Aryan Gupta (@workaryangupta) has implemented during GSoC2024 several enhancements to improve communication efficiency within MSColab.
Users can now personalize their MSColab experience by adding a profile image.
The chat system has been enhanced with separate channels dedicated to service messages,
which provide more granular details on collaborator actions, such as
"waypoint {num} moved" or "created hexagon." Visual indicators show which users are currently
active in the chat, displayed beneath their profile images. Additionally,
the MSUI now displays the number of users actively working on a selected operation.
These enhancements aim to provide a more intuitive and efficient communication experience for all MSColab users.

Preetam Sundar Das (@Preetam-Das26) enhanced during GSoC2024 the mssautoplot CLI Script by integrating an Autoplot Docking Widget, significantly extending its functionality. This new addition offers a comprehensive Graphical User Interface (GUI), providing users with additional features and flexibility to manage and customize their
plot downloads effortlessly. The widget is seamlessly accessible across all
three views (Top View, Side View, and Linear View) ensuring that users can configure
their plots from any perspective that best suits their workflow.
This enhancement not only simplifies the plotting process but also enhances usability
by allowing users to interact with their plot settings in a visual, user-friendly manner.

Rohit Prasad (@rohit2p) significantly improved during GSoC2024 the Multiple Flightpath Docking Widget with several key features. He added Select/Deselect All checkboxes for managing multiple tracks quickly,
along with controls to adjust line thickness, style, and transparency of flight track lines.
Additionally, he implemented an automatic distinct color selection feature.
This ensures each new flight track is easily distinguishable by assigning unique colors from
a predefined list, eliminating confusion caused by overlapping or similar-colored flight paths.
Prasad also introduced customization options for flight track lines in both the
Side View and Top View Option Widgets. Users can now adjust line thickness, style, and transparency,
with their preferences saved for future use.
Furthermore, he enhanced user experience by introducing a new custom color palette that provides visually
distinct colors. This makes it easier to differentiate between multiple flight paths,
improving both functionality and aesthetics of the application.

Matthias Riße (@matrss) implemented a new database migration setup for MSColab,
transitioning from versions 8 or 9 to the latest versions (v10 onwards).
He also enhanced both the Continuous Integration (CI) setup and developer installation process.
These improvements have resulted in a more efficient and reproducible CI environment
while simplifying developer installations.
By adopting pixi (prefix-dev), the project can now manage dependencies more effectively,
ensuring that both local development environments and the CI environment are consistent.
This alignment leads to fewer errors, faster updates, and an overall smoother workflow.

Jörn Ungermann (@joernu76) reorganized the archive of operations and enhanced the request processes for MSColab Operations.

Reimar Bauer (@ReimarBauer) made several improvements to the handling of operations in both MSUI and MSColab.

HINT:

The MSColab database migration process has been updated.
Please follow the steps outlined in our documentation.
Additionally, we have modified the installation process by introducing pixi (prefix-dev).
Pixi packages can coexist with both Anaconda default and Miniforge3 conda-forge packages.
However, it is important to note that Anaconda's default channel is incompatible with conda-forge.
The MSColab Server model has been updated, and it now requires an MSUI of the same version to function correctly.
However, the compatibility with the MSWMS Server remains unchanged.

We renamed config vars of the MSColab server configuration mscolab_settings.py:

MSCOLAB_DATA_DIR -> OPERATIONS_DATA
MSCOLAB_SSO_DIR -> SSO_DIR

Because pixi does not support yet menuinst, we removed the feature to get an MSUI icon on your desktop installed.
