11/10/2021 - Release 6.4.11
Data Management
- Fixed a bug where the FMU/SO legend color for some units did not match the map color.
- Unit ID ORNWA is now Unit ID ORCCT to correctly represent the Cow Creek Band of the Umpqua Tribe of Indians.
Shapes
- Added a check to prevent users from uploading or saving M.A.P.s if there is already an existing M.A.P. with that name.
- Corrected an issue in which Line M.A.P.s were displaying the wrong status on map captures and Polygon M.A.P.s were missing from the map capture if they were not associated with Text.
- Increased the point limit from 100 to 1,000 for Other Unit Shape uploads.
- Fixed a bug where Ignition and M.A.P.s lines were not correctly removed from the database when users deleted shapes.
Incidents
- Fixed an issue where the Incident Content Tree for an Incident breaks when a user with an apostrophe in their last name uploaded an image, took a Map Capture, or completed an analysis for an incident.
- Fixed an issue that allowed the creation of an incident without the minimum required fields of Local Number, Acres, and Discovery Time.
Analysis
- Fixed a bug that occasionally caused large Landscapes to not process completely.
- Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) landscape analyses have been disabled due to a code bug.
- Improved LCP file management by deleting residual files when a new LCP is saved. This reduces LCP corruption issues.

- Added LANDFIRE 2016 data for the island of Puerto Rico.
- Added LANDFIRE 2016 data for the U.S. Virgin Islands.
- LANDFIRE 2016 2020 Capable fuels are available for all Alaska zones except zone 80 (far southwest Alaska).
Decisions
- Removed notification of failed images for decisions when the images were not included in the decision.
- Fixed a bug where a Merged M.A.P. map image in a pending decision is out-of-date when the decision was copied from a published decision.
Data Layers
- Geographic Areas are displayed under the Boundaries category. To view this layer on the map, mark it as a selectable layer from System Preferences. Click the question mark next to the layer for a definition of Geographic Areas.
- Fixed a bug on the "WFDSS Fires Since 1/1" layer to ensure the layer displays perimeters with an effective date in the current calendar year, regardless of the year the fire started. Users loading fire perimeters need to ensure the correct effective date is entered to reflect the currency of the perimeter.
- Fixed the currency date for the National Wild and Scenic Rivers layer to ensure it is configured identically across all environments.
- Fixed the Sage Grouse Layer display to ensure it matches the legend.
- Fixed issues with Building Cluster data in Virginia, Idaho, Montana, Tennessee, Utah, and Colorado.
- Fixed an issue where Fuel Treatment Categories other than Fire, Mechanical, and Other were not displaying on the map.
System Support
- The Decision service broker is now its own broker in order to decrease "closed connection" errors that cause decision failures.
- Adjusted the method where scheduled tasks are triggered to run. This improves efficiency and reduces the possibility of redundant tasks.
- Cleaned up the database for all four environments to eliminate orphaned M.A.P.s from deleted incidents.
- Fixed an issue where the National Preparedness Level was not automatically updating in WFDSS Banner.
- Added an External URL List, including a description of the connections and where they are used in the application, to the Support tab.
- Fixed a JavaScript error occurring for some user roles on the System Preferences tab.
- Modified a support email that reports on the enabled units IDs in the Data Management tab that are not in the NWCG active unit list to ensure it correctly reports the unit IDs.
- Added two more transaction types to the Support tab: Animation Map Images and Analysis Reprojections.
- Improved the system health check notifications to include checks on brokers that did not restart themselves.
- Added Decision Failures to the System Health Check notification emails.
- Fixed an issue where Refresh Properties was not refreshing changes made to Notification names.
System Utilities
- Updated the utility that creates the bounding boxes and legend colors for FMUs/SOs so that the colors of the layers match the legend.
- Updated the nightly utility that pulls observations from WIMS so that it repulls historical observations and recalculates ERC G for all stations daily. Fixed a bug to ensure null Wet Flag values calculate as No Wet Flag.
- Fixed a file utilities bug that caused occasional failures when copying files while creating LCPs, running analysis, and publishing the Help.
Administration
- Adjusted the URL for the Google Search on the WFDSS Homepage from http to https.
