Resolved Issues
| Number | Description | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| 1644180 | Improve granularity of image acquisition date | Fixed in Fusion: imagery acquisition date now supports hours, minutes and seconds with the (ISO-8601) format YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss. This new extended timestamp is backward compatible and enabled in the Fusion UI as well as command-line tools. Client support is being added to EC's timeslider; updated version coming soon. |
| 11271105 | gekmlgrabber fails to grab KML files referenced with relative URLs |
Fixed in Cutter. |
| 17300345, 18021264 | Missing cache_alpha files reported when building projects with pre-processed source data (KIP) | Fixed in Fusion: after upgrading, clean the latest blocked version of the database, clean the latest blocked version of the imagery/terrain project, and then rebuild. |
| 21760202 | gesystemmanager consumes large amount of of resources (cpu & memory) when cancelling large projects | Fixed in Fusion: optimized cache when building raster projects. |
| 24375793 | Use asynchronous communication with server in Portable Viewer | Fixed in Portable Server. |
| 24469566 | Search bar disappears after clicking 'go to polygon' in Portable Viewer | Fixed in Portable Server. |
| 25954774 | Implement swap and replace functions when publishing databases | Fixed in GEE Server: to facilitate updates to existing published databases, geserveradmin supports --republish of databases which involves unpublishing an existing target, and publishing a new database on that same target while retaining its publish context i.e. virtual host, snippets, search services, WMS-serving. The --swaptargets option swaps the target path of two published databases along with their publish context. This makes it easy to test or revert databases in production environments. For more information, see geserveradmin usage. |
| 26964919, 27346002 | POI searches fail when servers deployed behind load-balancer | Fixed in GEE Server: deprecate database ID (db_id), and modify POI search service to query poi_id based on target_path instead. |
| 27689103 | Large POI files break database push | Fixed in Fusion: Split POI files in 1 GB parts. |
| 28941507 | Coordinate search doesn't send search status to Federated search | Fixed in GEE Server. |
| 30189080 | Security: High risk HTTPoxy vulnerability | Fixed in GEE Server: block HTTP Proxy headers in Apache environment. |
| 30512788 | Publish fails when only supplementary search tabs are enabled | Fixed in GEE Server. |
| 30974078 | Portable throws error with blank lines in portable.cfg | Fixed in Portable Server. |
| 31713095 | Check for duplicate images in Asset Manager | Fixed in Fusion: Imagery Resource file dialog checks for duplicates such that the same image cannot be added more than once. |
| 32120563 | Get postgreSQL port number from configuration file | Fixed in GEE Server: custom port numbers for GEE's postgres service should be specified in the files: /var/opt/google/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf and /opt/google/gehttpd/wsgi-bin/conf/postgres.properties. (The default port is 5432.) |
| 32547956 | Cutter fails if 'rsync' not present on system | Fixed in GEE Server: gecutter is no longer dependent on 'rsync' utility. |
