4.4.0

  • 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.
