What's new

  • Elevation comes from Copernicus by default on a new machine or in a new profile, instead of Viewfinder. Profiles already saved keep their sources.
  • kmap doctor shows which vector code the processor runs: NEON, SSE2, SSSE3, SSE4.1 or AVX2.

What's fixed

  • The build log stays put while it is scrolled back, and follows new lines only at the bottom.
  • Esc on the main menu no longer closes kmap; q and Ctrl+C still do.
  • On macOS the Terminal window that kmap.app opened closes about twice as fast when kmap ends.

Upgrading

Install over the top. On Debian and Ubuntu sudo apt install ./kmap_1.7.6_<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-1.7.6.exe - one installer, whatever the machine
macOS kmap-1.7.6.dmg - one image, whatever the Mac
Debian, Ubuntu kmap_1.7.6_amd64.deb for 64-bit x86, kmap_1.7.6_arm64.deb for 64-bit ARM
Other Linux kmap_1.7.6_linux_x86_64.tar.xz for 64-bit x86, kmap_1.7.6_linux_aarch64.tar.xz for 64-bit ARM

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.
