4.6.0

Summary

  • Adds preliminary support for some new and upcoming missions: PUNCH, GOES CCOR, and SWFO-L1.
  • Updated back end to support new events selection component.
  • General bug fixes

Note

GOES CCOR data will initially only be available on JHelioviewer as there are still some technical changes necessary to support it on Helioviewer.org

Upgrade Guide

  • Execute SQL 2025_05_30_ccor.sql to add database support for GOES CCOR
  • Execute <api>/management/events/update_events.php to update saved page states. Without this short links like helioviewer.org/load/state_id will not work
  • Execute <api>/management/events/patch_basedifftime.php to update base diff time in page states. Without this some saved states with running or base difference will not load.

4.4.3

Summary

This is a small bug fix patch. 3 issues have been fixed:

  • Fixed an intermittent error with creating screenshots and movies. This would appear as an error saying the screenshot/movie cannot be created.
  • Fixed an error that prevented downloading/playing large movies
  • Fixed an issue where attempting to share the viewport fails intermittently when using the "base difference" option

One minor update has been made to the popup which shows the FITS Metadata:

  • The sort button previously said "Abc", now says "Sort Labels" to be more clear.

Upgrade Guide

Only composer install is needed after updating to this version.

4.4.2

Summary

This patch is mostly bug fixes with the notable exception of enabling support for Sentry, a tool for application error monitoring.

Overview of changes:

  • updates some schema rules that block certain save state requests.
  • Report application errors to sentry

Upgrade from 4.4.1

2 upgrade steps are needed.

  1. Before getting 4.4.2, update your Config.ini with these lines:
[application]
app_env     = production

[sentry]
sentry_dsn = http://sentry-dsn
sentry_enabled = false
sentry_sample_rate = 0.1
  1. After getting 4.4.2, run composer install
  2. Restart the resque based movie workers with your preferred method. I do pkill -f resque and then re-run movie_queues.tcsh

Highlights

It's been a while since I tagged the release, here's a list of the most important changes to note:

  • Added support for NSO GONG H-alpha
  • Added support for RHESSI reconstructions
  • Added the RHESSI Flare List as a new Features & Event source. RHESSI operated between February 2002 to August 2018.
  • Improved mouse/cursor coordinate support
  • Added getEclipseImage endpoint for https://eclipse.helioviewer.org
  • Enabled exporting Helioviewer.org videos to JHelioviewer
  • Enabled continuous zoom for desktop devices with option to revert to step zoom in user settings.

Upgrade Guide

If you're running a Helioviewer instance, perform the following steps to upgrade from 4.3.0 to 4.4.0.

Pre-Requisites:

  • Install Docker or Podman to run a supporting container
  1. Update Configuration files
  2. Update source code to 4.4.0
  3. run composer install to update dependencies
  4. Apply database updates
  5. Run coordinator container as a background process

Configuration Files

Add this line to Config.ini

coordinator_url = 'http://localhost:9000'

Database Updates

SQL File Description Notes
install/database/2024_05_31_add_events_state_to_both_screenshots_and_movies_tables.sql Enables storing event states for use with screenshots, movies, and sharing Required to work with 4.4.0
install/database/2024_05_16_create_client_states_table.sql Enables storing client state in db Required to work with 4.4.0
install/database/2023_06_23_gong_halpha.sql Enable's GONG H-alpha data source Only needed if you plan to host GONG H-alpha data
install/database/2024_04_03_rhessi.sql Enable's RHESSI data source Only needed if you plan to host RHESSI data

Process Updates (Coordinator)

  • Enable the Python-based Coordinate Transformer. This is a python-based http server which responds to requests to transform earth-based coordinates to coordinates as seen from Helioviewer's viewpoint (Always 1 AU), which improves event pin accuracy.
  1. Use docker to run the process docker run -d -p 9000:80 -t dgarciabriseno/hv-coordinator:0.1.0
  2. Make sure your Config.ini contains coordinator_url = 'http://localhost:9000'
  3. If your server is configured to send requests through a proxy, make sure your requests to localhost don't go through that proxy.
