ODC Explorer 3.1.0 (2025-10-07)

ODC Explorer 3.1.0 (2025-10-07)

There's been a huge number of merged PRs since the last release, albeit mostly invisible to users.

The major areas of change are:

• Fix the slow/flaky STAC Collections endpoint at /stac/collections
• Speed up and fix flaky tests and the running of tests in GitHub Actions
• Removed unneeded dependencies and updated the rest
• Lots and lots of typing/tidying/linting fixes, mostly invisible, but should make the code easier to work on and

3.0.0

This is the first release compatible with datacube 1.9, and the version number has been bumped to be more in alignment with the 1.9 suite.

Primarily, this release implements full support for the postgis index driver, which saw a major refactoring of cubedash/summary. The new ExplorerIndex class provides an index driver abstraction layer to enable support for both the postgres and the postgis drivers.
There now exist postgis-compatible versions of all cubedash tables implemented using ORM declarative mappings, in alignment with datacube-core.
Note, the datacube environment must now be set up in accordance with the new configuration engine. See the migration guide for more details.

What's Changed

• Add PostGIS support by @Ariana-B in #634

Full Changelog: 2.12.4...3.0.0

2.12.4

What's Changed

• Dockerfile: fixate GDAL version by @pjonsson in #620
• [pre-commit.ci] pre-commit autoupdate by @pre-commit-ci in #621
• [pre-commit.ci] pre-commit autoupdate by @pre-commit-ci in #622
• Require fiona 1.10.0 by @pjonsson in #624
• docs: fix flask-caching URL by @pjonsson in #626
• [pre-commit.ci] pre-commit autoupdate by @pre-commit-ci in #628

• [pre-commit.ci] pre-commit autoupdate by @pre-commit-ci in #632
• Bump codecov/codecov-action from 4 to 5 by @dependabot in #633
• [pre-commit.ci] pre-commit autoupdate by @pre-commit-ci in #635

Full Changelog: 2.12.3...2.12.4

Full Changelog: 2.12.2...2.12.3

2.12.2

What's Changed

• Don't double run GitHub Actions Docker build on Release by @omad in #606
• [pre-commit.ci] pre-commit autoupdate by @pre-commit-ci in #608
• Fix the /robots.txt response by @omad in #609

Full Changelog: 2.12.1...2.12.2

2.12.1

What's Changed

• Add robots.txt by @Ariana-B in #607

Full Changelog: 2.12.0...2.12.1

2.12.0

What's Changed

• Restrict search to indexed fields by @Ariana-B in #601

  This change will hopefully reduce the (significant) load caused by web scraping bots running queries on unindexed fields. In Digital Earth Australia, each query takes about 20 seconds on database time, and quickly exhausts the number of operational worker threads.

Docker changes

• Update to gunicorn 22.0.0 by @pjonsson in #593

• Add dockerignore by @pjonsson in #597

Package Updates

• Update to setuptools>=61 by @pjonsson in #590
• [pre-commit.ci] pre-commit autoupdate by @pre-commit-ci in #594
• [pre-commit.ci] pre-commit autoupdate by @pre-commit-ci in #592
• [pre-commit.ci] pre-commit autoupdate by @pre-commit-ci in #599
• [pre-commit.ci] pre-commit autoupdate by @pre-commit-ci in #602
• [pre-commit.ci] pre-commit autoupdate by @pre-commit-ci in #604

Full Changelog: 2.11.0...2.12.0

2.11.0

• The first caused pagination failures of STAC API Responses to pystac-client (Thanks @Ariana-B in #578)
