Release Date: 2021-01-25 Valhalla 3.1.0

• Removed

  • REMOVED: Remove Node bindings. #2502
  • REMOVED: appveyor builds. #2550
  • REMOVED: Removed x86 CI builds. #2792

• Bug Fix

  • FIXED: Crazy ETAs. If a way has forward speed with no backward speed and it is not oneway, then we must set the default speed. The reverse logic applies as well. If a way has no backward speed but has a forward speed and it is not a oneway, then set the default speed. #2102
  • FIXED: Map matching elapsed times spliced amongst different legs and discontinuities are now correct #2104
  • FIXED: Date time information is now propagated amongst different legs and discontinuities #2107
  • FIXED: Adds support for geos-3.8 c++ api #2021
  • FIXED: Updated the osrm serializer to not set junction name for osrm origin/start maneuver - this is not helpful since we are not transitioning through the intersection. #2121
  • FIXED: Removes precomputing of edge-costs which lead to wrong results #2120
  • FIXED: Complex turn-restriction invalidates edge marked as kPermanent #2103
  • FIXED: Fixes bug with inverted time-restriction parsing #2167
  • FIXED: Fixed several bugs with numeric underflow in map-matching trip durations. These may occur when serializing match results where adjacent trace points appear out-of-sequence on the same edge #2178
    • MapMatcher::FormPath now catches route discontinuities on the same edge when the distance percentage along don't agree. The trip leg builder builds disconnected legs on a single edge to avoid duration underflow.
    • Correctly populate edge groups when matching results contain loops. When a loop occurs, the leg builder now starts at the correct edge where the loop ends, and correctly accounts for any contained edges.
    • Duration over-trimming at the terminating edge of a match.
  • FIXED: Increased internal precision of time tracking per edge and maneuver so that maneuver times sum to the same time represented in the leg summary #2195
  • FIXED: Tagged speeds were not properly marked. We were not using forward and backward speeds to flag if a speed is tagged or not. Should not update turn channel speeds if we are not inferring them. Added additional logic to handle PH in the conditional restrictions. Do not update stop impact for ramps if they are marked as internal. #2198
  • FIXED: Fixed the sharp turn phrase #2226
  • FIXED: Protect against duplicate points in the input or points that snap to the same location resulting in nan times for the legs of the map match (of a 0 distance route) #2229

  • FIXED: Fixed verbal multi-cue logic #2270
  • FIXED: Fixed Uturn cases when a not_thru edge is connected to the origin edge. #2272
  • FIXED: Update intersection classes in osrm response to not label all ramps as motorway #2279
  • FIXED: Fixed bug in mapmatcher when interpolation point goes before the first valid match or after the last valid match. Such behavior usually leads to discontinuity in matching. #2275
  • FIXED: Fixed an issue for time_allowed logic. Previously we returned false on the first time allowed restriction and did not check them all. Added conditional restriction gurka test and datetime optional argument to gurka header file. #2286
  • FIXED: Fixed an issue for date ranges. For example, for the range Jan 04 to Jan 02 we need to test to end of the year and then from the first of the year to the end date. Also, fixed an emergency tag issue. We should only set the use to emergency if all other access is off. #2290
  • FIXED: Found a few issues with the initial ref and direction logic for ways. We were overwriting the refs with directionals to the name_offset_map instead of concatenating them together. Also, we did not allow for blank entries for GetTagTokens. #2298
  • FIXED: Fixed an issue where MatchGuidanceViewJunctions is only looking at the first edge. Set the data_id for guidance views to the changeset id as it is already being populated. Also added test for guidance views. #2303

