And we're back, with a nice gentle start to the year 🙂. The update took place during the evening of the 4th January. For a full list of changes in v2.54, please visit the Alloy Changelog.

Reworked Routing 🏁

The Routing Editor lets you plot a journey between the locations of tasks within a project. Once you've added the required locations and any custom waypoints, you can optimise the route in two ways:

• Fastest - find the quickest path between the waypoints in their current order, based on road data.
• Shortest - reorder the waypoints to minimise overall travel distance.

If you choose the shortest option, the Routing Editor now updates automatically to reflect the (possibly) reordered waypoints.

Show layers in read-only Geometry Editor 🗺️

When viewing an item's details, you can switch to the Geometry tab and select the Item Location thumbnail to view the item's geometry in the Geometry Editor.

Previously, it wasn't possible to display other items in the Geometry Editor when in this "read-only" mode.

However, you can now open the menu and select Show layers just the same as when editing the item's geometry. This toggles the display of items according to which layers are currently enabled for the main map area.

Add parent links on Android✔️🔗

Following on from last month, you can now add parent links in Alloy Mobile Android as well as remove them.

To manage the parents of any item, select the 3-dot icon beside Originates From and choose Add or Remove as needed. For more detail, see last month's release.
