Ara

Dependencies upgrade

In accordance with our continuous upgrade policy and to prepare next features, the Ara technical dependencies have been upgraded. For example, the Ara user interface uses now Ruby on Rails 8.

Chouette Valid

Valid only schema by using none ruleset

The user can start a Validation by using the ruleset none. In this case, no rule will be validated on the submitted file.

With this ruleset, the user can only valid the file schema (like the NeTEx XML Schema Definition):

secretary-cli create validation --ruleset="none" --include-schema /path/to/netex.zip

NeTEx XML Schema Definition upgrades

Chouette Valid uses the latest NeTEX XML Schema Definitions provided by https://github.com/NeTEx-CEN/NeTEx/.

The user can valid file schemas with the latest versions of master and next NeTEX XSDs:

secretary-cli create validation --ruleset="french" --include-schema --schema-version="master" /path/to/netex.zip 
secretary-cli create validation --ruleset="french" --include-schema --schema-version="next" /path/to/netex.zip

Better support for invalid files

When the user creates a Validation with an invalid file, Chouette Valid tries to report the situation as a validation message (like an empty XML file).

We improved the support of invalid ZIP files (where the XML entries are unreadable).

Better support for long NeTEx XSD validations

The Chouette Valid technical components have been improved to avoid failures in Validations, which requires long NeTEx XSD validations.

Documentation

The user documentation has been improved, especially on these points:
