multigtfs 0.4.0 released (and 0.4.1, and 0.4.2)

August 2, 2014

I released multigtfs 0.4.0 on June 21, 2014, then 0.4.1 on July 11th, and 0.4.2 on July 20th.

multigtfs is a Django app that supports importing and exporting of GTFS feeds, a standard format for describing transit schedules. multigtfs allows multiple feeds to be stored in the database at once.

These releases are a big step forward. The highlights are:

  • Much faster imports and exports. For one large GTFS feed, the import went from 12 hours to 41 minutes. In a more typical feed, the import went from 29 minutes to 1 minute, and export from 5 minutes to 24 seconds.
  • Support for extra columns, used by many agencies to extend GTFS.
  • Extra configuration to make the Django admin usable after importing lots of data.
  • Python3 support
