We're proud to release 2023.Q1. The primary feature in this release is the updated literature screening module with optional conflict resolution of tags. This features allows dual-screening of references in HAWC, and we hope this expands the types of systematic review methodologies that can be conducted from within HAWC.

In addition, we've made assorted quality of life updates throughout the application - assessment data downloads should be better organized and with more information about the underlying reference, study evaluation metrics and domains are now organized by health domain, and summary tables can now be set to filter and paginate for longer tables.

Finally, we're enabling a feature-flag system for future development to make it easier to add features that we can progressively roll out to users. We hope that this approach makes it easier for developers to update code with less context-switching, which ultimately should make us more efficient.

The complete changelog is described below (features marked 🧪 indicate they're not yet generally available and are behind feature flags):

    • Added client.summary.datapivot_list - retrieve all data pivots for an assessment
    • Added client.summary.table_list - retrieve all tables for an assessment
    • Added login parameter to client.summary.set_authentication_token, to setup a client which can be used to browse the HAWC website

  • Administrative

    • (optionally) add sentry #768
    • added assessment admin notes, to capture details on individual assessments #763

Bug/regressions fixed:

  • fix bug in data pivot initial settings #770

  • remove redundant views, old javascript patterns, and catch errors with invalid data inputs #803

Developer experience:

  • simplify django permissions for views and APIs #732 #801 #803
    • the old approach was confusing and difficult to infer or test
  • make browsable API available for PandasRenderers API views #800
    • this will be useful to debug query counts in django debug toolbar
  • added plotly template tag for easier plotting on django templates #793
  • added feature flags for features still undergoing internal review #802 #788
    • this makes it easier for develop to develop this features, but means we'll need to make sure code that we don't yet available to standard deployments is appropriately captured behind feature flags
    • in staging environments, we will scan with all features enabled, to ensure that all possible routes are undergoing security review
