v1.1.0
August 2025
v1.0.18 → v1.1.0
Summary
Introduction of API key authentication, route coverage metrics, and significant routing improvements including headland traversal rework and forced straight connectors.
New Features
1. API Key Authentication
API keys can now be used for authenticating API requests, enabling programmatic access to the LaunchPad platform without user session tokens.
2. Route Coverage Metrics
Route responses now include coverage metrics showing the percentage of the field covered by the generated route.
3. Routing Settings Exposed
Headland routing settings (turn extending, headland drive-through, track shortening) are now configurable through the API.
Improvements
- Significantly improved headland traversal for more efficient routing
- Straight connectors now supported for tracks on opposite sides of headland passes
- Improved turn connectors for better headland alignment
- Better route error handling with specific translated error messages
- Bearing suggestions for straight tracks
Bug Fixes
- Fixed connectors going in the wrong direction
- Fixed extended tracks missing headlands
- Fixed connector crossing issues in certain field geometries
- Fixed area calculations for curved track path plans
