Manual Changes

  • Changed mapspam_dataset codes in app_supported_commodities and cached_scores for arabica (from ‘coff’ back to ‘acof’ and small millet (from ‘mill’ back to ‘smil’) so that users with existing analyses of these commodities would be able to refresh them using the standard instructions for updates.
