Biowatch - 1.9.5

What's New

See the CHANGELOG for the full list of changes.

Highlights

• AMMonitor Camera Traps is now importable from the LILA dropdown (~1.86M images, 76 non-blank categories), with common-name → scientific-name mapping so most species resolve to clean binomials.
• Activity charts normalize per species so you can compare activity shapes — each selected species scales to its own peak instead of being flattened by more abundant ones. Line charts also gained 10% Y-axis headroom so peaks aren't clipped.
• "unlabeled" now sorts to the bottom of the species lists (Overview, Explore, Media).

Biowatch - 1.9.4

What's New

See the full changelog: CHANGELOG.md

Highlights

• Revamped Media tab - Sortable, virtualized Table view (the new default) alongside the Grid, with a Type column, per-species counts, and Title Case common names; lightbox next/prev follows the table sort
• In-flow filter pane - Species and Deployment distributions, a media-type (images/videos) filter, collapsible search, and a count ↔ A–Z sort; quick views moved into a toolbar dropdown (Detections by default); filters persist across tab navigation, with deep links from Deployments and Sources
• Rich hover cards - Filter pills and deployment rows show a location map (other-survey markers, drag-to-pan, scroll-zoom), a survey-wide activity heatmap, and an images/videos breakdown; Explore species cards add activity charts beside the photo
• Species photo fallback - Tooltips now fall back to a real study photo when there's no bbox-scored best image (e.g. CamTrap DP / GBIF imports), with a polished "No photo available" empty state
• Consistent "Blank" - Defined at the whole-sequence level across the Media table, deployment composition, badges, and filters
• Performance - Deployment composition moved off the UI thread, faster low-res Table thumbnails, and a partial index that turns the multi-second "usable bbox" probe into an instant lookup on large no-bbox studies

Biowatch - 1.9.3

What's New

See the full changelog: CHANGELOG.md

Highlights

• Merge a Study as a Source - New Add Source wizard merges one study into another: pick a folder or existing study, review a pre-flight summary (counts, contributors, descriptions), then merge. Runs in a worker thread, reports progress, and is cancellable mid-run (transaction rolls back).
• Explore Tab - The Activity tab is reborn as Explore, combining the species-distribution map and media gallery into one view with a Map / Gallery / Both toggle, a collapsible species rail with chips and hover cards, and animated transitions.
• Map Encoding Modes - The species-distribution map now offers markers, density heatmap, and hex-grid encodings, with your choice persisted across reloads.
• Daytime & Area Filters - Filter activity widgets by time of day (polar ring or line-mode track) and by map area (drag a box). The area filter also scopes the media gallery.
• Threatened-Species Navigation - Clicking a threatened species in the Overview jumps straight to Explore, focused on that species.
• Worker-Threaded Imports - CamtrapDP / GBIF imports run in a worker thread with real-time, per-batch progress instead of bursty updates.
• Fixes & Performance - Accurate deployment counts on the Overview map and Sources tab, ellipsis truncation for long species names, and out-of-memory fixes for merging and sequence aggregation on multi-million-row studies.

Biowatch - 1.9.2

What's New

See the full changelog: CHANGELOG.md

Highlights

• MegaDetector v6 - New detection-only model choice with LitServe HTTP server, main-process launcher, bbox routing through a new detectModelType branch, dedicated card UI hiding the species panel, and person labels mapped to the Homo sapiens binomial
• Rich-Card Model Picker - New ModelSelect dropdown used across the Import and Add-source flows, replacing the standalone "Install AI Models" CTA; install-status helper (unit-tested), highlight-on-mount for a target model from route state, synchronous Radix hover
• Starting Import Modal - New-study flow keeps the modal open with a transitional view until the first job lands, showing a live progress bar with counts and ETA and a 3 s minimum display before auto-close
• Import Status Header - Study bar redesigned with behavior tooltips; stale Speed / Finishes hidden while paused
• SpeciesNet 4.0.2a - Geofence rules and taxonomy refreshed upstream (same classifier weights as 4.0.1a); existing 4.0.1a predictions remain tagged historically and continue to display correctly
• UI Polish - Delete-study modal copy clarified (original media files on disk are not deleted), daily-activity radar clipped inside the visible clock ring, timeline x-axis ticks scale with chart width, "Get in touch" moved to the top-right of the custom model card
• ML Robustness - Corrupt-image partial-failure predictions handled gracefully; ML server rejects corrupt video metadata so false-positive animal tags don't slip through; MegaDetector pseudo-species map to the correct Camtrap DP observationType on export

