What's fixed

Coastline and boundary data come down when a map asks for them. On a new machine a build with Coastlines or Search index on went ahead without the data they read: the sea was derived from the extract, and addresses had no real city or region. A build now fetches a missing pack once and keeps it for every build after, picks up a dropped download where it stopped, and goes on without the pack, with a warning, when the mirror cannot be reached.

  • House numbers are left out, and their row on the build form shows a dash, while the search index is off: they are only found through it.
  • The build log stops scrolling at its first line instead of emptying from the bottom.
  • Every zoom level in Zoom plans shows a rough scale instead of a bare column number.
  • The JSON stream reports every stage running before done, even one that starts and ends between 2 polls.
  • On macOS the Terminal window that kmap.app opens now closes when kmap ends, whatever the Terminal profile says. A window that also holds other tabs stays open.
  • On Ubuntu 26.04 kmap no longer crashes when a download ends, as it did installing mkgmap and its patch.

Upgrading

Install over the top. On Debian and Ubuntu sudo apt install ./kmap_1.7.5_<arch>.deb; on
other Linux unpack the archive and put kmap on your PATH; on Windows run the installer;
on macOS replace the app. Profiles, styles and cached downloads stay put.

Which file

System File
Windows kmap-1.7.5.exe - one installer, whatever the machine
macOS kmap-1.7.5.dmg - one image, whatever the Mac
Debian, Ubuntu kmap_1.7.5_amd64.deb for 64-bit x86, kmap_1.7.5_arm64.deb for 64-bit ARM
Other Linux kmap_1.7.5_linux_x86_64.tar.xz for 64-bit x86, kmap_1.7.5_linux_aarch64.tar.xz for 64-bit ARM

Windows 10 1803 or later, macOS 13 or later, Ubuntu 20.04, Debian 11 or later, any other
Linux with glibc 2.17 or later. dpkg --print-architecture or uname -m prints the word
you need.

First run

Nothing here is code-signed, so the first launch takes one extra click. On Windows:
More info, then Run anyway. On macOS: right-click kmap and choose Open;
from macOS 15, System Settings, Privacy & Security, Open Anyway.
