Change Log

2024.191

Added

  • Automatically load and display events and picks on traces

Fixed

  • Time rulers now show consistent dates

  • Reduced the amount of redraws when advancing the time

2024.156

Added

  • Allow generating aliases of vortex for separate configuration and execution by new init script ‘$SEISCOMP_ROOT/etc/init/vortex.py’. Example:

    seiscomp alias create l1vortex vortex
    

    The script will only become fully functional with SeisComP in version > 6.4. By then, enabling or starting vortex will apparently be supported without actually being realized. However, a run file $SEISCOMP_ROOT/var/run/vortex.run is generated when running seiscomp start vortex which, however, takes no effect. This behavior will be corrected with SeisComP in version > 6.4.

2024.144

Important

  • Rename the module configuration parameter for defining the event list script. Old -> new:

    script.$name.path -> event.script.$name.path
    

    If previously configured, the old parameter must be replaced by the new one replacing ‘$name’ by the name of the actual profile.

  • Relocate custom scripts

    $SEISCOMP_ROOT/lib/python/vortex -> $SEISCOMP_ROOT/share/vortex
    

    The default script path changed to ‘$SEISCOMP_ROOT/share/vortex’ Any previously created custom script files need to be moved.
