v0.8.0 — Geospatial Norway

0.8.0 — 2026-07-26

Minor Changes

• Geospatial Norway. Adds three anonymous, experimental namespaces for focused catalogue,
  environmental and land-resource use. The SDK deliberately remains a curated data client rather
  than a general GIS proxy.

  sdk.geodata — Geonorge / Kartverket catalogue. searchDatasets() and searchServices()
  return bounded, deterministically ordered metadata results; searchDatasetsAll() and
  searchServicesAll() expose caller-bounded async iterators. getMetadata(), getDataset() and
  getService() normalize publisher, themes, licence, geographic extent, update metadata,
  distributions and related services. Discovery classifies WFS, WMS, OGC API Features, ArcGIS REST,
  downloadable files and other published links, but the SDK never follows a discovered URL or
  grants access to the resource behind it.

  sdk.environment — Miljødirektoratet / Naturbase. Adds point lookups, bounding-box searches
  and lazy bounded iterators for current protected areas, proposed protected areas, modern NiN
  nature localities and the January 2023 intervention-free nature status. The integration is
  intentionally limited to these useful public vector layers instead of exposing every map layer.

  sdk.land — NIBIO AR50. Adds point lookup, bounding-box search and a bounded iterator for the
  open generalized AR50 land-resource classification. Restricted agreement-based Geovekst AR5,
  parcel-precision data and soil/cultivation-suitability products are not included.

  profiles.natureAtLocation() — a partial cross-provider nature profile. Composes all five
  Naturbase/NIBIO datasets with the nearest official Kartverket place and municipality context.
  Each operation retains its real source, retrieval time and attribution. Provider failures degrade
  to component warnings without removing successful sections; caller cancellation still rejects
  the complete call.

  Profile-source compatibility and provenance. Existing profiles.company(),
  profiles.address(), profiles.municipality() and profiles.vessel() responses retain their
  synthetic top-level composite source identities. The new nature profile also uses a synthetic
  top-level source so a multi-provider result is not attributed to only one provider. The additive
  sources array is derived from successful components and carries their real provider descriptors,
  preserving separate entries when licence or mandatory attribution text differs; components
  retains per-operation provenance.

  Strict shared GeoJSON and bounded feature paging. Adds runtime validation for two-dimensional
  WGS84 Point, MultiPoint, LineString, Polygon, MultiPolygon, polygon holes, null geometry, feature
  identifiers, feature collections and CRS declarations. Naturbase and NIBIO request server-side
  WGS84 output while retaining the advertised source CRS. Unsupported CRS declarations are rejected;
  the SDK does not silently reinterpret coordinates and includes no client-side reprojection engine.
  Feature searches default to 100 results, expose truncation and continuation metadata, propagate
  AbortSignal, and stop repeated cursors, repeated pages and empty endless pages.

  Scope and verification. WMS image rendering, arbitrary caller-supplied upstream URLs,
  restricted datasets and full-country downloads remain out of scope. Deterministic offline tests
  cover geometry, CRS, ArcGIS/WFS/OGC paging, truncation, attribution and partial profiles; bounded
  anonymous live probes are opt-in through the existing RUN_LIVE_TESTS switch. No new credentials
  or environment variables are required.

Release verification

• Public API: 22 namespaces and 118 supported methods, including Geonorge, Naturbase and NIBIO.
• Verification: 1,177 tests passed before publication.
