V1 Release Notes 2019

V1.2.3 November 2019

• Added more validation to TotalRunTime and ContinueWithoutImprovementTime, values should be greater than zero.
• Fixed the bug BD-133 which is related to invalid driver start time in a bespoke algorithm.
• Fixed the bug BD-135 which is related to not fully correct load sharing between drivers in a bespoke algorithm.

V1.2.2 November 2019

What's Fixed

• The bug BD-126 which is related to location snapping to the map.
• The bug BD-136 which is related to not correct sequence of untagged requests (jobs).

V1.2.1 October 2019

What's Fixed

• The bug BD-134 it is related to problematic lat/lng with too much precision.

V1.2.0 October 2019

What's New

• The LocationPrecisionMetre attribute is added which defines the maximum geographic precision that Vortex can recognise.

What's Fixed

• The bug OPT-502 it is related to a non working depot reload feature.

V1.1.1 May 2019

What's New

• Statistical distance model is added which provides better estimations for distances & times.

What's Fixed

• The bug BD-78 validation to invalid times such as 12:-8:25 is added
• The bug VOR-7 validation of the optional list of locations if passed.
• The bug VOR-8 validation of the empty list of requests, drivers, depots and vehicles is added.

V1.1.0 March 2019

What's New

• In RESTFul mode, when polling for a result using GET request, HTTP status Accepted (code 202) is returned. HTTP status OK (code 200) is returned only when it is the final result.
• Intermediate results are supported, this can be activated when populating the attribute EnableIntermediateResults with true value. Service would response with HTTP code 202 and the latest up-to-date JSON schedule is returned.
• Better performance for large problems
• In RESTFul mode, when polling for a result using GET request, both routs /YOUR_REQUEST_ID and /v1/YOUR_REQUEST_ID work fine.

What's Fixed

• Typos in JSON input has been fixed, old misspelled attributes are still working for backward compatibility.
• The bug VOR-3 cleanup unused JSON attributes from documentation such as: NumberOfBays
• The bug VOR-1 in algorithm is fixed, so it is focusing on optimizing overall cost mainly. The bug is about two far away depots and two available vehicles. The scheduler now is using more resources if it is efficient to do so.
• The bug VOR-2 in multi-day problems is fixed, originally it was leaving jobs unplanned.
• A bug in output JSON, when number of reported unplanned jobs is different from the actual number. Now they are identical.