  • FIXED: Fixed segfault. Shape was missing from options for valhalla_path_comparison and valhalla_run_route. Also, costing options was missing in valhalla_path_comparison. #2343
  • FIXED: Handle decimal numbers with zero-value mantissa properly in Lua #2355
  • FIXED: Many issues that resulted in discontinuities, failed matches or incorrect time/duration for map matching requests. #2292
  • FIXED: Seeing segfault when loading large osmdata data files before loading LuaJit. LuaJit fails to create luaL_newstate() Ref: #2158 Resolution is to load LuaJit before loading the data files. #2383
  • FIXED: Store positive/negative OpenLR offsets in bucketed form #2405
  • FIXED: Fix on map-matching return code when breakage distance limitation exceeds. Instead of letting the request goes into meili and fails in finding a route, we check the distance in loki and early return with exception code 172. #2406
  • FIXED: Don't create edges for portions of ways that are doubled back on themselves as this confuses opposing edge index computations #2385

  • FIXED: Overestimated reach caused be reenquing transition nodes without checking that they had been already expanded #2670
  • FIXED: Build with C++17 standard. Deprecated function calls are substituted with new ones. #2669
  • FIXED: Improve German post_transition_verbal instruction #2677

• Bug Fix
  • FIXED: Improved logic to decide between bear vs. continue #1798
  • FIXED: Bicycle costing allows use of roads with all surface values, but with a penalty based on bicycle type. However, the edge filter totally disallows bad surfaces for some bicycle types, creating situations where reroutes fail if a rider uses a road with a poor surface. #1800

  • FIXED: Fixed VACUUM ANALYZE syntax issue. #1704
  • FIXED: Fixed the osrm maneuver type when a maneuver has the to_stay_on attribute set. #1714

• Enhancement

  • Add the ability to run valhalla_build_tiles in stages. Specify the begin_stage and end_stage as command line options. Also cleans up temporary files as the last stage in the pipeline.
  • Add remove to filesystem namespace. #1752
  • Add TaxiCost into auto costing options.
  • Add preferred_side to allow per-location filtering of edges based on the side of the road the location is on and the driving side for that locale.
  • Slightly decreased the internal side-walk factor to .90f to favor roads with attached sidewalks. This impacts roads that have added sidewalk:left, sidewalk:right or sidewalk:both OSM tags (these become attributes on each directedEdge). The user can then avoid/penalize dedicated sidewalks and walkways, when they increase the walkway_factor. Since we slightly decreased the sidewalk_factor internally and only favor sidewalks if use is tagged as sidewalk_left or sidewalk_right, we should tend to route on roads with attached sidewalks rather than separate/dedicated sidewalks, allowing for more road names to be called out since these are labeled more.
  • Add via and break_through location types #1737
  • Add street_side_tolerance and search_cutoff to input location #1777
  • Return the Valhalla error Path distance exceeds the max distance limit for OSRM responses when the route is greater than the service limits. #1781

Release Date: 2019-01-14 Valhalla 3.0.2

• Bug Fix
  • FIXED: Transit update - fix dow and exception when after midnight trips are normalized #1682
  • FIXED: valhalla_convert_transit segfault - GraphTileBuilder has null GraphTileHeader #1683
  • FIXED: Fix crash for trace_route with osrm serialization. Was passing shape rather than locations to the waypoint method.
  • FIXED: Properly set driving_side based on data set in TripPath.
  • FIXED: A bad bicycle route exposed an issue with bidirectional A* when the origin and destination edges are connected. Use A* in these cases to avoid requiring a high cost threshold in BD A*.
  • FIXED: x86 and x64 data compatibility was fixed as the structures weren't aligned.
  • FIXED: x86 tests were failing due mostly to floating point issues and the aforementioned structure misalignment.
• Enhancement
  • Add a durations list (delta time between each pair of trace points), a begin_time and a use_timestamp flag to trace_route requests. This allows using the input trace timestamps or durations plus the begin_time to compute elapsed time at each edge in the matched path (rather than using costing methods).
  • Add support for polyline5 encoding for OSRM formatted output.
• Note
  • Isochrones and openlr are both noted as not working with release builds for x86 (32bit) platforms. We'll look at getting this fixed in a future release

