4.0.0

UI/feature updates

• Marker, line and map names are now empty by default. They are still displayed as "Untitled marker", "Untitled line" and "Unnamed map" as a fallback, but when editing the name and when hovering the marker/line, the name is now empty.
• Use "high accuracy" mode for current location
• Use Lima Labs as the new default map style. It is very similar to Mapnik, just a little bit nicer and provides high-resolution tiles so that the map doesn't look blurry on smartphones anymore
• When there is more than one marker/line type, show the type next to the marker/line name (#243)
• Introduce dashed and dotted stroke styles for lines (#239)
• Add QR code button to share dialog and other "Copy URL to clipboard" cases to quickly transfer the map URL to smartphones
• Make marker colour/shape and line colour/width compatible with OsmAnd in GPX export (#246)

  • CSV export
  • HTML table to clipboard (to be pasted into spreadsheet apps)
  • ZIP file containing one GPX file for all markers and one GPX file per line (to be imported into OsmAnd) (#246)
• Support searching for GPS coordinates in degrees notation
• Add POI categories "Abandoned", "Nudism", "Florist"

• Load long click result asynchronously. Coordinates are shown immediately, more info is shown when it arrives.
• Make types and views reorderable.

Bug fixes

• Disable long click when moving marker/line. Previously this broke the UI.
• Fix legend padding (#158)

• Add CUSTOM_CSS_FILE configuration option to allow specifying custom CSS (#185 #186)
• Add optional LIMA_LABS_TOKEN config option, specify to enable Lima Labs map style
• Removed MAPZEN_TOKEN config option. Open Elevation is now used, a self-hosted instance can optionally be specified through the OPEN_ELEVATION_* options.
• Add TRUST_PROXY and BASE_URL config options to make the app recognize its URL when run behind a reverse proxy.

Technical changes

3.4.0

UI updates

• Add a service worker so that (mobile) browsers now automatically offer installing FacilMap as an app.

Bug fixes

• Make local storage persistent. This makes sure that the browser doesn't clear bookmarks when the system is running low in disk space.
• Fix an error where mobile phones were showing the desktop view instead of the mobile view.

Technical changes
