v0.3.0-dev

The WIS2 Subscription Manager

Although the name of the application has changed, this release remains largely the same with the exception of the following changes:

Major Changes

• Redesign of GDC Results: Each dataset returned when browsing a GDC includes more information, such as the dataset's bounding box, making finding the datasets you're looking for quicker and easier.
• Compatibility with WIS2 Downloader 0.2.1: The subscription configuration page has been updated to use the newest HTTP requests. This means the application no longer supports any WIS2 Downloader with version < 0.2.0.
• Subscription Authentication: Users must now add an authentication token to connect to their WIS2 Downloader.

Quality of Life Improvements

• Improved Error Management: Errors are more frequently caught and explained to the user more clearly.
• Removal of Title Search Box: The 'Title' box for searching a GDC does not return the result expected by the user and thus has been temporarily removed to prevent confusion.
• Addition of a Limit Selection: The user can now choose the limit for the number of datasets returned, from 10-1000.
• Hide Dataset Buttons When Disconnected: If the user is not connected to a WIS2 Downloader, the GDC page will no longer show the 'Add' or 'Remove' buttons.
• Unified Downloader URL Box: To connect to a WIS2 Downloader, the user only needs to enter the associated link rather than the host and port separately.

Full Changelog: v0.1.0-alpha...v0.3.0-dev

As this release includes significant changes, extensive testing across various environments is still encouraged. Please test the application on your local machine and report any bugs by posting an issue.

0.2.0-alpha

The WIS2 Downloader GUI Application

This release is the first backend-independent version of the application and also brings many more improvements thanks to feedback on the previous release. Compatible with Windows, Linux, and MacOS (both X64 and ARM64 architectures), this version includes:

Major Changes:

• Backend Connection: Connect to any WIS2 Downloader backend via its IP and port (the username and password authentication will be implemented in a future release).
• Pending Subscriptions: Add topics manually, or via a GDC, to a pending list for further configuration before activating them on the backend.
• Active Subscriptions: View and configure actively subscribed topics without removing them.
• Download Metrics: By clicking the 'Monitor' button of an active subscription, you can now view bar charts for the number of files/bytes downloaded, their associated file type, and the number of failed downloads.

Quality of Life Improvements:

• Improved Feel of the Catalogue: Add and remove buttons are now part of the result table, making it faster to add and remove them. There is also now an 'Add All' button to add all non-active topics.
• Better Handling of Topics: Active topics and datasets with no associated topic are greyed out in the catalogue.
• Subscription Overlap Prevention: It is now impossible to have overlapping subscriptions. For example, manually adding topic cache/a/wis2/+/data/core/# (technically a set of topics) will prevent me from adding any more topics that belong to that set, e.g. cache/a/wis2/my_centre/data/core/surface-based-observations/synop.

As this release includes significant changes, extensive testing across various environments is still encouraged. Please test the application on your local machine and report any bugs by posting an issue.

0.1.0-alpha

The WIS2 Downloader Application

This is the first release of the WIS2 Downloader application, compatible with Windows, Linux, and MacOS (both X64 and ARM64 architectures). This application enables you to:

• Search the Global Discovery Catalogues and view datasets
• Subscribe to their corresponding topic
• Connect to the WIS2 Global Brokers
• Download the latest data to your local storage
• Save configurations of the above as a JSON file to be used elsewhere

This release lacks extensive testing in various environments, so we encourage you to test this application on your local machine and post an issue if you encounter any bugs.
