Four weeks after v0.8.0, we now present a patch release. Apart from bug fixes and updated translations, it even adds a few new features:

  • When exporting images, Mapper may now create a “world file”.
  • The paint-on-template tool gained the ability to add new blank image templates for scribbling.

A selection of other changes:

  • Corrections for some issues with opening or importing maps and data.
    • Fix for some maps not being loaded at all.
    • Fix for incorrect import of text object boxes from another map.
    • Fixes for some issues with importing OCD files.
    • Fix for crash when loading some files via GDAL/OGR.
  • Helper symbols (e.g. for field work) no longer affect the automatic symbol icon scaling.
  • Fixed a number of quirks of the paint-on-template tool.
  • macOS: Fixed missing menu items in some translations (at least Czech).
  • Android: Made the special touch cursor working again.
  • Android: Fixed loss of previous GPX track when tracking was started again on the same day).
