Cube Roadmap Anticipated Release Schedule Cube 6.4.5 – Spring 2019 Cube 6.4.6 - Summer 2019 Cube 7 Beta - Summer 2019 Cube 6.5/7 - Winter 2019/2020 Cube 6.5.1/7.0.1 – Summer 2020
Cube 6 to 7 Transition Cube 7 will be a big change from Cube 6 To help ease in the transition to Cube 7 new • releases of the Cube 6 branch will continue to be made alongside Cube 7 until it is determined that the Cube 6 branch is ready to be closed. A Cube 7 beta testing program will be launched to • give customers under maintenance early access. Migration Tools for converting updated file formats • from 6 to 7 will be made available.
Cube 6.4.5 Minor release anticipated Spring 2019 Cube Dynasim Update Cube 6.4.5 will include the latest version of Cube • Dynasim. Includes new rail features in addition to standard • maintenance updates. Cube Voyager Speed Enhancements The latest edition of Cube Voyager features a • new roadway path building option which has shown multiple factor speedup in certain applications. Maintenance and Feature Updates Standard maintenance updates along with small • feature enhancements to programs such as PT (Cube Voyager) and Cube Analyst Drive.
Cube 6.4.6 Minor release anticipated Summer 2019 Cube Land Update Cube 6.4.6 will include a new 64 bit version of • Cube Land. Cube Voyager Speed Enhancements The next edition of Cube Voyager • will bring additional speed increases in different aspects of the software.
Cube 6.5 Minor release anticipated Winter 2019 All Cube Modules Features of Cube 7 that are suitable for inclusion in • the Cube 6 branch will be identified and made available in Cube 6.5 which will be co-released with Cube 7.
Cube 7 Major release anticipated Winter 2019/2020 (Beta Release Summer 2019) Big changes are coming! New Interface Windows 10 interface with a modern look and feel • New Network Editor Network and GIS windows combined for better • functionality and user experience. Voyager Improvements Application Manager, Task Monitor, and Cube Cluster completely new
Cube 7: Next Generation Interface Updated look and feel. • Allows the user to • customize many aspects of the look and organization of the system. The user will be able • to have themes and even tie basemaps to those themes (i.e. a dark basemap along with a dark menu theme, etc).
Cube 7: Next Generation Interface Users can view • multiple tabs at once. Multiple • windows can be opened simultaneously and dragged to different screens.
Voyager Cube 7: Cluster Much greater usability and manageability Natively use of GIS formats and relational • • Based on a robust client-server protocol system rather databases throughout the system • than file based inter-process communication 32K zone limit increased to "virtually • Consolidated and centralized cluster node • unlimited" management Improved data formats and I/O performance • Compute resources (individual computers) • Full Unicode support throughout Cube 7; this • registered into the system initially will allow for seamless uses of international Cluster runs able to be started from one central • character sets for purposes of filenames, machine and managed within one interface (no strings, comments, etc longer will you have dozens of cluster voyager Further Speed Enhancements for Highway, PT • windows) and other Voyager modules Automatic determination of nodes to assign for a • particular Multistep or Intrastep Ability to manage multiple Cube Cluster compute • pools from one interface / client (i.e., multiple model runs could be started and monitored from one user interface even if each run is occurring on a different set of computers)
Cube 7: New Network Editor and Spatial Analysis High performance visualizations • with support for huge datasets A single interface for Network / • GIS data Native support for a wide variety • of modern GIS data sources, OpenGIS Simple Features or SQL/MM, such as Spatialite, PostGIS, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and more! Full support for true relational • database management systems bringing concurrent use within Cube/multiple users.
Cube 7: New Network Editor and GIS Tool Powerful query capability • allowing vector data layers to be dynamically updated using standard spatial queries Allows for very powerful • geoprocessing tasks through a standard SQL interface and templates More robust and better data • validation of network datasets Dynamically related multi- • modal networks ensuring consistency across all services and modes.
Cube 7: New Network Editor and GIS Tool • Support for multiple basemap sources, ArcGIS Online, Open Street Map data, etc • Full support for WMS/WMTS • Foundation for much more complex visualizations and animations to be added over time (GPS path animations, 2.5D desire line visualization, etc.) • Greater flexibility and quicker implementation of future capabilities
Cube 7: Application Manager Version Control In Cube 7, we are committed to creating an • • Application Manager will have a new look and experience that works very well with have more powerful visual capabilities such as: industry standard version control systems • Zooming / scaling, Full support for relative paths throughout • • An overhead mini-view of the current Cube (Scenario Manager, Application flowchart, Manager, Voyager, etc) and relative paths • Hover over group box displays preview of will be the default behavior for file paths that group's flowchart when possible, which will mean that no • Ability to view the entire application group updates are needed when the root directory tree hierarchy and navigation of a model is moved • Users may specify how far up a group hierarchy Updated configuration file formats, such as • that an input file may be "public" the catalog file, so that version control • Model run mode; AM will allow running of an systems may easily track modifications to application and all of its subgroups in a read- scenarios and keys only view that highlights the currently running Guidance on how best to use Cube with • program and various statistics about the current version control systems run (similar to Task Monitor but more detailed)
Cube 7: Other Anticipated Features Planned Python integration Improved Cube reports • • with Voyager and other Cube functions New tools and functions • for Mobility Services GPS Processing Tools modeling • New Database and Matrix • Editors A powerful data format API • for integration with various processes and workflows Migration tools for moving • from Cube 6 to 7
Beta Testing Program Citilabs’ Engineering Team will begin • soliciting users under maintenance for participation in a Cube 7 beta testing program in early 2019. Beta testers will receive early access to Cube • 7 and will be encouraged to provide feedback on the new software and migration tools via online forms. Users interested in the program can email • cube7@citilabs.com and ask to be placed on the Cube 7 beta testers mailing list.
