Fixes:

  - Bug fixes in OGC APIs

6.0.1 2025-10-29
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maintenance:

  - Removed code to be able to start up MapProxy without PIL.

Fixes:

  - Add python-dateutil dependency to avoid errors on startup.
  - Add ogcapi to config-schema.json to avoid warnings on startup.


6.0.0 2025-10-22
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Breaking:

  - The extension for mbtiles used in MapProxy was wrong. It used `.mbtile` instead of `.mbtiles`. Existing files in
    caches have to be renamed! Here is a small script to change all files in a directory recursively:
    `find . -type f -name "*.mbtile" -exec sh -c 'mv "$1" "${1%.mbtile}.mbtiles"' _ {} \;`
  - lxml was updated. The new version is much stricter in its inputs and administrators might have to adjust
    featureinfo services to output valid HTML.

Improvements:

  - New source types `ogcapitiles` and `ogcapimaps` are now available! See docs for further information.
  - New util `gridconf-from-ogcapitilematrixset` to fetch grids from an OGC API compliant web service was added.
    See docs for further information.
  - MapProxy now offers an OGCAPI compliant service for OGC API Maps and OGC API Tiles. Including landing page and
    preview maps! See docs for further information.
  - The `SERVICE` parameter for WMS `GetMap` requests is no longer mandatory as according to spec.
  - Added test pipeline for the documentation.
  - The GitHub actions now have better fitting permissions, improving the security.
  - WMTS capabilities now include `OperationsMetadata` for restful mode.
  - TMS capabilities now include metadata similar to WMS and WMTS.

Maintenance:

  - Some fixes in the documentation.
  - As shapely is no longer optional, code to check for its existence has been removed.

Fixes:

  - An error regarding unicode strings in the featureinfo parsing was fixed.
  - An error in the debug logging of configurations was fixed

5.0.0 2025-06-18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Breaking:

  - An lxml encoding error is fixed


4.1.2 2025-05-27
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maintenance:

    - Set Pillow versions in setup.py to actually supported versions
    - Using PIL instead of Pillow was not working since Python 2, so it is removed from setup.py
    - Using a higher pyproj version for Python 3.13 is necessary
    - Added a test for an older Pillow version with Python 3.9

4.1.0 2025-04-29
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Improvements:

  - It is now possible to integrate the grid name into paths for AWS buckets. This allows storage of tiles for multiple
    grids in the same bucket.

Fixes:

  - Fixed deprecation warnings for utctime, sqlite, ImageMath.eval, mock_s3.
  - Fix entrypoint.sh to create default MapProxy configurations if none are found.
  - Allowed the trivy security scan workflow to write the results to the GitHub security tab.

4.0.0 2025-03-21
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Breaking:

    continue to use version 3.1.3 with Python 3.8.

Improvements:

  - The tile removal and refresh code is improved by simplifying the usage of `remove_timestamp` and `before_timestamp`
    and complementing them by new `remove_all` and `refresh_all` parameters.
  - Add a default logging config to the docker images.
  - Add environment variables to the docker images to enable and configure multiapp support.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Breaking:

  - Add proper XML Exception when service parameter disabled / invalid or missing
    In the past MapProxy returned WMS Capabilities when no explicit service parameter was given in
    GetCapabilities requests. With this change, an OGC exception will be returned instead.
    Invalid service types now also return a proper exception instead of an `internal error`.
    Besides, the status code of exception responses now have a 400 or 500 code instead of 200
    for better conformity.
