v1.3.1

fixing up

v1.3.0

This release contains:

• Support for a second database engine - Google Cloud Data Store.
• Alpha version of a new Web App to provide a working FLAP flight reduction service.
• Google Cloud CloudRun docker container implementation to serve both the website and web app.

v1.2.0

As well as defect fixes this release contains:

• Addition of seasonal traffic flow simulation to the modelling tool
• Additional variations on the clearance promise algorithm, including support for linear regression for polynomials with varying degrees and data smoothing using rolling averages.
• Richer reporting, including charts of linear regression results, distributions of distance balance at clearance date, and overall summaries of distance travelled over time and per band.
• Optimization of Leveldb usage for greater scalability.

Clearance Promises

As well as some minor defect fixes this release contains:

• Implementation of the "Clearance Promises" feature to the Flap library. In this mode travellers submit a set of planned flights as a Trip and receive a promise of the date when they can fly again after the end of this Trip regardless of the state of their Distance Balance. Controlled via parameters set in conifg.yamle. See comments in configs/default.yaml for more details.

• Extension to the modelling tool to allow full modelling with Clearance Promises enabled, such that simulated travellers can plan Trips in advance and act on Clearance Promises given by the core Library.

• Multithreaded support for the update and backfill process. This can be enabled by adding a "threads" value under the flapparams configuration in config.yaml. See comments in configs/default.yaml for more details.

• Multithreaded support for the modelling planning process. This can be enabled by adding a "threads" value under the modelparams configuration in config.yaml. See comments in configs/default.yaml for more details.

FLAP 1.0

First fullly functional and tested implementation of the core FLAP library and modelling tool.
