Changelog

Major new features

• Client: New plugin (Timeslider), allows for users to see how data changes over time (https://github.com/hajkmap/Hajk/wiki/Tidslinje)
• Client: New plugin (VTsearch), allows for timetables searches (https://github.com/hajkmap/Hajk/wiki/Västtrafik)
• Backend: Add a generic proxy to the backend (Add a generic proxy to the backend #824). This replaces the .NET proxy as it allows Hajk backend to proxy any service (exposed on any port), via a path on Hajk's API. Example usage includes solving CORS problems or proxying requests to underlying services running on different port (e.g. QGIS Server).
• Client: WMS layers can be used as search sources, only minimal configuration is required to enabled search functionality for WMS (where a corresponding WFS service exists), (22d648e)
• Client: Add support for WFS-T, including editing, from QGIS Server (Add support for WFS-T from QGIS Server #825)

• Search results labels in map can be turned off on a per-user basis, setting is stored locally in user's browser (Make it possible to turn off map labels in search results #773)
• WFS-T layers can be restricted to certain AD groups (Edit plugin: possibility of locking WFST edit layers with AD #762)
• Min/max zoom restrictions on layers are now visualized in client so that user knows that the layer is on, but outside current zoom (Feature/756 visualize layer minmax zoom hidden #788)

This discussion was created from the release Hajk 3.7 Release Candidate 1.

UDDEVALLA: When creating a new map, it's only the projection EPSG:3006 (Sweref 99 TM) which is inserted in the .json file. The remaining projections, for example 3007 has to be manually inserted afterwards. This seems to be the case in earlier releases too. I don't know if itis a bug or a lack of definition in other config-files. However all projections are defined in layers.json.

[Hallbergs]

Nice catch! We've accidentally shipped the releases with an incorrect map-template. Will be fixed in RC2!

VARBERG:

• We are missing the Timeslider plugin in Admin.
• I can´t write text (only numbers) in window height in Admin so I can´t create dynamic windows.

We are using the .Net edition and I have not copied the new config in admin.

[Hallbergs]

Thanks for the info! Please test RC2, the problems should be fixed :)

[emmafrygne-vbg]

I have tested RC2 and the problems are fixed :) Thank you!

[Hallbergs]

The template-problem and the problem with missing TimeSlider in admin is fixed in RC2, see: https://github.com/hajkmap/Hajk/releases/tag/v3.7.0-rc.2

Also, now you can type text in the height field, allowing for dynamic windows!
