GeoLibre v2.4.0

[giswqs]

GeoLibre v2.4.0 is here!

GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. It runs everywhere you do, in the web browser, on the desktop, on mobile, and inside Jupyter notebooks, all while keeping your data local and private.

This release is about reaching more data and moving through it: new browsers for STAC, NASA Earthdata, and Hugging Face, a flight simulator, a Time Slider that animates tiled data and data cubes, and a live API for pages that embed the map.

What's new in v2.4.0

• STAC catalogs browser: discover public catalogs from STAC Index, connect to static catalogs and STAC APIs, search a collection's items, and add any visualizable asset to the map. No more copying COG URLs by hand.
• Earthdata GIS browser: search NASA's Earthdata GIS portal and add its imagery, map, and feature services, and its published web maps, as first-class layers.
• Hugging Face on the map: search the Hub, walk a dataset repo's folders, and add its vector and raster files. You can create a dataset repo and upload layers to it too.
• Flight Simulator: steer a continuous free-flight camera over terrain and 3D layers from the keyboard, instead of declaring a destination and watching a scripted flight.
• Time Slider for tiled data and data cubes: bind vector tiles, PMTiles, and MBTiles to the timeline and animate them over their full extent, and let a Zarr store's own time dimension join the shared timeline.
• Zarr gets a real Add Data path: open a remote store or a folder on disk, and pick variables and dimensions by their actual coordinate values rather than raw indices.
• Live embed API: a versioned postMessage protocol so a host page can load a project, move the camera, highlight features, and open a tool at runtime, with events coming back out.
• OGC API - Features: add collections as vector layers from whatever URL you have in hand, whether that is a landing page, /collections, or a full items URL.
• H3 everywhere: a new hexagonal grid plugin that renders and inspects H3 cells and exports them as GeoJSON or CSV, plus typing an H3 index into the search box to fly straight to that cell.
• Jupyter from outside the app: attach VS Code's Jupyter extension or jupyter console to the desktop app's server and your notebook cells drive the map.
