4.0.0

UI/feature updates

• Marker, line and map names are now empty by default. They are still displayed as "Untitled marker", "Untitled line" and "Unnamed map" as a fallback, but when editing the name and when hovering the marker/line, the name is now empty.
• Use "high accuracy" mode for current location
• Use Lima Labs as the new default map style. It is very similar to Mapnik, just a little bit nicer and provides high-resolution tiles so that the map doesn't look blurry on smartphones anymore
• When there is more than one marker/line type, show the type next to the marker/line name (#243)
• Introduce dashed and dotted stroke styles for lines (#239)
• Add QR code button to share dialog and other "Copy URL to clipboard" cases to quickly transfer the map URL to smartphones
• Make marker colour/shape and line colour/width compatible with OsmAnd in GPX export (#246)

  • CSV export
  • HTML table to clipboard (to be pasted into spreadsheet apps)

• Load long click result asynchronously. Coordinates are shown immediately, more info is shown when it arrives.
• Make types and views reorderable.

Bug fixes

• Reset line point cache on zoom level changes to improve frontend performance
• Add oEmbed configuration
• Allow disabling the creation of default types when creating a map (through createDefaultTypes property)

3.4.0

UI updates

• Add a service worker so that (mobile) browsers now automatically offer installing FacilMap as an app.

Bug fixes

• Make local storage persistent. This makes sure that the browser doesn't clear bookmarks when the system is running low in disk space.
• Fix an error where mobile phones were showing the desktop view instead of the mobile view.

Technical changes

• Use spatial indexes for line/route points and markers. This drastically reduces the loading time for maps that have a lot of routes.

• Document Leaflet components.
• Basic documentation of the FacilMap frontend API.
• Improve documentation front page.

3.1.0

UI updates

• Render map name as part of static HTML so that search engines can pick it up better

3.0.0

UI updates

• The search box now has tabs to switch between the search form and the route form
• Selecting map objects opens a new tab in the search box rather than replacing the legend
• Importing a file and long-clicking the map open a new tab in the search box rather than being opened in the search form
• Removed OpenMapSurfer layer (as it is not available anymore)
• Fix relief layer

• New emit, emitResolve and emitReject events allow advanced hooking into events
• _set and _delete methods that can be overridden for Vue reactivity support
• _decodeData and _encodeData to allow using an ES6 Map for the marker/line data. Use a null-property object by default.

All changes should be backwards compatible.

• Updated from Bootstrap 3 to Bootstrap 4
• Extracted Leaflet.AutoGraticule, Leaflet.FreieTonne, Leaflet.HighlightableLayers, Leaflet.DraggableLines into external modules.

• Major rewrite of most components with many bugfixes and improvements.
