Fairness KPI for Field Service Routing and Visualization UI improvements (v0.32.1)

This new version of the Timefold Platform comes with updates to these Timefold Models:

Employee Shift Scheduling (v1 | Stable)

Visualization UI improvements
: Shift tags are now displayed in the visualization.
Several smaller bugfixes.

Field Service Routing (v1 | Stable)

Adding a kpi for the load balancing constraint
: We have added a new KPI for the load balancing constraint that we introduced with v0.30.0. See the feature guide for load balancing or the Timefold Platform UI for a description of its meaning.
Recommended Time Window alignment with visits
: We have implemented
minStartTime
,
maxStartTime
, and
maxEndTime
to replace the now deprecated
startTime
and
endTime
. Adding
maxStartTime
opens the possibility to get recommendations for fixed-start visits (these are visits where
minStartTime
equals
maxStartTime
).
Documentation improvements
: The feature guide explaining Lunch breaks and personal appointments was updated to include how to model “Hotel breaks”, we have added a guide explaining multi-vehicle visits and the Fairness guide has been updated to include examples and images.
Several smaller bugfixes.

We have also made several stability, security and performance improvements to the Timefold Platform, including better compression to save on required storage (useful for self-hosted installations) and increased performance.
