1.7.0 - Rockies

The 1.7.0 release comes with fancy new features and a polished user interface

Merging features

Splitting of a feature has been possible for quite some time. Now the merging of features of multipolygon-layer is possible as well. Select them and merge them - easy like that. The first selected feature gets the new geometry and keeps its attributes.

Filters in the Value Relation Widget

Using filters in the value relation drop down can increase the efficiency in selecting the correct value. It can be configured by expressions in QGIS, so it's possible to make the content of the drop down depending on the values entered previously in other fields.

Go to coordinates in the Search

The search has not only been improved in its appearance. It's handling is made much more comfortable. Like a button to clear the text or easy opening and closing.
But additionally there is the possibility to jump to coordinates.

QML and HTML Widget

QML and HTML widgets are now supported. This opens wide possibilities for showing information about the attributes interactive in the feature form. As well as charts and diagrams.

GUI polishing

Some interface components have been polished, like the layer property dialog and the handling of the feature list on selection.

1.6.0 - Qinling 秦岭

The 1.6.0 release consists of many improvements throughout the code base 🎉
It features some very notable new features as well as bugfixes and UI improvements.

Stylus support

We have undertaken a great effort to integrate stylus pen as input device. This allows now for editing gemetries through stylus pen interaction. Never has it been so easy to quickly sketch something.

Multi Edit capability

By adding multi editing functionality you are efficient as never before. It's now possible to select a tree alley, a number of pipes or apiaries and convert them all into the same species or type with just a few clicks.

Lock geometries

This new functionality protects against accidental change of geometries. A layer can be protected against geometry modifications, preventing users from adding or deleting features or editing geometries of existing features. This is especially useful for reviewing existing infrastructure. This will require to have QFieldSync for configuration.

Configure the name of images

Did you ever want to have the file names of your pictures to match the feature id? The file name for images offers now complete freedom through expression based configuration.

Fields with web links can be opened in a browser

If your external resource widget is configured to open links or if your text edit widget contains HTML links, they will now open up in your browser.

Webp support

There is now support for basemaps with geopackage with webp imagery. This allows for a very good compression rate and supports transparency at the same time.

UI updates

A major under-the-hood upgrade will make every parts of QField's interface look sharper and evenly spaced across all of your devices.

Legend

A revamped legend has made its way into QField, with better font and spacing, as well as better looking legend symbols.

Calendar

QField's calendar widget has been improved and now features a time picker too.

Topological editing

QField can now preserve preserve common boundaries when adding and editing geometries.

When in Edit mode, a Topological Editing button now appears under the main menu to enable this functionality.

Fast editing mode

In this mode, the features will automatically be stored on every change. The user interface is lighter (no save button on forms) and it combines perfectly with the topological editing.

GDAL and PROJ updates

QField 1.6 has entered made a major step forward in supporting modern capabilities when handling coordinate systems and projection by updating GDAL and PROJ to its latest versions. This also means QField now relies on the same environment as QGIS to load and display data, ensuring increased fidelity and ease of use.

Other library updates

Other important libraries were updated such as GEOS, libspatialindex, and libpng. These updates help make QField stabler and faster.

Qinling

The Qinling (Chinese: 秦岭) or Qin Mountains, formerly known as the Nanshan ("Southern Mountains") and sometimes called the "Szechuan Alps", are a major east-west mountain range in southern Shaanxi Province, China. The mountains provide a natural boundary between North and South China and support a huge variety of plant and wildlife, some of which is found nowhere else on earth.