Release Date: 2018-11-21 Valhalla 3.0.1

• Bug Fix
  • FIXED: Fixed a rare, but serious bug with bicycle costing. ferry_factor_ in bicycle costing shadowed the data member in the base dynamic cost class, leading to an uninitialized variable. Occasionally, this would lead to negative costs which caused failures. #1663
  • FIXED: Fixed use of units in OSRM compatibility mode. #1662

Release Date: 2018-11-21 Valhalla 3.0.0

• NOTE
  • This release changes the Valhalla graph tile formats to make the tile data more efficient and flexible. Tile data is incompatible with Valhalla 2.x builds, and code for 3.x is incompatible with data built for Valahalla 2.x versions. Valhalla tile sizes are slightly smaller (for datasets using elevation information the size savings is over 10%). In addition, there is increased flexibility for creating different variants of tiles to support different applications (e.g. bicycle only, or driving only).
• Enhancement
  • Remove the use of DirectedEdge for transitions between nodes on different hierarchy levels. A new structure, NodeTransition, is now used to transition to nodes on different hierarchy level. This saves space since only the end node GraphId is needed for the transitions (and DirectedEdge is a large data structure).
  • Change the NodeInfo lat,lon to use an offset from the tile base lat,lon. This potentially allows higher precision than using float, but more importantly saves space and allows support for NodeTransitions as well as spare for future growth.
  • Remove the EdgeElevation structure and max grade information into DirectedEdge and mean elevation into EdgeInfo. This saves space.
  • Reduce wayid to 32 bits. This allows sufficient growth when using OpenStreetMap data and frees space in EdgeInfo (allows moving speed limit and mean elevation from other structures).
  • Move name consistency from NodeInfo to DirectedEdge. This allows a more efficient lookup of name consistency.
  • Update all path algorithms to use NodeTransition logic rather than special DirectedEdge transition types. This simplifies PathAlgorithms slightly and removes some conditional logic.
  • Add an optional GraphFilter stage to tile building pipeline. This allows removal of edges and nodes based on access. This allows bicycle only, pedestrian only, or driving only datasets (or combinations) to be created - allowing smaller datasets for special purpose applications.
• Deprecate
  • Valhalla 3.0 removes support for OSMLR.

Release Date: 2018-11-20 Valhalla 2.7.2

• Enhancement
  • UPDATED: Added a configuration variable for max_timedep_distance. This is used in selecting the path algorithm and provides the maximum distance between locations when choosing a time dependent path algorithm (other than multi modal). Above this distance, bidirectional A* is used with no time dependencies.
  • UPDATED: Remove transition edges from priority queue in Multimodal methods.
  • UPDATED: Fully implement street names and exit signs with ability to identify route numbers. #1635
• Bug Fix
  • FIXED: A timed-turned restriction should not be applied when a non-timed route is executed. #1615
  • FIXED: Changed unordered_map to unordered_multimap for polys. Poly map can contain the same key but different multi-polygons. For example, islands for a country or timezone polygons for a country.
  • FIXED: Fixed timezone db issue where TZIDs did not exist in the Howard Hinnant date time db that is used in the date_time class for tz indexes. Added logic to create aliases for TZIDs based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
  • FIXED: Fixed the ramp turn modifiers for osrm compat #1569
  • FIXED: Fixed the step geometry when using the osrm compat mode #1571
  • FIXED: Fixed a data creation bug causing issues with A* routes ending on loops. #1576
  • FIXED: Fixed an issue with a bad route where destination only was present. Was due to thresholds in bidirectional A*. Changed threshold to be cost based rather than number of iterations). #1586
  • FIXED: Fixed an issue with destination only (private) roads being used in bicycle routes. Centralized some "base" transition cost logic in the base DynamicCost class. #1587
  • FIXED: Remove extraneous ramp maneuvers #1657

