Added

• Added all ports on localhost, 127.0.0.1 and 0.0.0.0 to CORS allowed origins.

Changed

• Altered the /api/recent_routes endpoint to return routes from the last 24 hours. Previously it returned routes from the current calendar day.

Fixed

• Added missing migration.

0.2.5 - 2025-12-15

Added

• added ensure_adminuser command to add subtly more sophisticated behaviour to Django's createsuperuser - i.e. don't raise non-zero exit code if superuser already exists, add more useful output.
• Empty arrays to empty responses for a consistent response structure.
• Adding a "tags" field to the Route model. As an optional parameter, tags can be assigned to routes using a POST api/route request. This is implemented using django-taggit.
• Added environment variables for controlling logging behaviour: POLARROUTE_LOG_FILE_NAME, CELERY_LOG_DIR, CELERY_LOG_FILE_NAME (in addition to existing: POLARROUTE_LOG_DIR).
• Added rotating logging handler.

Improved

• Improved speed of route changelist admin page.
• Write logs with group-write permissions.
• Use uv in the docker image.

Changed

• Inappropriate use of 204 code: RecentRoutesView changed from 204 to 200 OK with an empty array and the original message ("No recent routes found for today.").
• Inappropriate use of 204 code: VehicleTypeListView changed from 204 to 200 OK with and empty array and the original message.
• MeshView - Changed from 204 to 404 Not Found when mesh doesn't exist.
• Updated tests to reflect corrected HTTP status codes.
• Remove one layer of error response nesting in failed job response.
• Made route admin panel more read-only and faster; hide full view of JSON fields.

Fixed

• Corrected mesh data source checking and improved warning message to reduce confusion for missing current data.
• Add erroneously missing rest_framework into INSTALLED_APPS.
• Remove unique constraint and add id field to locations fixture to prevent duplication.
• Corrected mesh metadata filename pattern.
• Corrected mesh id type in api schema.
• Catch more errors in route evaluation, return a better error message from evaluate route endpoint.

Added

• This changelog!

Changed

• Breaking: Route response structure now consistent regardless of optimisation types available.
• Improved recent_routes endpoint performance by removing repeated job status calls and heavy JSON processing.
• Route calculated timestamp only applied when both route optimisations are complete.
• Re-coupled recent_routes status to Celery state using database instead of broker for better reliability/performance.
• Removed top-level metadata duplication in route responses.

Fixed

• Performance issues with recent_routes endpoint loading unnecessary data.

Changed

• Breaking: Separated job and route endpoints - routes now accessed via job workflow.
• Breaking: Route cancellation moved from route endpoint to job endpoint.
• Unified error responses across all endpoints for consistency.
