What kind of improvements can you expect?

• OGC Standard is implemented which supports download of traffic messages via WebFeatureService
• Duplicated messages are recognized and modified

Do I have to notice something during the update?

• Database schema changed – cf. file “TrafficInfo_table.sql”: Existing TrafficInfo table  should be removed. Use the importer to create a valid new TrafficInfo table. Otherwise an exception will be thrown. Please notice the CHANGELOG.txt which is added to the plugin.
• Updated list of supported providers for Navteq and TomTom: A full set of TomTom providers needs potentially more heap memory than configured by default. If running  on xRoute raise parameters for heap memory in wrapper.conf to at least 160 (MB).

Where do I get the add-on Traffic Info Loader 3.0?