Biowatch - 1.9.1

What's New

See the full changelog: CHANGELOG.md

Highlights

• Deployments CSV Import/Export - New always-visible Export / Import strip on the Deployments tab, visible even when a study has no timestamps (LILA, COCO — the studies that most need it). Export opens a preview modal (read-only table + editable-column hints) then writes a CSV. Import opens a drag-and-drop picker → virtualised diff-preview modal (old → new cells, row-level highlighting, cell tooltips, clickable summary tiles that filter rows) → single-transaction apply. Edits latitude, longitude, and locationName; locationName propagates across locationID.
• Row-Level Import Blocking - CSV import gating switched from cell-level skipping to row-level blocking: any row with a warning is excluded from apply. Preview counts, row highlighting, legend, and the Apply (N) button all reflect the row-level model.
• Layout Polish - Tighter study-page tabs with map-only top padding on Deployments; CSV strip aligned to the timeline header's right edge; gap-4 study layout regression restored.

• Add Images Directory - New modal with model/country/folder picker, enabled for all study types (CamTrap-DP, LILA, GBIF, demo); locked-model warnings and an empty-state CTA when no models are installed
• Dark Theme - New Appearance settings tab (System / Light / Dark) with matching leaflet tiles and toast theming; sub-second startup via preload class injection, matchMedia fallback for Linux
• Day-Period Presets - Dawn / Day / Dusk / Night chips on Media and Activity, backed by a multi-range timeRange filter; contiguous arcs merge correctly and rich tooltips describe each window
• DailyActivityLine - X-y twin of the polar clock chart, switchable via a segmented ChartShapeToggle; drag-to-select custom hour ranges, pan-the-band that wraps midnight, draggable start/end edges
• Timeline Brush + Zoom - Scroll-wheel zoom on the Deployments timeline with live pan, line+dot handles, a filter pill summarising the date range, and per-study persistence
• Media → Deployment Links - Best-captures modal redesigned with species overlay and a DeploymentLinkPill that also lives in the media modal; deployment-settings popover shows per-deployment media + observation counts
• Study Cache Controls - New Cache section in study settings showing on-disk usage with a Clear-cache action
• Resilient Imports - Demo and GBIF imports extract into the persistent study directory (no more /tmp after restart); CamTrap-DP import more tolerant of spec deviations; LILA studies with no fileMediatype now classify videos correctly

• Species Search Across Models - SpeciesNet species list populated with 2,493 entries; per-model species data files for speciesnet, deepfaune, and manas; species hovercards on the species panel
• Undo / Redo for Annotation Edits - Cmd/Ctrl+Z and Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Z cover all four observation mutations (create, delete, classification, bbox) with bounded per-study stacks, a bbox-pulse animation on undo/redo, and a sonner toast when an operation fails
• Restore-by-ID - New observations:restore IPC and restoreObservation query backing the undo path; createObservation accepts optional observationID and eventID for restore-with-same-id behavior; getMediaBboxes now returns mediaID/deploymentID/eventID/eventStart
• Faster Annotation Workflow - Browse-mode SpeciesPicker opens its dropdown on bbox-label click; BehaviorSelector mirrors external value changes when closed; EditableBbox keeps its local override until the bbox prop catches up (no flicker)
