3.8.8 (2020-09-04)

• Coastal Vulnerability
  • Improved handling of invalid AOI geometries to avoid crashing and instead
    fix the geometry when possible and skip it otherwise.
  • Added validation check that shows a warning if the SLR vector is not
    a point or multipoint geometry.
• Urban Cooling
  • Energy units are now (correctly) expressed in kWh. They were previously
    (incorrectly) expressed in kW.
  • Energy savings calculations now require that consumption is in units of
    kWh/degree C/m^2 for each building class.
  • Fixing an issue where blank values of the Cooling Coefficient weights
    (shade, albedo, ETI) would raise an error. Now, a default value for the
    coefficient is assumed if any single value is left blank.
• HRA
  • Raise ValueError if habitat or stressor inputs are not projected.
  • Make sample data rating filepaths work on Mac. If not on Windows and a rating
    filepath isn't found, try replacing all backslashes with forward slashes.
• Seasonal Water Yield
  • Updated output file name from aggregated_results.shp to aggregated_results_swy.shp
    for consistency with NDR and SDR
• Datastack
  • Saved datastack archives now use helpful identifying names for spatial input folders
• Validation
  • Fixed bug that caused fields activated by a checkbox to make validation fail,
    even when the checkbox was unchecked.
• General
  • Input table column headers are now insensitive to leading/trailing whitespace in
    most places.
  • Modified the script that produces a conda environment file from InVEST's python
    requirements file so that it includes the conda-forge channel in the file
    itself.
• Recreation
  • Validate values in the type column of predictor tables early in execution. Raise
    a ValueError if a type value isn't valid (leading/trailing whitespace is okay).
• Validation
  • Set a 5-second timeout on validation functions that access a file. This will raise
    a warning and prevent validation from slowing down the UI too much.
