Maria Map Maker release notes

4.6.0

The engine for importing raster GeoPackages (massivegeopackage) is now also implemented for importing coverage and elevation data. This means faster imports and the option to clip the output using a vector dataset.
New option Tiling scheme which allows GoogleMapsCompatible tiling for raster, coverage and elevation datasets. This entails that the source dataset is reprojected to Web Mercator and resampled to the global GoogleMapsCompatible tiling scheme. This will increase processing time and may lower the resolution of the dataset, but it will also give an increase in performance in the output dataset. It can also be useful if the source dataset uses a spatial reference system which is not supported by the Maria GDK core components.
New setting to allow the application to remember map position and scale between runs.
Elevation datasets are now previewd with a color map when opened.
New command Query-Product in MariaMapMakerCLI lists information on products and datasets in a folder.
Improved help messages in MariaMapMakerCLI.
UI enhancements
Bugfixes

New engine for importing 8 bit raster GeoPackages (massivegeopackage). Large input datasets consisting of multiple files will be imported using multiple logical processors, potentially increasing performance by several factors.
New type of GeoPackage dataset: Coverage GeoPackage. This type can be chosen when importing 16, 32 or 64 bit regular gridded data. It can represent any geographical phenomenon, such as land cover, temperature, heatmap, etc. These datasets can be visualized with Color map layers in overlays and templates.
Mapbox format vector styling: new function attribute fanout can create a set of layers based on unique values of an attribute. It can also create layers based on set intervals in numerical attributes.
Mapbox format vector styling: new logical operator OR can now be used in combination with AND to create more advanced filters.
Right-click anywhere in the map to get geographical info about the clicked position, as well as information about visible datasets covering it.
Separate command line tool to create and update products and datasets (MariaMapMakerCLI). Can be used in scripts on datasets which require frequent updates.
New function to duplicate vector datasets within a product. The MBTiles data file is not duplicated, only referenced, so multiple datasets can be styled indepedently without multiple copies of the data.
