Release Notes xServer 2.33.0

• general
  1. Improvement: The performance when receiving large responses in the Raw Request Runner is improved.
  2. Improvement: Updated several third-party components.
  3. Bugfix: Avoid logging of asynchronous start requests when they are successful and only exceptional or fatal logging is enabled (see property 'core.logging.logRequests' in the xServer configuration file).
• xcluster
  1. Bugfix: Fixed crash when using visit planning together with improving the daily workload balance and some days have no visits.
• xdata
  1. Feature: Added REST operation 'getCombinedTransportsByText' to search for combined transports by text. Please note that this is experimental.
  2. Feature: Added support for additional combined transport information by providing fields like duration or locations in the type 'CombinedTransportAttributes'.
  3. Bugfix: Return the 'country' in the type 'SegmentDescriptors' also for combined transports.
  4. Bugfix: Fixed bug in the operation 'startCreateHighPerformanceRoutingNetwork' when folders were manually deleted.
• xdima
  1. Feature: Added field 'parameters' to the type 'MultipleTravelTimesConsideration' to modify the impact of the time-consideration scenario 'MultipleTravelTimesConsideration' by using generic parameters provided by PTV. Please note that this is experimental.
  2. Improvement: The performance of the distance matrix calculation using high-performance routing is improved in particular for rectangle matrices.
  3. Bugfix: Gates involving closed roads and one-way roads could be violated in both directions and routes were found.
     xmatch
  4. Bugfix: Fixed crash when matching tracks close to borders of US states.
• xroute
  1. Feature: Added field 'factorsVersion' to the type 'EmissionValueScenario_ISO14083_2023' to control the different versions of the ISO 14083 emission calculation offering updated factors.
  2. Feature: Added field 'useServiceTimeForRecreation' to the type 'TourStopOptions' to use the service time on a waypoint for breaks and rests when using working hours.
  3. Feature: Added field 'useTimeOnCombinedTransportForRecreation' to the type 'TourRestrictions' to use the time on combined transports for breaks and rests when using working hours.
  4. Feature: Added support for additional combined transport information by providing fields like duration or locations in the type 'CombinedTransportAttributes'.
  5. Improvement: When the values of the field 'minimumDistancesFromWaypoint' are too low to find a route, they are automatically adjusted.
  6. Improvement: The quality of the operations 'calculateReachableAreas' and 'calculateReachableLocations' is improved when the nearest segment to the waypoints and locations may not be used by the vehicle.
  7. Bugfix: Return the 'country' in the type 'SegmentDescriptors' also for combined transports.
  8. Bugfix: Gates involving closed roads and one-way roads could be violated in both directions and routes were found.
  9. Bugfix: The missing tour events of type 'SERVICE' in some rare cases are returned.
  10. Bugfix: The result limitation 'ElevationsNotAvailableLimitation' is returned for missing elevations in HBEFA emission calculation and no longer for using ferries.
  11. Bugfix: Exceptions with fault 'RouteNotFoundFault' and 'WaypointNotLinkableFault' return the more appropriate HTTP status code 400 instead of 500.
  12. Bugfix: Time spent on a combined transport is considered as waiting, break or rest time and no longer as driving time.
  13. Bugfix: Fixed crash when the first and last waypoint is located on the same coordinates and within the radius of a manipulate route waypoint.
• xtour
  1. Feature: Added field 'serviceTimeFactorForOrders' to the type 'DepotSite' to modify the service times of all orders carried out at the site.
  2. Bugfix: When searching for insertion positions of unplanned orders, the field 'preferencesRespected' of the type 'ChangeToursProposal' is set correctly.
