In preparation for version 1.2 of Tube Status Push Notifications (Tube Notify) – I have updated the Django application that serves up the data to the app. and it’s push notifications.
The changes are:
- Colors are now downloaded with the data, this will allow the next version of the application to use server side data rather than hard coded in the client. This means that any future lines added/changed will not need a new version of the application
- DLR update code added in preparation for 1.2 – Because of the Colors being hard coded, the client currently can’t cope with the DLR/Overground lines. The next release will be able to and therefore I have written some code to collate the DLR service status.
I’m not overly sure if people want Overground information. I just always assume it’s not working – as it never seems to be.
Either way, now I can finish the testing of 1.2 and get it submitted for approval. Fun fun fun!
