[Oskari-user] Oskari 2.7.0 released!

[Mäkinen Sami (MML)]

Good news everyone,

We released Oskari 2.7.0 today and it is now available on GitHub (https://github.com/oskariorg) and Oskari.org Maven repository. The sample application package has been updated on the download link in Oskari.org (https://oskari.org/download) and http://download.osgeo.org/oskari/. As always you can take a peek at the latest release at https://demo.oskari.org/.

The TL;DR version is we added a couple of new bundles that applications can use to detect problems end-users experience when using the map. We have added classification options for diverging statistical data and pretty much rewritten the classification part for statistical data functionalities in general. There's new options for RPC that an Oskari instance admin/maintainer can use and expose new events/requests for the API. And there's a bunch of user-interface parts that have been migrated from jQuery to React. Also library updates. And we've began rewriting service capabilities handling (for OGC services currently) so it's more coherent and intuitive and better serves our purposes instead of multiple helpers doing bits and pieces that have evolved around different functionalities.
Release Notes
Oskari-frontend

For a full list of changes see: https://github.com/oskariorg/oskari-frontend/milestone/36?closed=1

Layer analytics functionality:

  *   two new bundles: layeranalytics and admin-layeranalytics
  *   the layeranalytics is used to gather anonymized data about map layer usage and errors end-users experience with map layers
  *   the admin functionality can be used to analyze the gathered data to see what layers are used the most and what layers have the most problems
  *   the admin is shown statistics to detect if the layers are fully non-operational/broken by misconfiguration/service changes or if there's some edge cases that could be corrected by limiting the coverage area of the layer or imposing scale-limits etc to improve the end-user experience
  *   For more details:
     *   https://oskari.org/api/bundles#/2.7.0/framework/layeranalytics
     *   https://oskari.org/api/bundles#/2.7.0/admin/admin-layeranalytics
     *   #1759<https://github.com/oskariorg/oskari-frontend/pull/1759>

Statistical maps classification improvements:

  *   classification UI has been mostly rewritten
  *   new classification options for diverging data
  *   legend is now more readable
  *   external metadata handling for indicators has been refined

Improvements to style editor for vector features:

  *   area fill patterns tuned (preview is now consistent with map presentation/map presentation updated as well)
  *   the new editor is now used for markers, my places, userlayers and runtime styling for vector layers (and analysis layers on contrib repository)
  *   Note! VisualizationForm (jQuery-component) is no longer included in frontend build by default. It has been replaced by the new React-based style editor. If you need the jQuery version you can still import it on your own application (example oskariorg/oskari-frontend-contrib#73<https://github.com/oskariorg/oskari-frontend-contrib/pull/73>), but it will be removed on a future release.

RPC improvements:

  *   now allows appsetup to expose more events/requests through RPC API
