GeoLibre v3.0.0 is here! GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. It runs everywhere you do, in the web browser, on the desktop, on mobile, and inside Jupyter notebooks, all while keeping your data local and private. This release landed 95 pull requests from 11 contributors, and 5 people made their first contribution to GeoLibre. Thank you to everyone who filed an issue, reviewed a change, or sent a patch. Our first major release makes the Cesium 3D globe a full rendering engine for the whole workspace, brings time-dynamic CZML scenes and native KML to the globe, and lets you save your edits straight back to ArcGIS Feature Services. What's new in v3.0.0 - Cesium as your main map: switch the entire workspace between MapLibre 2D and Cesium 3D from the View menu, and the choice is saved with your project. - Nearly every layer on the globe: COGs, PMTiles, MBTiles, vector tiles, ArcGIS services, I3S scene layers, LiDAR point clouds, and Gaussian splats all render in 3D, with extruded polygons and true elevation for 3D vectors. - Dynamic 3D scenes: load CZML for orbits, trajectories, and moving objects that play along the globe clock, open KML and KMZ with their original styling, and add Cesium Ion assets such as OSM Buildings by id. - Your tools work in 3D too: screenshots, print layouts, video and camera tours, the Elevation Profile, and the Sun, Atmosphere, Flight Simulator, and weather plugins. - ArcGIS write-back: edit a Feature Service layer in GeoLibre and save additions, changes, and deletions back to the service. - Editable SVG print layouts: export a layout and fine-tune the title, legend, and scale bar in Inkscape or Illustrator. - Smarter rasters and new data sources: viewport-based raster stretch, persistent layer filters from Select by Expression, a Portolan catalog browser, OGC CSW catalog search, and a USGS NLDI panel for tracing river networks.

GeoLibre v2.3.0 is here! GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. It runs everywhere you do, in the web browser, on the desktop, on mobile, and inside Jupyter notebooks, all while keeping your data local and private. This release brings a legend that writes itself from your symbology, a new GeoLens catalog browser, and 200+ GeoLibre Rust geoprocessing tools running entirely in the browser. What's new in v2.3.0 - Automatic on-map Legend: the legend builds itself from your visible layers, with class rows for graduated, categorized, rule-based, and expression styling, gradient bars for heatmaps and raster colormaps, and land-cover labels from a Raster Attribute Table. Rename, hide, reorder, or add your own entries, and it saves with the project. - Symbology swatches in the Layers panel: every row shows a dot, line, square, or image glyph in the layer's own color, so a tall layer stack reads at a glance. - GeoLens catalog browser: connect to a self-hosted GeoLens server, search its catalog, and add datasets as vector tiles, GeoJSON, or rendered raster tiles. - Emerging Hot Spot Analysis: build a space-time cube from timestamped points and classify every cell as a new, intensifying, persistent, diminishing, sporadic, oscillating, or historical hot or cold spot, all client side. - Mosaic time series: the Time Slider now steps through MosaicJSON and STAC collections of many COGs per date, on either a GPU or a WASM rendering engine. - Copy and paste layer styles: give a whole set of layers one consistent look without restyling each in turn. - Shareable tool links: deep-link any Whitebox tool with a ?tool= URL that opens the dialog preselected and pre-fills the form, with a Copy link button to build it for you. - Smarter data loading: pick which layers to load from a multi-layer GeoPackage, import CSVs whose coordinates are in any projected CRS, and read a raster's real CRS, pixel size, and extent from the metadata dialog. - Multiple AI profiles: define several provider, model, and credential setups, pick a default, and switch between them from the assistant panel.

GeoLibre v1.7.0 is here! GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. It runs everywhere you do, in the web browser, on the desktop, on mobile, and inside Jupyter notebooks, all while keeping your data local and private. This release opens up the UI to plugins, adds inline color ramp previews across the styling panels, and makes the Whitebox toolbox browsable right from the Processing menu.

GeoLibre v3.1.0 is here! GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. It runs everywhere you do, in the web browser, on the desktop, on mobile, and inside Jupyter notebooks, all while keeping your data local and private. This release brings Mapbox GL JS and the ArcGIS Maps SDK in as full rendering engines next to MapLibre and Cesium, turns the 3D globe into a live situation room with the new God's Eye View plugin, and adds OAuth sign-in for sharing your maps. What's new in v3.1.0 - Four rendering engines: switch the whole workspace between MapLibre, Mapbox, Cesium, and ArcGIS from the View menu. Your layers, styles, popups, and most plugins come along, and GeoLibre remembers your choice. - ArcGIS in 2D and 3D: native ArcGIS services, 3D scenes with terrain and extrusion, PMTiles, Zarr, and NetCDF, plus print atlases, all on the ArcGIS engine. - God's Eye View: watch live earthquakes, satellite orbits, active fires, transit, traffic cameras, live traffic flow, and ship positions on the Cesium globe. - Secure sharing: sign in with OAuth on the web and desktop, and share projects with view, comment, or edit roles, link expiry, passwords, and revocation. - A faster AI Assistant: talk to it with avoice commands, get simple map commands done in under a second, pick OpenRouter as a provider, and find Whitebox tools by describing what you want. - New data plugins: Fields of the World agricultural field boundaries, Satellite Embeddings from foundation models such as AlphaEarth, and IGN LiDAR HD point clouds for France. - More languages and links: Hebrew joins the right-to-left locales, and new ?stac= links open a STAC catalog straight from a URL. This release landed 220 pull requests from 15 contributors, and 8 people made their first contribution to GeoLibre. Thank you to everyone who filed an issue, reviewed a change, or sent a patch.

GeoLibre v2.4.0 is here! GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. It runs everywhere you do, in the web browser, on the desktop, on mobile, and inside Jupyter notebooks, all while keeping your data local and private. This release is about reaching more data and moving through it: new browsers for STAC, NASA Earthdata, and Hugging Face, a flight simulator, a Time Slider that animates tiled data and data cubes, and a live API for pages that embed the map. What's new in v2.4.0 - STAC catalogs browser: discover public catalogs from STAC Index, connect to static catalogs and STAC APIs, search a collection's items, and add any visualizable asset to the map. No more copying COG URLs by hand. - Earthdata GIS browser: search NASA's Earthdata GIS portal and add its imagery, map, and feature services, and its published web maps, as first-class layers. - Hugging Face on the map: search the Hub, walk a dataset repo's folders, and add its vector and raster files. You can create a dataset repo and upload layers to it too. - Flight Simulator: steer a continuous free-flight camera over terrain and 3D layers from the keyboard, instead of declaring a destination and watching a scripted flight. - Time Slider for tiled data and data cubes: bind vector tiles, PMTiles, and MBTiles to the timeline and animate them over their full extent, and let a Zarr store's own time dimension join the shared timeline. - Zarr gets a real Add Data path: open a remote store or a folder on disk, and pick variables and dimensions by their actual coordinate values rather than raw indices. - Live embed API: a versioned postMessage protocol so a host page can load a project, move the camera, highlight features, and open a tool at runtime, with events coming back out. - OGC API - Features: add collections as vector layers from whatever URL you have in hand, whether that is a landing page, /collections, or a full items URL. - H3 everywhere: a new hexagonal grid plugin that renders and inspects H3 cells and exports them as GeoJSON or CSV, plus typing an H3 index into the search box to fly straight to that cell. - Jupyter from outside the app: attach VS Code's Jupyter extension or jupyter console to the desktop app's server and your notebook cells drive the map.
