Changelog

November 18, 2021

Improvements 🙌🏻

  • When searching for imagery, customers will now see only imagery they have access to, by default. If you would like to see Planet's entire catalog (including imagery you don't have access to), you can click the "View Entire Catalog" toggle in the search results and filters panel.
  • Color enhancements are now faster and smoother. The auto-enhancement feature is now in the same panel as sliders to adjust for brightness, contrast, and saturation. These tools work for Basemaps and Hosted Data Scenes.

Bug Fixes 🐛

  • Orders that are delivered to cloud storage cannot be downloaded via Explorer. We have removed the "download" button for orders that cannot be downloaded via Explorer.

Improvements 🙌🏻

  • If you have access to bi-weekly basemap series they are now discoverable under the "weekly" cadence.
  • If you have clipping permissions for ordering, the tool will now be enabled by default.
  • You will now see how much tile quota you have used when looking at "My Usage" to make it consistent with our latest release of Account.
  • The "My Usage" tab has been updated to show tile quota used, and is now consistent with what you see in your Account.
  • SkySat imagery delivered to Hosted Data no longer look over saturated.

Bug Fixes 🐛

  • Fixed an issue where the selected Spectral Index would not be persisted when switching between basemaps

New ✨

  • Account has a new look and new functionality.
    • Simple visualizations so that you can see at a glance, how much quota has been used + how much is still available per plan.
    • Ability to download reports that are generated daily to show the usage of the previous day. This includes all download plans, including Area Under Management.
  • Organization Admins can:
    • Easily view all of the organizations under their management, see their respective plans and understand the quota already used + still available.
    • Download reports for all of the plans they manage.
    • View all users within the organization(s) they manage.
  • General Users can view how much quota has already been used + is still available, per plan.
  • NICFI Users can now sign up for access to NICFI Basemaps in Google Earth Engine via “My Settings”. If you had previously signed up, no action is required and you will see your access reflected in the application.

Improvements 🙌🏻

  • We’ve been working hard at making things more consistent and have done some nomenclature updates. Namely “Plan Subscriptions” is now “Plans”

Other Changes ⚙️

  • We’ve removed the “Usage” tab. You can now download reports by going directly to the Plan you’d like a report for.

October 04, 2021

The 2.1.1 patch addresses a number of quality improvements, including a time-stamp discrepancy issue impacting the image search results from the Planet inspector tool, compared to the timestamp on results returned by the image search panel. These time stamps are now consistent and accurate.

September 20, 2021

Going forward, fast-publish asset provisioning (reference L1A in Planet's imagery spec) will be AOI based, in that only the scenes that overlap the customers’ AOIs will be available for view and download by the customer. The final ortho assets will continue to be provisioned for the full overlapping SkySatCollect segment.

Additionally, only the SkySatCollect segments that overlap the tasking customers’ AOIs will be available for view and download by the customer. Hence, if a SkySat capture is broken up into multiple SkySatCollect segments, only those that overlap the customer’s AOI will be provisioned to them.
