Features

This enhancement is about adding a validation error message that states: The index component must have data points for the base period, which notifies the user that the index component does not have data for the given base period as shown below ;

This feature adds an additional field to the option tab to allow the users to select the indicators they want and USD per domestic currency should be the default indicator selected.

This feature is about generating fewer queries which helps the system to perform faster exchange rate calculations.

This feature is about enhancing the /api/ endpoint (i.e http://fdw.fews.net/api/) to only show the
the semi-structured data series end points for users who have access.

This feature enhanced the search in the Exchange Rate data series endpoint (/api/exchangerate) so that it used all country currency assignments instead of just the country assigned to the Data Series. For example: https://fdw.fews.net/api/exchangeratevalue/?format=html&country=ethiopia ,
https://fdw.fews.net/api/exchangeratevaluefacts/?format=html&country_code=ET , and
https://fdw.fews.net/api/exchangerate/?format=html&country_code=ET

This feature is about setting the status Interpolated for the Interpolated Data Points values , for instance; https://fdw.fews.net/api/marketpricefacts/?format=csv&schedule=Monthly&dataseries=761&fields=simple&interpolate

This enhancement is about allowing the inclusion and ordering of the geographic fields (i.e geographic_group, fewsnet_region, country, admin_1, admin_2, market, longitude and latitude ) in the API end points of the exchange rate extracts:

This task was about disabling the Drupal node creation for a data collection that does not contain any data. Therefore there should no longer be nodes published if there is no data attached.

This task was about correcting the caching for the PNG links of the Drupal nodes, so that the correct PNGs show up and quickly when clicked.

The system was incorrectly showing the value of the last day of the month which was used for the calculating the percentage change values of one month, one year and five-year when a daily collection schedule was aggregated and this was resolved.

Enketo reports the support email as support@example.org, which was not the correct email, and so this now redirects to the email helpdesk@fews.net .

There was a performance issue in rendering the individual country IPC data on the COVID-19 map via the fews.net website and this was resolved.

There was an issue in attaching images to FEWS NET Kobo Toolbox server and this was resolved .

There was an error in creating a calculated index (i.e., https://fdw.fews.net/en/admin/price/calculatedindex/add/) and this was resolved and the functionality is working as expected.

There was an issue in creating dataset from the admin page of the FDW (https://fdw.fews.net/en/admin/price/pricedataset/add/) i.e it was allowing 10 records of data series to be selected at a time and this was resolved and the functionality is working as expected.
