v1.2.5

• Bugfix for demand module's consolidate_pops routine
• Ocean depths are now reprocessed if the depths file exists but the contours file does not exist

v1.2.4

• Optimized ocean depth gridding.
• Strictly clip all map files to the bounding box.
• QOL updates to the demand module:
  • New prepare_osrm function to build a local OSRM server via Docker.
  • New IGNORE_SCHEMA parameter to avoid loading/saving schema files. This may break adding special demand, but you can apply most methods without issue in this mode.
  • consolidate_pops method made more efficient and now ignores all special demand types.
  • Bugfixes to parts of create_description.
  • _load_schema now allows users to specify an exponent dictionary to use instead of Depot's default.
  • scale_demand fixed to ignore all special demand types.

v1.2.3

• Fixes ocean index performance issue introduced by 1.2.2
• Applies map layer priority of water > aerodrome > commercial > park. Clips lower priority layers by higher priority layers.

v1.2.2

• Fix seams in ocean depth tiles due to aliasing artifacts

v1.2.1

• Merged retail layer into commercial
• Enabled __version__ attribute

v1.2.0

• Added a Demand module. Contains utility functions related to demand data (load, save, sanitize, high-level statistics) and adding special demand points (think the Demand Adder, but more). Creates a config.json for the map ZIP and a Markdown description to use when submitting your map to the registry.
• Conda environment updated. Users must update to use the new Demand module.

v1.1.3

Changelog:

• Add more tags to parks layer
• Simplify overlapping park polygons

v1.1.2

Changelog:

• Optimized ocean depth index loop.
• Allowed choice of road types when extracting roads. This should only ever be needed for big maps with absurd road density like Tokyo.
• Split foundations tiles into a separate pmtiles file (CITY_foundations.pmtiles).
• Added check for building heights <= 0 and reverted those values to the default height.
• Uncapped the size of pmtiles by default. Users can still choose to cap the size of building tiles via max_building_tile_size=#, which automatically will drop the smallest buildings until reaching the specified max size for each tile at each zoom (this is how depot functioned prior to this version).
• Enabled new "commercial" map layer for SB versions >=1.4.5. Additional map layers were also created to hopefully be prepared for future updates similar to this (college, industrial, residential, retail, school, university), but at present they do nothing.
• Removed unnecessary map layers, like roads (these are controlled by the roads.geojson file)
• Note that a recent SB update made bridges and tunnels now show in maps, but SB does not implement collisions for these at present. This is not a Depot problem.

v1.1.1

Changelog:

• Fix ocean depth index and layer for maps with no depths detected

v1.1.0

Changelog:

• Clipped park polygons so that they do not overlap with aerodromes, to avoid a visual bug when in 3D mode.
• Enabled the building foundation depth layer. Depths are at least 10m, and at most 80m. Values are calculated according to alpha * height * (height / min_width)^0.25 where alpha=0.25. This can be disabled if users wish to use the default 10 m foundation for all buildings.
• Enabled use of GEBCO bathymetry data.
  • Enabled the ocean floor depth layer.
  • Enabled ocean collisions. Now, all track must be either elevated or at least 4m below the seafloor. Where there are no GEBCO data (coastal waters, rivers, lakes), a flat value of -4 m is used.
  • This can be disabled if users do not wish to have these limitations.
• Switched from requests to httpx when querying the latest Overture version, as it is more reliable.
• These changes required new Python package dependencies - remake your environment from the latest environment.yml file. Some of the new dependencies are in preparation of the demand module coming in v1.2.
