v2.19.0 (2026-07-16)

Overview

Vite Horizon 2.19.0 adds the Map Composer panel, so print and report jobs can be submitted, tracked and uploaded without leaving Horizon, and gives the Filter Tool the ability to build a WHERE clause from a plain-English description.

Breaking Changes

New Features and Improvements

Map Composer panel

A new floating, draggable panel submits jobs to the Map Composer service and follows them through to completion. It has three tabs:

  • New Job — pick a map product, paper size, scale, format and "prepared for", then choose the target: a coordinate (with pick-on-map), one of your saved My-Layer polygons, or a search ID. Selecting several targets queues one job per target.
  • Upload Data — upload a PHA, Survival Map or FIRS workbook; results are emailed by the service.
  • My Jobs — your job history, newest first, with live status updates and the option to delete a job that has not started yet.

The panel stays open while you work with other panels, and job status is refreshed automatically while it is open.

See the Map Composer guide.

New Job is in beta

The New Job tab is limited to a beta group while it is being validated. Upload Data and My Jobs are available to everyone, and the heading reads "Map Composer (Beta)".

Describe a filter in plain English

The Filter Tool's Advanced tab can now generate a WHERE clause from a description such as "stands over 50 hectares planted before 2010". The generated clause is put in the editor for you to check — it is never applied automatically — and it passes through exactly the same validation as one you type yourself.

See the Filter Tool guide.

Under the Hood

  • Job targets are validated in the browser using the same rules the service applies, so an unusable target is caught before a job is queued.
  • The product catalogue is fetched in a single cached request rather than several, with a fallback if the cache is unavailable.
  • Coordinate targets are entered and validated in GDA94 / MGA Zone 55 (EPSG:28355), matching the rest of Horizon.
