Hello everyone,
Here's the first "What's Up Wednesday", which I hope will take off into a regular series of midweek FME tips and news. This first time round, I'm just posting a few news items that came up this week...
New FME Build
Yesterday (4-Aug-2020) we published a new FME build, FME 2020.1.1 (b20608) with some minor fixes for 2020.1
The key updates (to me) are:
- Fixed the Tester where a cached value is the same as an existing attribute name
- Fixed partial runs from feature types with spaces in their names
- Fixed a crash during an FME Server core-only installation
As always you can find this new build on our downloads page.
New Hub Items
In case you weren't aware, there is a monthly digest of all of the functionality added to the FME Hub. For July 2020 the standout highlight is a new Google Sheets reader/writer that supports v4 of their API.
But there are other new tools too, such as:
- A Quad-Tree generator
- Shopify transformers (go to the hub and search for Shopify)
- An updated connector for SharePoint Online
- A raster brightness adjuster transformer
- A GeoServer SLD ramp creator
- ...and many more.
Upcoming Webinars
We have a handful of webinars coming up, but if you're reading this then the most likely one of interest is tomorrow (6-Aug-2020): Everything You Want to Know About the FME Community (and Hackathon)
Speaking of which, the hackathon is now live, and also has a community discussion group set up. Don't forget to form a team and sign up for this event.
Recent Blog Post
Yesterday we had a new blog post on how to post ideas to the community and how those ideas are used to drive FME updates.
I hope you find this short post of interest 😎
Mark (aka the FME Evangelist)