Release Date: 2018-10-02 Valhalla 2.7.1

• Enhancement
  • UPDATED: Added date time support to forward and reverse isochrones. Add speed lookup (predicted speeds and/or free-flow or constrained flow speed) if date_time is present.
  • UPDATED: Add timezone checks to multimodal routes and isochrones (updates localtime if the path crosses into a timezone different than the start location).
• Data Producer Update
  • UPDATED: Removed boost date time support from transit. Now using the Howard Hinnant date library.
• Bug Fix
  • FIXED: Fixed a bug with shortcuts that leads to inconsistent routes depending on whether shortcuts are taken, different origins can lead to different paths near the destination. This fix also improves performance on long routes and matrices.
  • FIXED: We were getting inconsistent results between departing at current date/time vs entering the current date/time. This issue is due to the fact that the iso_date_time function returns the full iso date_time with the timezone offset (e.g., 2018-09-27T10:23-07:00 vs 2018-09-27T10:23). When we refactored the date_time code to use the new Howard Hinnant date library, we introduced this bug.
  • FIXED: Increased the threshold in CostMatrix to address null time and distance values occurring for truck costing with locations near the max distance.

Release Date: 2018-09-13 Valhalla 2.7.0

• Enhancement
  • UPDATED: Refactor to use the pbf options instead of the ptree config #1428 This completes 1357
  • UPDATED: Removed the boost/date_time dependency from baldr and odin. We added the Howard Hinnant date and time library as a submodule. #1494
  • UPDATED: Fixed 'Drvie' typo #1505 This completes 1504
  • UPDATED: Optimizations of GetSpeed for predicted speeds 1490
  • UPDATED: Isotile optimizations
  • UPDATED: Added stats to predictive traffic logging
  • UPDATED: resample_polyline - Breaks the polyline into equal length segments at a sample distance near the resolution. Break out of the loop through polyline points once we reach the specified number of samplesthen append the last polyline point.
  • UPDATED: added android logging and uses a shared graph reader
  • UPDATED: Do not run a second pass on long pedestrian routes that include a ferry (but succeed on first pass). This is a performance fix. Long pedestrian routes with A star factor based on ferry speed end up being very inefficient.
• Bug Fix
  • FIXED: A* destination only
  • FIXED: Fixed through locations weren't honored #1449

Release Date: 2018-08-02 Valhalla 3.0.0-rc.4

• Node Bindings
  • UPDATED: add some worker pool handling #1467

Release Date: 2018-08-02 Valhalla 3.0.0-rc.3

Release Date: 2018-07-12 Valhalla 3.0.0-alpha.1

NOTE: There was already a small package named valhalla on the npm registry, only published up to version 0.0.3. The team at npm has transferred the package to us, but would like us to publish something to it ASAP to prove our stake in it. Though the bindings do not have all of the actor functionality exposed yet (just route), we are going to publish an alpha release of 3.0.0 to get something up on npm.

Release Date: 2016-11-15 Valhalla 2.0

• Tile Redesign
  • Updated the graph tiles to store edges only on the hierarchy level they belong to. Prior to this, the highways were stored on all levels, they now exist only on the highway hierarchy. Similar changes were made for arterial level roads. This leads to about a 20% reduction in tile size.
  • The tile redesign required changes to the path generation algorithms. They must now transition freely between levels, even for pedestrian and bicycle routes. To offset the extra transitions, the main algorithms were changed to expand nodes at each level that has directed edges, rather than adding the transition edges to the priority queue/adjacency list. This change helps performance. The hierarchy limits that are used to speed the computation of driving routes by utilizing the highway hierarchy were adjusted to work with the new path algorithms.
  • Some changes to costing were also required, for example pedestrian and bicycle routes skip shortcut edges.
  • Many tile data structures were altered to explicitly size different fields and make room for "spare" fields that will allow future growth. In addition, the tile itself has extra "spare" records that can be appended to the end of the tile and referenced from the tile header. This also will allow future growth without breaking backward compatibility.
• Guidance Improvement
  • Refactored trip path to use an enumerated Use for edge and an enumerated NodeType for node
  • Fixed some wording in the Hindi narrative file
  • Fixed missing turn maneuver by updating the forward intersecting edge logic
• Issues Fixed
  • Fixed an issue with pedestrian routes where a short u-turn was taken to avoid the "crossing" penalty.
  • Fixed bicycle routing due to high penalty to enter an access=destination area. Changed to a smaller, length based factor to try to avoid long regions where access = destination. Added a driveway penalty to avoid taking driveways (which are often marked as access=destination).
  • Fixed regression where service did not adhere to the list of allowed actions in the Loki configuration
• Graph Correlation
  • External contributions from Navitia have lead to greatly reduced per-location graph correlation. Average correlation time is now less than 1ms down from 4-9ms.

