The following list of features, updates, and bug fixes are included in the latest Sprint 24.11 release to the FEWS NET Data Platform.
New features
Update FDW to allow Data Collections to be used as an inventory of files (DATA-4189)
The FDW data model can now be used as a flexible data inventory of resources such as files or URLs. Resources can be associated with Data Collections without requiring Data Series or Data Points.
Updates
Implement a broken link check report for CKAN (DATA-2933)
...
The TopoJSON and FDW-generated Shapefile formats supported in the FDW API are now available as export options for spatial data in FDE.
Fix API for extracting Shapefiles for global LHZ boundaries (DATA-3874)
The global LHZ spatial boundaries could be extracted in KML and GeoJSON, but failed for Shapefiles due to a character restriction for the column names. The API can now generate a global LHZ Shapefile with column names that match the columns in the global Shapefile on the FEWS NET website.
Add submitted_by field to HTML metadata endpoint (DATA-4089)
Added the submitted_by field to the HTML endpoint of the API as it was only appearing in the JSON format. The field was also added to the Data Point extracts as an additional field for Crop Production Indicator and facts.
More descriptive column names in FDE Data Series tables (DATA-4178)
...
A new layer of IOM migration data is available for selection (DATA-4115)
The time slider now indicates which period dates contain data for the selected layer (DATA-4193)
