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 (In detail window of one line/marker, show it's type #243)
• Introduce dashed and dotted stroke styles for lines (Allow setting stroke-dasharray on 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 (Improve GPX compatibility with Osmand #246)
• Replace "Export as" options with "Export", which opens a dialog where the export format can be specified. New export options:
  • 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) (Improve GPX compatibility with Osmand #246)
• Support searching for GPS coordinates in degrees notation
• Add POI categories "Abandoned", "Nudism", "Florist"
• Retrieve marker and search result elevations again (now using Open Elevation instead of MapZen, Mapzen alternative? #250). Elevation is retrieved asynchronously.
• 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 (Fix padding in legend text #158)
• Fix error when changing "cluster markers" option (Changing "Cluster markers" option breaks things until reload #164)
• Prevent UI from breaking when very long words are used
• Round marker coordinates to 5 decimals everywhere
• Do not show focus ring on lines

Changes for self-hosted instances

• Add HIDE_COMMERCIAL_MAP_LINKS configuration option to hide Google/Bing maps links (Remove links to Google and Bing maps #186)
• Add CUSTOM_CSS_FILE configuration option to allow specifying custom CSS (Styling #185 Remove links to Google and Bing maps #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

• Migrate from Vue 2 class components to Vue 3 single-file components
• Migrate from BootstrapVue (using Bootstrap 4) to using Bootstrap 5 directly
• Migrate from Webpack to Vite
• Migrate to native ESM
• Migrate to zod for validating requests
• Make null/undefined properties in API responses consistent
• Use streaming for table/GeoJSON/GPX export
• Allow specifying a custom app name (instead of FacilMap) through the APP_NAME config setting
• Add integration tests to test client against MySQL/Postgres backend
• Introduce socket versions to allow breaking API changes. v2 uses the new empty default marker/line/map name. Changes are documented in the docs.
• Use TypeScript project references to improve developer experience by resolving cross-module imports
• Add heathcheck to Docker image
• Split up icons into core icons (used in the UI) and extra icons (used in markers). Extra icons are loaded asynchronously.
• Load import libraries (to parse GPX/KML/OSM files) asynchronously
• Clear route points table on server startup
• Reset line point cache on zoom level changes to improve frontend performance
• Add oEmbed configuration
• Allow disabling the creation of default types when creating a map (through createDefaultTypes property)