  • Updated the start and end edge heading calculation to be based on road class and edge use
• Bicycle Routing Improvements
  • Prevent getting off a higher class road for a small detour only to get back onto the road immediately.
  • Redo the speed penalties and road class factors - they were doubly penalizing many roads with very high values.
  • Simplify the computation of weighting factor for roads that do not have cycle lanes. Apply speed penalty to slightly reduce favoring of non-separated bicycle lanes on high speed roads.
• Routing Improvements
  • Remove avoidance of U-turn for pedestrian routes. This improves use with map-matching since pedestrian routes can make U-turns.
  • Allow U-turns at dead-ends for driving (and bicycling) routes.

  • Added a new Matrix Service action that allows you to request any of the 3 types of time-distance matrices by calling 1 action. This action takes a sources and targets parameter instead of the locations parameter. Please see the updated Time-Distance Matrix Service API reference for more details.

Release Date: 2016-08-08

• Service additions
• Latitude, longitude bounding boxes of the route and each leg have been added to the route results.
• Added an initial isochrone capability. This includes methods to create an "isotile" - a 2-D gridded data set with time to reach each lat,lon grid from an origin location. This isoltile is then used to create contours at specified times. Interior contours are optionally removed and the remaining outer contours are generalized and converted to GeoJSON polygons. An initial version supporting multimodal route types has also been added.
• Data Producer Updates

Release Date: 2016-05-18

• Bidirectional A Improvements* - Fixed an issue where if both origin and destination locations where on not-thru roads that meet at a common node the path ended up taking a long detour. Not all cases were fixed though - next release should fix. Trying to address the termination criteria for when the best connection point of the 2 paths is optimal. Turns out that the initial case where both opposing edges are settled is not guaranteed to be the least cost path. For now we are setting a threshold and extending the search while still tracking best connections. Fixed the opposing edge when a hierarchy transition occurs.
• Guidance Globalization - Fixed decimal distance to be locale based.
• Guidance Improvements
• Fixed roundabout spoke count issue by fixing the drive_on_right attribute.
• Simplified narative by combining unnamed straight maneuvers

Release Date: 2016-04-28

• Tile Format Updates - Separated the transit graph from the "road only" graph into different tiles but retained their interconnectivity. Transit tiles are now hierarchy level 3.
• Tile Format Updates - Reduced the size of graph edge shape data by 5% through the use of varint encoding (LEB128)
• Tile Format Updates - Aligned EdgeInfo structures to proper byte boundaries so as to maintain compatibility for systems who don't support reading from unaligned addresses.
• Guidance Globalization - Added the it-IT(Italian) language file. Added support for CLDR plural rules. The cs-CZ(Czech), de-DE(German), and en-US(US English) language files have been updated.
• Travel mode based instructions - Updated the start, post ferry, and post transit insructions to be based on the travel mode, for example:
• Drive east on Main Street.
• Walk northeast on Broadway.
• Bike south on the cycleway.

Release Date: 2016-04-12

• Guidance Globalization - Added logic to use tagged language files that contain the guidance phrases. The initial versions of en-US, de-DE, and cs-CZ have been deployed.
• Updated ferry defaults - Bumped up use_ferry to 0.65 so that we don't penalize ferries as much.

