v2.27.0 (2026-08-05)

Overview

Vite Horizon 2.27.0 fixes three Imagery Tool symbology problems — two of which produced a wrong picture with no error at all — adds a Slope Logging (FPC bands) colour scheme, temporarily withdraws the Slope VT data source, and tidies the Slope Classification panel.

Breaking Changes

"Slope VT" temporarily withdrawn

The alternative Slope VT source is no longer offered in the Slope Classification Tool, by request. The tool now runs against the primary Slope raster, so there is nothing to choose before analysing.

The Custom Degree Ranges editor belonged to that source, so it is unavailable too — the tool reports the fixed Forest Practices Code bands, and a notice in the panel says so. Both can be reinstated together.

See the Slope Classification guide.

New Features and Improvements

New colour scheme: Slope Logging (FPC bands)

A slope colour scheme in degrees, transcribed from the in-house GeoServer style, that draws the same five Forest Practices Code logging bands the Slope Classification Tool reports (≤11°, 11–19°, 19–26°, 26–35°, >35°). It is featured in the Imagery Tool's colour-scheme picker, and it means a symbolised slope raster and a slope report agree on what each band means.

See the Imagery Tool guide.

Imagery symbology fixes

Three problems, all reached through ordinary use of the Imagery Tool:

• Shaded Relief after a classified symbology failed with a generic "couldn't apply" message. It now applies correctly.
• Unique Values after a classified symbology was worse: it applied with no error, showing a legend of bare numbers over a nearly blank raster. It now reads the real raster values.
• A Stretch rendering of a clustered colour scheme lost most of its colours. On the new slope scheme, only two of its five colours survived and more than half the gradient was flat black. All the scheme's colours are now preserved.

Restore Default was verified to still put the layer back correctly after each of these.

Slope Classification: tools now switch off properly

Several controls in the Slope Classification panel left the drawing tool live after appearing to switch it off — most visibly Reset, after which the next map click could add a shape back to the layer that had just been cleared. Reset, both preset shapes, the draw button, select-from-layer and edit now all disarm whatever was active.

Consistent text rendering

Six panels — Line of Sight, Slope Classification, VR Calculator, Visibility Surface, Filter and the graphics-style settings — were rendering text in the wrong font, so they looked inconsistent with the rest of the application.

Under the Hood

• The Slope Classification panel's custom-range inputs gained accessible names for screen readers, and its results card and tool row gained proper labels.
• Vue and the Vite build toolchain were updated to their latest patch releases.
