Zimbabwe market names in FDW were reflected in the Markets extract, but not when exporting the list of related MarketProducts. Changes in Market names are now reflected in the MarketProducts API exports.
Season Date and Year Broken (DATA-3798)
FDW was incorrectly calculating the season_date
and season_year
field for seasonal crop activity data. The cpcv2
code and crop_production_system
columns are now used to merge the data frames and correctly calculate the season_date
and season_year
in relation to the period_date
and start_date
fields.
