v2.24.0 (2026-07-30)

Overview

Vite Horizon 2.24.0 removes the Horizon Analyst tool at the request of its users, and with it the real-time connection that existed only to serve it. Horizon now starts without waiting for that connection.

Breaking Changes

Horizon Analyst removed

Horizon Analyst is no longer listed in the Report Tools dropdown, and Horizon no longer hands geometry to the Analyst application or accepts zoom instructions back from it.

The Horizon Analyst application itself is still deployed and reachable by its own URL; it simply has no integration with Horizon. If you relied on the hand-off, raise it with the GIS team so it can be reviewed before any replacement is built.

New Features and Improvements

Slightly faster startup

Horizon used to open a real-time connection during startup — the "Connecting to servers…" step — before the map was set up. That connection existed only for the Horizon Analyst hand-off, so it has been removed and startup goes straight to loading the map.

Under the Hood

• The removal was traced in both directions before anything was deleted, so nothing else depended on the connection.
• Startup messages now appear before the step they describe, rather than after it — previously the first message was replaced too quickly to be read.
