4.1.0 - Barents Sea

What's Changed

🚀 Features

• 3D map canvas offers users an immersive perspective on terrain elevations, including include:
  • Supports the default worldwide terrain elevation data (Mapzen Global Terrain), as well as custom terrains (defined in QGIS within the project properties dialog)
  • GNSS position overlay
  • Ongoing tracking line overlay
• COGO (Coordinate Geometry) framework to enhance surveying with the following operations available out of the box:
  • XYZ parameters
  • Distance/angle from point
  • Circles' intersection
• QField can now automatically rotate the map to follow movement direction instead of the compass when locked to GNSS position
• A collapse all / expand all button is now attached to the legend found in the main sidebar panel

✨ Improvements

• The identified features list panel will shrink when only a few features are shown, saving more space to display the map canvas
• Moving beyond an always-shown remember value pins, their visibility in the feature addition form can now be configured per field for projects saved using QGIS >= 4.0.
• The auto-zoom to feature option is now remembered across QField sessions
• When offline, QField will queue the pushing of changes to QFieldCloud until connectivity is regained
• QField will inform users of QFieldCloud maintenance and ongoing incidents that could impact their workflow (to put things in perspective, our availability rate over the last 30 days is 99.97%, we just want to make sure users are informed for those 0.03% moments 😉)
• Position tracking improvements and optimizations to make it even more battery friendly
• More resilient Bluetooth connection across a variety of devices
• Support for HTTP proxy networking
• Users can now benefit from all the new features found in QGIS 4.0
