Summary for 2025-03: Focused on delivering robust data modeling, UI reliability, and deployment flexibility across the OpendTect repository. Key features delivered include (1) JSON Key Definitions Centralization and Sampling Integration: centralized JSON keys usage updated in TrcKeySampling and TrcKeyZSampling, with a new header file for JSON keys and minor cleanup to BufferString initialization related to JSON keys; (2) External random-trace attributes support and UI integration: added support for creating random trace attributes via a new virtual createRdmTrcAttrib function and updated the UI to display external attributes on random lines; (3) Custom application version support for deployments: introduced prioritization of ver.custom.txt with fallbacks to ver.basedata.txt or the project version to improve custom installations. Major bugs fixed include (1) Display data consistency fix for TrcKeyPath vs TrcKeySet: resolved inconsistency where geometry updates were not propagated to TrcKeyPath by replacing TrcKeyPath with TrcKeySet to ensure displayed data reflects updated geometry. Overall impact and accomplishments: enhanced data integrity between internal geometry models and UI, improved deployment customization, and extended toolset for handling external attributes. Technologies/skills demonstrated: C++ backend changes, JSON key management, UI integration, and deployment/versioning practices in a large codebase (OpendTect/OpendTect).
