A major version of uMap has been released last week. This release is inauguring a new era in versioning uMap: in the future, we’ll take care of better documenting breaking changes, so expect more major releases from now on. More details on how we version. A comprehensive changelog for that version is available in our technical documentation. Most of the changes for a major version are indeed technical, we are taking care of people deploying and maintaining instances with that approach. User...| uMap-project
I’ve spent the last few weeks working on uMap, still with the goal of bringing real-time collaboration to the maps. I’m not there yet, but I’ve made some progress that I will relate here. JavaScript modules uMap has been there since 2012, at a time when ES6wasn’t out there yet At the time, it wasn’t possible to use JavaScript modules, nor modern JavaScript syntax. The project stayed with these requirements for a long time, in order to support people with old browsers. But as time...| uMap-project
I continued working on uMap, an open-source map-making tool to create and share customizable maps, based on Open Street Map data. Here is a summary of what I did: I reviewed, rebased and made some minor changes to a pull request which makes it possible to merge geojson features together ; I’ve explored around the idea of using SQLite inside the browser, for two reasons : it could make it possible to use the Spatialite extension, and it might help us to implement a CRDT with cr-sqlite ; ...| uMap-project
Last week, I’ve been lucky to start working on uMap, an open-source map-making tool to create and share customizable maps, based on Open Street Map data. My goal is to add real-time collaboration to uMap, but we first want to be sure to understand the issue correctly. There are multiple ways to solve this, so one part of the journey is to understand the problem properly (then, we’ll be able to chose the right path forward). Part of the work is documenting it, so expect to see some blog ...| uMap-project
We’ve just released the version 1.9.2 of uMap, that includes a new experimental type of layer: choropleth! To test it, just select this new type in the dropdown Then you’ll find new advanced properties to configure it: Among those properties, the only mandatory is the “property value”, that will tell uMap which layer property to use for computing the choropleth classes. Optionally, you can define the color palette to use (they come from the color brewer ones) the number of classes you...| uMap-project
In the previous episode… We finally managed to tackle a very popular feature request: datalayers’ fine-grained permissions 🎉. This is a huge step forward, allowing for a given map owner to only open a particular datalayer to edition. It will help people with contributive maps who need to setup a stable/fixed base layer. It also paved the way for even more control over the objects that are allowed for addition and/or edition. Please share with us your desired workflows. On the UX side o...| uMap-project
Since a few month, uMap has been integrated in a French state incubator, so things are moving quite a lot!| umap-project.org
