[0.5.3] — 2024-06-10

Added

• A data migration to remove points with 0.0, 0.0 coordinates. This is necessary to prevent errors when calculating distance in Stats page.

Fixed

• Reworked code responsible for importing "Records.json" file from Google Takeout. Now it is more reliable and faster, and should not throw as many errors as before.

---

[0.5.2] — 2024-06-08

Added

• Test version of google takeout importing service for exports from users' phones

---

[0.5.1] — 2024-06-07

Added

• Background jobs concurrency now can be set with BACKGROUND_PROCESSING_CONCURRENCY env variable in docker-compose.yml file. Default value is 10.
• Hand-made favicon

Changed

• Change minutes to days and hours on route popup

Fixed

• Improved speed of "Stats" page loading by removing unnecessary queries

---

[0.5.0] — 2024-05-31

Added

• New buttons to quickly move to today's, yesterday's and 7 days data on the map
• "Download JSON" button to points page
• For debugging purposes, now user can use ?meters_between_routes=500 and ?minutes_between_routes=60 query parameters to set the distance and time between routes to split them on the map. This is useful to understand why routes might not be connected on the map.
• Added scale indicator to the map

Changed

• Removed "Your data" page as its function was replaced by "Download JSON" button on the points page
• Hovering over a route now also shows time and distance to next route as well as time and distance to previous route. This allows user to understand why routes might not be connected on the map.

---

[0.4.3] — 2024-05-30

Added

• Now user can hover on a route and see when it started, when it ended and how much time it took to travel

Fixed

• Timestamps in export form are now correctly assigned from the first and last points tracked by the user
• Routes are now being split based both on distance and time. If the time between two consecutive points is more than 60 minutes, the route is split into two separate routes. This improves visibility of the routes on the map.

---

[0.4.2] — 2024-05-29

Changed

• Routes are now being split into separate one. If distance between two consecutive points is more than 500 meters, the route is split into two separate routes. This improves visibility of the routes on the map.
• Background jobs concurrency is increased from 5 to 10 to speed up the processing of the points.

Fixed

• Point data, accepted from OwnTracks and Overland, is now being checked for duplicates. If a point with the same timestamp and coordinates already exists in the database, it will not be saved.

---

[0.4.1] — 2024-05-25

Added

• Heatmap layer on the map to show the density of points

---

[0.4.0] — 2024-05-25

BREAKING CHANGES:

• /api/v1/points is still working, but will be deprecated in nearest future. Please use /api/v1/owntracks/points instead.
• All existing points recorded directly to the database via Owntracks or Overland will be attached to the user with id 1.

Added

• Each user now have an api key, which is required to make requests to the API. You can find your api key in your profile settings.
• You can re-generate your api key in your profile settings.
• In your user profile settings you can now see the instructions on how to use the API with your api key for both OwnTracks and Overland.
• Added docs on how to use the API with your api key. Refer to /api-docs for more information.
• POST /api/v1/owntracks/points endpoint.
• Points are now being attached to a user directly, so you can only see your own points and no other users of your applications can see your points.

Changed

• /api/v1/overland/batches endpoint now requires an api key to be passed in the url. You can find your api key in your profile settings.
• All existing points recorded directly to the database will be attached to the user with id 1.
• All stats and maps are now being calculated and rendered based on the user's points only.
• Default TIME_ZONE environment variable is now set to 'UTC' in the docker-compose.yml file.

Fixed

• Fixed a bug where marker on the map was rendering timestamp without considering the timezone.

---

[0.2.0] — 2024-05-05

Breaking changes:

This release changes how Dawarich handles a city visit threshold. Previously, the MINIMUM_POINTS_IN_CITY environment variable was used to determine the minimum number of points in a city to consider it as visited. Now, the MIN_MINUTES_SPENT_IN_CITY environment variable is used to determine the minimum minutes between two points to consider them as visited the same city.

The logic behind this is the following: if you have a lot of points in a city, it doesn't mean you've spent a lot of time there, especially if your OwnTracks app was in "Move" mode. So, it's better to consider the time spent in a city rather than the number of points.

In your docker-compose.yml file, you need to replace the MINIMUM_POINTS_IN_CITY environment variable with MIN_MINUTES_SPENT_IN_CITY. The default value is 60, in minutes.
