Version 1.9.0.0

Warning

This release introduces changes to the database schema that are not supported in a simple migration when using SQLite as the back-end. The release requires that the data is exported, the database is dropped and re-created with the new schema and the data is then re-imported. Instructions on how to do this are given, below.

Non-IMO Vessel Identifiers

• Support vessel identifiers that are not IMOs
• This allows logging of sightings of vessels such as military vessels, that do not have IMOs

Applying the Changes

• Before updating, use version 1.8.0.0 of the application to run an "all data" export
• Backup and then delete the existing database
• Edit the exported vessels CSV file and add a second column, "Is IMO", with the value "True" on each row
• Using version 1.9.0.0 of the application:
  • Re-create the database using the management application and the "--update" option
  • Use the management application to re-add users
  • Re-import the data using the management application, in the following order:
    • Countries
    • Locations
    • Operators

    • Vessel Types
    • Vessels
    • Voyages
