Full Changelog: v2.5.0...v2.6.0

GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. It runs in the web browser, on the desktop, on mobile, and inside Jupyter notebooks, while keeping your data local and private.

v2.5.0 is about meeting you where your work already lives: open your QGIS and ArcGIS Pro projects directly, talk to your team on the map itself, explore hyperspectral imagery as a 3D cube, work in discrete global grids, and run sharing and live collaboration on your own server.

By the numbers

Released 8 days after v2.4.0. Thank you to everyone who filed an issue, reviewed a PR, or sent a fix.

Live collaboration and commenting

This release turns collaboration from a live-session-only experiment into something a team can actually run and keep.

Anchored comments on a project (#1518, #1607). Pin a comment to any map location or to a specific feature, reply in a thread, resolve and reopen it, and delete it when it is done. Comments render as pins on the map with a dockable Comments panel beside them, so you can filter, jump to, and work through feedback without leaving the map. They are saved with the project, so a review conversation survives closing the app, and they travel with the .geolibre.json file to whoever you send it to. The panel is opt-in from Settings (#1638), so a solo project stays uncluttered.

Comments sync live. In a collaboration session, adding, replying, resolving, and deleting all fan out to every participant in real time, and respect the host's per-participant edit permissions. Comment mutations are validated and rate-limited on the relay (#1629), and comments, dashboard widgets, and legend entries are scrubbed when the layer they point at is removed (#1627), so a session cannot be poisoned by stale or oversized state.

Self-hostable sharing and collaboration (#1685, #1686, #1687, #1690). Sharing and live sessions no longer require Cloudflare or our hosted service. This release adds a documented projects and identity API with a FastAPI reference implementation, plus a plain Node collaboration relay, both Docker-deployable. A published web container can be pointed at your own endpoints at runtime, with no rebuild, which makes GeoLibre viable for classrooms, workshops, and organizations that cannot send project data off-premises. See Collaboration and the server API reference.

Credentials never leave with the project (#1680, #1702, #1704). Project credentials and per-layer connection records are redacted on every egress path (share, export, publish), so shared and self-hosted projects cannot leak a token that was only ever meant to sit on your machine.

Other highlights

• QGIS and ArcGIS Pro project import (#1562, #1637). Open a .qgs, .qgz, .aprx, or .mapx and get the layers, nested groups, visibility, order, styling, and saved map view rebuilt in GeoLibre, with a per-layer report of anything that had to be skipped.
• Discrete global grids (#1650, #1710). Three new DGGS plugins (A5, DGGRID, DGGAL) render and identify cells over the current view, joined by DGGS Generator, Binning, and Compact processing tools.
• Hyperspectral data you can read (#1708, #1713, #1719, #1723). Local NetCDF and HDF grids are colormapped in the browser and fitted to the camera, an RGB band combination is picked by wavelength, and a 3D image cube view renders the scene as a volume with draggable slice cuts.
• Spectral profiles from a click. Identify a pixel to chart its spectrum against wavelength, compare up to six sampled points marked on the map in their chart colors, and export as PNG or CSV.
• Smart styling on add (#1519, #1530, #1536). Every new layer arrives with its own color and geometry-appropriate sizing, a Style suggestions strip offers one-click renderers derived from the layer's own attributes, and vector-tile layers can now be classified by their tile attributes.
• Quick analysis (#1523). Buffer, centroids, convex hull, bounding box, and isochrones straight from the map right-click and layer menus, with defaults filled in and every run saved to Processing History.
• Autosave, crash recovery, and project history (#1522), plus project duplication and templates (#1528), an Elements panel for managing every annotation from one list (#1524), and a Layer Library that saves a configured layer for re-adding to any later project (#1520).
• Geocode a CSV at import time (#1526). Pick the address columns and each row is geocoded through your provider, with unmatched rows kept as null-geometry features so you can see and fix them.
• KML/KMZ throughout. KML and KMZ export (#1566), Super-Overlay import (#1598), preserved custom icons and formatted descriptions, and TIFF-backed ground overlays.
• Nested layer groups (#1589), multi-layer selection and group moves (#1610), and field-level visibility that hides attributes and excludes them on share and export (#1676).
• Typed embed SDK (#1525): @geolibre/embed, a richer embed protocol, and a viewer embed preset.
• Mobile and platforms. GeoLibre Desktop is now on the Mac App Store, Android GPS streams at the GNSS rate with precise accuracy and satellite count (#1554), and an NMEA receiver can be used as a position source.
• Internationalization. Thai joins the shipped locales, bringing all 16 non-English catalogs to 100% coverage.