Release Date: 2016-03-31

• Data producer updates - Do not generate shortcuts across a node which is a fork. This caused missing fork maneuvers on longer routes. GetNames update ("Broadway fix"). Fixed an issue with looking up a name in the ref map and not the name map. Also, removed duplicate names. Private = false was unsetting destination only flags for parking aisles.

Release Date: 2016-03-30

• TripPathBuilder Bug Fix - Fixed an exception that was being thrown when trying to read directed edges past the end of the list within a tile. This was due to errors in setting walkability and cyclability on upper hierarchies.

Release Date: 2016-03-28

• Improved Graph Correlation - Correlating input to the routing graph is carried out via closest first traversal of the graph's, now indexed, geometry. This results in faster correlation and guarantees the absolute closest edge is found.

Release Date: 2016-03-16

• Transit type returned - The transit type (e.g. tram, metro, rail, bus, ferry, cable car, gondola, funicular) is now returned with each transit maneuver.
• Guidance language - If the language option is not supplied or is unsupported then the language will be set to the default (en-US). Also, the service will return the language in the trip results.
• Update multimodal path algorithm - Applied some fixes to multimodal path algorithm. In particular fixed a bug where the wrong sortcost was added to the adjacency list. Also separated "in-station" transfer costs from transfers between stops.
• Data producer updates - Do not combine shortcut edges at gates or toll booths. Fixes avoid toll issues on routes that included shortcut edges.

Release Date: 2016-03-07

• Updated all APIs to honor the optional DNT (Do not track) http header - This will avoid logging locations.
• Reduce 'Merge maneuver' verbal alert instructions - Only create a verbal alert instruction for a 'Merge maneuver' if the previous maneuver is > 1.5 km.
• Updated transit defaults. Tweaked transit costing logic to obtain better routes. - use_rail = 0.6, use_transfers = 0.3, transfer_cost = 15.0 and transfer_penalty = 300.0. Updated the TransferCostFactor to use the transfer_factor correctly. TransitionCost for pedestrian costing bumped up from 20.0f to 30.0f when predecessor edge is a transit connection.
• Initial Guidance Globalization - Partial framework for Guidance Globalization. Started reading some guidance phrases from en-US.json file.

Release Date: 2016-02-22

• Use bidirectional A for automobile routes* - Switch to bidirectional A* for all but bus routes and short routes (where origin and destination are less than 10km apart). This improves performance and has less failure cases for longer routes. Some data import adjustments were made (02-19) to fix some issues encountered with arterial and highway hierarchies. Also only use a maximum of 2 passes for bidirecdtional A* to reduce "long time to fail" cases.
• Added verbal multi-cue guidance - This combines verbal instructions when 2 successive maneuvers occur in a short amount of time (e.g., Turn right onto MainStreet. Then Turn left onto 1st Avenue).

Release Date: 2016-02-19

• Data producer updates - Reduce stop impact when all edges are links (ramps or turn channels). Update opposing edge logic to reject edges that do no have proper access (forward access == reverse access on opposing edge and vice-versa). Update ReclassifyLinks for cases where a single edge (often a service road) intersects a ramp improperly causing the ramp to reclassified when it should not be. Updated maximum OSM node Id (now exceeds 4000000000). Move lua from conf repository into mjolnir.

Release Date: 2016-02-01

• Data producer updates - Reduce speed on unpaved/rough roads. Add statistics for hgv (truck) restrictions.

Release Date: 2016-01-26

• Added capability to disable narrative production - Added the narrative boolean option to allow users to disable narrative production. Locations, shape, length, and time are still returned. The narrative production is enabled by default. The possible values for the narrative option are: false and true
• Added capability to mark a request with an id - The id is returned with the response so a user could match to the corresponding request.
• Added some logging enhancements, specifically [ANALYTICS] logging - We want to focus more on what our data is telling us by logging specific stats in Logstash.

