Change Log¶

All notable changes to GAPS and its web applications will be documented in this file.

2024.297¶

Added¶

Allow an active location tab in OriginLocatorView v2 to be able to start with an artificial origin if the event list is empty.

2024.292¶

Added¶

Added parameter HTTP.maxLineCharacters to control the maximum number of characters per HTTP request header line. The default configuration is usually sufficient but if webservers inject custom cookies into the request then gaps might fail. This settings can fix the error “too many characters (>= 500) on request”.

2024.263¶

Changed¶

Apply new default value “@DATADIR@/gaps/apps/2” for the configuration parameter mediaDirectory. Apply “@DATADIR@/gaps/apps/” when installing from the older packages “gaps-frontends” or “gaps-frontends-all”.

2024.183¶

Fixed¶

Fix description section for scheme.colors.gm.gradient which was accidentally added to scheme.colors.originSymbol..

2024.180¶

Fixed¶

Fix regression from 2024.179 which prevents EQView from loading the configuration.

2024.179¶

Added¶

Add configuration of ground motion and quality control (delay, latency) color gradient.
```
scheme.colors.gm.gradient = ...
scheme.colors.qc.gradient = ...
```

Add configuration of ground motion value unit.

# This will select the desired output unit shown in the web
# frontends. The configured color gradient is w.r.t. values
# in this unit.
scheme.colors.gm.unit = m/s**2

Respect configured ground motion unit in StationView v2.

2024.171¶

Added¶

Forward map pen.style attribute in geofeatures to allow rendering non-solid (e.g. dashed) borders.

Added¶

Add support for thumbnail parameter in gaps.idx files for web applications. This can be used in a custom index template.

```
# Use a different event region than the initial map region
apps.eqview.widget.abc.eventRegion = 20x40+45-8
```

2023.174¶

2022-07-13¶

Fixed¶

Support environment variables with tileLayers.*.db

2022-07-11¶

Added¶

Added additional tile layer configuration. In order to provide higher detailed maps in certain areas it is now possible to define a mbtiles database for particular zoom levels and bounding rects. An example configuration looks like this:
```
tileLayers = myarea
tileLayers.myarea {
    db = /path/to/map.mbtiles
    levels = 11:16
    rects = +2048+2048+2064+2064
}
```

2022-05-17¶

Changed¶

Update documentation on installation and setup

2022-04-28¶

2022-04-27¶

Added¶

Fetch event type list and event type certainty list from server

2022-04-26¶

Fixed¶

Read spatial vector data from standard vector directory of the corresponding SeisComP release

OriginLocatorView fetches known event types from backend and presents a sorted list
Frontends v2 do respect colorByAge settings.

Fixed¶

v1 frontends used a wrong maximum age value of 210 days instead of 1 month. This has been fixed. All events older than 30 days are being rendered in gray now.

2022-04-14¶

Added¶

Add install instructions for basic setup and web server integration

Fixed¶

Typos and default values in description XML

2022-03-17¶

Added¶

```

2022-02-23¶

Fixed¶

Fixed typo in description: showWidgetsBounds -> showWidgetBounds

2022-02-21¶

Fixed¶

Fixed display of region bound rectangle. Due to a regression the initial map region bound in eqview was always shown and not the widget region bounds. As both behaviors are desirable, an additional configuration option has been introduced: apps.eqview.showWidgetBounds. To enable the old behavior, set
```
apps.eqview.showWidgetBounds = true
```
which takes precedence over apps.eqview.showRegionBounds.

2022-01-10¶

Changed¶

Add reasonable ITAPER() to default filters for optimizing data filtering
Update documentation

2021-10-07¶

Changed¶

Fixed¶

Fix handling of empty server responses in Web applications. This is important for QuakeLink servers which are configured with a long poll timeout.

2019-09-24¶

Changed¶

Remove tile db configuration from default configuration in order that the global configuration is not overridden by default. This change might break existing installations that does not set the tileDB parameter in the configuration file explicitly. To fix the issue add the following line to the GAPS configuration.
```
tileDB = @DATADIR@/gaps/zoom12.mbtiles
```
Alternatively, the map location can be also defined in the global or GAPS configuration file with
```
map.location = @DATADIR@/gaps/zoom12.mbtiles
```

2019-04-26¶

Added¶

Play EQView audio alerts in a loop

Fixed¶

Fixed ITAPER() filter which caused invalid data

2019-01-22¶

Fixed map centering in OriginLocatorView. Sometimes the map is centered 360 degrees left of the event or right of it so that it looks like the event is not shown at all.

2019-01-15¶

Added¶

Added configurable reference place to which the distance and azimuth of the currently selected event is calculated and shown in the details

2018-12-21¶

Changed¶

Upgraded critical external web components to latest version

2018-04-05¶

Fixed¶

Report correct content-type for URL directories, e.g. localhost/stationview/. Not reporting it prevents Google Chrome from rendering the page.

2018-03-07¶

Fixed¶

Fixed connection state in StationView which was shown always as disconnected once a connection to QuakeLink returned with an error even after a reconnect.

2018-03-05¶

Fixed¶

If the maximum bound rectangle is given (apps.mapRegion.*) then station symbols are placed in the map that way that they are inside this rectangle. E.g., setting the rectangle’s longitude range from 0 to 360 will center the map at 180 degrees and add station symbols left and right of the date line.

2018-02-26¶

Added¶

Added EQView configuration parameter apps.eqview.externalData which allows to show external (with respect to the local inventory) referenced waveform data. This parameter is by default true. If set set to false then only stations which are part of the local inventory, which have bindings and which are associated with the shown event will be added to the list of traces.

2018-02-20¶

Fixed¶

Fixed waveform acquisition over HTTP which sometimes resulted in an interrupted data stream. Although the stream recovered by requesting the data again, the behavior was caused by a bug.

2018-01-31¶

Fixed¶

Disable database usage only if inventory and config XML files are given

2017-02-01¶

Fixed¶

apps.mapview.customStationLink = "http://geofon.gfz-potsdam.de/fdsnws/station/1/query?network=${net}&station=${sta}&level=resp&format=sc3ml"
