Highlights​

This version brings several new features to mXrap 6, as well as a host of bugfixes and performance improvements.

We are excited to announce our new inspections and data entry app. This app is a general purpose data entry app designed for offline use with tablet devices which can be customised to fit each site's exact needs.

We have recently updated the JavaScript library mxjs/base/algorithms/filter_volumeset.js to be more efficient. If you are using this library and call the flag_members() method of volume sets directly, then you will need to update your code slightly. If you don't call flag_members() directly then you'll automatically get the efficiency updates when you upgrade without needing to do anything, and you can stop reading now :)

We're pleased to announce the release of mXrap version 6, bringing with it a range of enhancements to elevate your mXrap experience. This major update includes improvements to the user interface, as well as enhancements to speed when loading the root folder and applications. Additionally, we've upgraded the 3D rendering and navigation capabilities in the 3D views.

Recent updates which may be of interest to developers

There have been a number of recent updates to the Short-term Response Analysis app. These include:

• Chart for determining re-entry using different parameters: This chart gives you values for a particular parameter over time (based on a user-defined time window size and step). A threshold value for that parameter can be set, allowing you to see when the seismic data drops below that threshold. The parameter investigated can currently be set to energy, event count, hazard, background ratio and activity rate probability. For more information about these parameters, see Tierney et al. 2019.

The upgrade to mXrap version 5.16 introduced a variety of changes and improvements to marker styles. The changes can be separated into general updates which are relevant to all users and developer updates which are relevant to app developers who create and customise marker styles.

We have made a couple of changes to the Paste Backfill Design application since the original release. See the previous blog post for the main details of the app.

A few new features have been added to the Hazard Assessment application, aiming to improve usability, understanding and investigation. The first addition is a chart in the hazard setup window to indicate the current date range settings. Usually the date range for calculating b-value will be a lot longer than for calculating event rate. Hopefully the chart will be a handy visual aid to help you keep your bearings when setting the hazard analysis periods.

Moment tensors have been added to the General Analysis application in the recent update. Beach balls and principal axes can be viewed in the General Analysis 3D view. There is also a separate Moment Tensor window with a number of stereonets and mechanism charts. Two new training videos have been uploaded to the General Analysis (3D View) page that walkthrough the new tools.