Release Date: 2016-01-18

• Data producer updates - Data importer configuration (lua) updates to fix a bug where buses were not allowed on restricted lanes. Fixed surface issue (change the default surface to be "compacted" for footways).

Release Date: 2016-01-04

• Fixed Wrong Costing Options Applied - Fixed a bug in which a previous requests costing options would be used as defaults for all subsequent requests.

Release Date: 2015-12-18

• Fix for bus access - Data importer configuration (lua) updates to fix a bug where bus lanes were turning off access for other modes.
• Fix for extra emergency data - Data importer configuration (lua) updates to fix a bug where we were saving hospitals in the data.
• Bicycle costing update - Updated kTCSlight and kTCFavorable so that cycleways are favored by default vs roads.

Release Date: 2015-12-17

• Graph Tile Data Structure update - Updated structures within graph tiles to support transit efforts and truck routing. Removed TransitTrip, changed TransitRoute and TransitStop to indexes (rather than binary search). Added access restrictions (like height and weight restrictions) and the mode which they impact to reduce need to look-up.
• Data producer updates - Updated graph tile structures and import processes.

Release Date: 2015-11-23

• Fixed Open App for OSRM functionality - Added OSRM functionality back to Loki to support Open App.

Release Date: 2015-11-13

• Improved narrative for unnamed walkway, cycleway, and mountain bike trail - A generic description will be used for the street name when a walkway, cycleway, or mountain bike trail maneuver is unnamed. For example, a turn right onto a unnamed walkway maneuver will now be: "Turn right onto walkway."
• Fix costing bug - Fix a bug introduced in EdgeLabel refactor (impacted time distance matrix only).

Release Date: 2015-11-3

• Enhance bi-directional A logic* - Updates to bidirectional A* algorithm to fix the route completion logic to handle cases where a long "connection" edge could lead to a sub-optimal path. Add hierarchy and shortcut logic so we can test and use bidirectional A* for driving routes. Fix the destination logic to properly handle oneways as the destination edge. Also fix U-turn detection for reverse search when hierarchy transitions occur.
• Change "Go" to "Head" for some instructions - Start, exit ferry.
• Update to roundabout instructions - Call out roundabouts for edges marked as links (ramps, turn channels).
• Update bicycle costing - Fix the road factor (for applying weights based on road classification) and lower turn cost values.

Data Producer Release Date: 2015-11-2

• Updated logic to not create shortcut edges on roundabouts - This fixes some roundabout exit counts.

Release Date: 2015-10-20

• Bug Fix for Pedestrian and Bicycle Routes - Fixed a bug with setting the destination in the bi-directional Astar algorithm. Locations that snapped to a dead-end node would have failed the route and caused a timeout while searching for a valid path. Also fixed the elapsed time computation on the reverse path of bi-directional algorithm.

Release Date: 2015-10-16

• Through Location Types - Improved support for locations with type = "through". Routes now combine paths that meet at each through location to create a single "leg" between locations with type = "break". Paths that continue at a through location will not create a U-turn unless the path enters a "dead-end" region (neighborhood with no outbound access).
• Update shortcut edge logic - Now skips long shortcut edges when close to the destination. This can lead to missing the proper connection if the shortcut is too long. Fixes #245 (thor).
• Per mode service limits - Update configuration to allow setting different maximum number of locations and distance per mode.
• Fix shape index for trivial path - Fix a bug where when building the the trip path for a "trivial" route (includes just one edge) where the shape index exceeded that size of the shape.

Release Date: 2015-09-28

• Elevation Influenced Bicycle Routing - Enabled elevation influenced bicycle routing. A "use-hills" option was added to the bicycle costing profile that can tune routes to avoid hills based on grade and amount of elevation change.
• "Loop Edge" Fix - Fixed a bug with edges that form a loop. Split them into 2 edges during data import.
• Additional information returned from 'locate' method - Added information that can be useful when debugging routes and data. Adds information about nodes and edges at a location.
• Guidance/Narrative Updates - Added side of street to destination narrative. Updated verbal instructions.
