Changelog
Every version of EcoVal and what changed in it, newest first.
Version 0.2.1
- Improved The pages now say what they are about in the browser tab and in search results: ecosystem services. The landing page explains the word under its calculator.
- Fixed An address without a language, such as ekosystemtjanster.se/forest, now leads to the page in your browser's language. It used to give an error.
- Fixed The header on the landing page no longer jumps when the page loads.
Version 0.2.0
- New The City map shows how much of an area's ground the trees shade around midday in midsummer, hour by hour from 11 to 15. The new map layer Tree shade shows where the shadows fall.
- New The City map has a new map layer, Surface temperature: the highest temperature of the ground measured from satellite in the summers of 2023–2025.
- Improved Analysing a whole town on the City map now takes a few seconds. The largest towns used to take most of a minute, and Stockholm failed.
- Improved While the City map works out an area, it shows a drawing of its own: the sun rises between two houses and a tree grows out and lays its shade.
Version 0.1.0
- New EcoVal now has version numbers. From here on, every change you can see is listed on this page.
- New The Forest map: pick or draw a forest and see what it gives left standing compared with cut. Every number can be followed to its data, formula and source.
- New The Water map: a dam's power, fish and costs, a coastal area's eelgrass, bays and shore, and a lake's fishing, test fishing and the loads from upstream.
- New Wetlands and green space in town can be opened while they are being built. For an area you draw in a town you see its tree canopy, other green ground and how much cooler it stays on hot days.
How the versions are numbered
The middle number goes up when there is something new to see or do. The last number goes up when something works better or has been put right. A change marked “Changes the numbers” means that the same area gives other numbers than before.
