LAYER-BASED EDITING Editing by map layer is extremely useful for capturing overlapping map features (for instance, "bedrock geology" and "surficial geology" layers). But it can be used to separate any features that you want to edit independently. - Separate layers of mapping that can be independently edited - Snapping improvements for individual map layers - Layer reordering Going forward, this feature will underpin a handling of more complex types of map data (e.g., notes, point-based sample data, etc.) atop the current topological map. NEW PROJECT-CREATION WORKFLOW - New control to set map area - Suggests the best projection (UTM zones or WGS84 lat lon) for your mapping area USER INTERFACE IMPROVEMENTS - New controls: Zoom to map area, Reload map - First steps towards reworking Projects page - New selection functions: Change layer PERFORMANCE AND INTERNAL FIXES - Fixes to topology engine to not delete straight lines - Fixed CPU leak from map event handlers - More modern internal map server - Slightly more efficient map queries - Improved server-linked mapping mode - Internal handling of point data sources - Fixes for several bugs with MBTiles layers

This version updates project file type to use with external projects, and fixes many user interface issues - Greatly improved the layout of UI controls, especially when considering device rotation - Return to packaged projects in order to hide SQLite temporary files and improve interoperability with projects stored outside of the application directory. - Initial steps towards QField compatibility (more on that later). - Improved SwiftUI code generally The full changelog is available at https://mapboard-gis.app/docs/ios/releases/3.3.3

This re­lease is a quick fix for sev­eral is­sues: - A ma­jor re­gres­sion that pre­vented the cre­ation of new pro­jects - Make 3D Ter­rain the de­fault set­ting to com­bat the lack of a func­tional “map idle” event when ter­rain is off. - Fix a bug that pre­vented cre­ation and edit­ing of data types - Sev­eral tiny bug fixes to map lay­out Release notes: https://mapboard-gis.app/docs/ios/releases/3.3.2

January 25, 2023

This release contains several internal enhancements prioritizing a smoother editing experience - Prevent database writes from freezing the user interface - Speed up some database queries - Fix several small but annoying UI issues - Enhance the display of in-progress edits - Better prioritization of edits over background topology solving See full release notes at https://mapboard-gis.app/docs/ios/releases/3.3.1

This re­lease builds atop the strong base es­tab­lished just a few weeks ago with the pub­lic re­lease of Ver­sion 3. In this release, we add sev­eral long-awaited fea­tures: - Mapping atop 3D terrain - User interface rotation - Map movement while in editing mode - Numerous fixes for UI, overlay management, and editing

This is the first pub­lic re­lease of Map­board GIS Ver­sion 3, a ma­jor update to the ap­p’s in­ter­nals and spa­tial edit­ing ca­pa­bil­i­ties that prepares for future enhancements. NEW EDITING TOOLS: "Reshape" and "Topological erase" tools, previously available only by tethering to a server, have been made available for iPad-based mapping. These features greatly simplify iterative and multiscale data capture. IMPROVED "UNDO": All mapping actions can be fully reverted, improving recovery from errors. IMPROVED LINE SNAPPING: Snapping is quicker; nearby line endpoints can snap to new features. QUICKER TOPOLOGY: The stability and performance of the onboard topology solver has been improved. OVERLAY OPACITY: The opacity of polygons, topology faces, and user-provided overlays can be adjusted. Many internal improvements: - Mapping user interface: Tran­si­tion from Map­box’s legacy iOS SDK to the newer Map­box Maps SDK for iOS - Up­graded spa­tial stack: The open-source libraries that power map editing have been upgraded - Major improvements to configuration management, internal data flows, and error handling Full release notes: https://mapboard-gis.app/docs/ios/releases/3.2.0
