## Deprecations
This release is still based on the same software stack as 2021's v0.9.5, and so it stills supports old Windows, macOS and Android devices. The next releases must move to a modernized software stack and will drop support for old platforms which already lost vendor support.
## Sadly missing
This release doesn't include new (current) IOF symbol sets.
## Package options
Continuous integration build [3333](https://dev.azure.com/OpenOrienteering/Mapper/_build/results?buildId=3333), based on Superbuild [20250510](https://github.com/OpenOrienteering/superbuild/releases/tag/v20250510).
* Windows (7 and up): You can choose between an installer (`*.exe`) and a portable archive (`*.zip`).
For most modern Windows installations, you should choose the **x64** packages.
* macOS (10.12 and up): You may need to run the app via Ctrl+Click the first time, in order to allow it to run despite coming from an "unknown source".
* Android (4.1 and up): For new installations on modern devices, you should choose the **arm64-v8a** package.
The armeabi-v7a package should work for most older devices.
Note that you will have to allow installation "from unknown sources".
Android packages are also available from the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository.
Linux packages for major distribution continue to be provided [via OBS](https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Adg0yt&package=openorienteering-mapper). To automatically install dependencies (and new versions!), choose "add repository and install manually", instead of "grab binary packages directly". |
| 0.9.5 | March 11, 2021 | — | 64-bit EXE (NSIS)32-bit EXE (NSIS) Release notesEnhancements
- Mapper finally learned to export KMZ files (GH-138).
These files can also be used as templates.
- For organisers of MapRun or Vikazimut events, the KMZ export is complemented by a "Simple Course" export feature, turning a single line object (course) into a KML or IOF Data Standard 3.0 course file.
- Geospatial vector data export formats can be selected explicitly, instead of relying on the filename extension (GH-1779).
- For the Paint-on-Template feature (aka Scribbling), it is now possible to select and modify alternative colour palettes (GH-945).
- In touch mode, the editor can ignore touch input from palm and fingers when there is an alternative pointing device (inductive stylus, mouse) (GH-1368).
- Template data saving (GPX, paint-on-template) is more robust now (GH-1785), and error reporting is improved (GH-1790).
- The OMAP file format preserves the order of object tags, facilitating git version control (GH-1290).
- Minor OCD support improvements (GH-1786).
- Translations were updated again.
- The User Manual was restructured in order to improve the usability of the online version.
- qtbase, Qt's key component for cross-platform support, was updated to 5.12.10 plus selected extra patches.
Fixed bugs
- Coordinate system issues with GeoTIFF (GH-1755).
- Missing "datumgrid" files for precise georeferencing (GH-1802).
- Minor OCD format improvements, including a fix for a crash (GH-1796).
- Template saving now working for all file formats (GH-1791).
- Consistent GPX track positioning (regression, GH-1709).
- Area symbol patterns rotated properly when rotating the map (GH-1812), but not for North lines pattern (GH-1870).
- Crash on early activation of GNSS location display (GH-1893).
- ISSprOM 2019 Passable rock face symbol line width (GH-1875).
- Symbol editing and Copy-and-paste quirks (GH-1837, GH-1828).
- Editing values in template position dock widget (GH-1769).
- Warnings without details at ocd import (GH-1766).
- Windows (7 and up): You can choose between an installer (.exe) and a portable archive (.zip).
- macOS (10.12 and up): You may need to run the app via Ctrl+Click the first time, in order to allow it to run despite coming from an "unknown source".
- Android (4.1 and up): You can try arm64-v8a package on newer devices. Otherwise, the armeabi-v7a package should work for most older devices. |
