1.1.0
- Renamed in two Entity dropdowns: what the Land Installation and
Activities layers called "Law Enforcement Vessel" is Coast Guard,
which is what the standard prints for that code and what the
plugin has always drawn. If you picked that entry before, your
symbol is unchanged and was always correct - only the name in the
list was wrong. The genuine Law Enforcement Vessel, on the Sea
Surface layer, is untouched.
- Land Equipment's law-enforcement entities were missing eight of
their twelve: ATF, Department of Justice, FBI, Police, Secret
Service, TSA, Coast Guard and US Marshals Service have been
added alongside the Border Patrol, Customs and DEA entries that
were already there.
- Land Installation gained the two it was missing, ATF and Police,
completing that layer's law-enforcement list as well.
- Corrected two names that read "Agency" where the standard reads
"Administration" - Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and
Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Symbols unchanged.
- The test suite now runs against QGIS 4.2.1 alongside 3.44.12.
- Added MIL-STD-2525E and APP-6E tactical graphics support, alongside
the existing MIL-STD-2525D/APP-6D symbology, via a new "Symbology
Edition" toolbar menu. This picks which standard NEWLY added
symbology layers are built against; a layer already in a project
is never changed by switching it, and a layer created before this
existed keeps working exactly as before (it is read as 2525D,
which is what it always was). Adding the same layer type under
both editions now works side by side in one project - they get
distinct names, e.g. "Air (2525D/6D)" and "Air (2525E/6E)".
- Land Unit's own Sector 1/Sector 2 modifier dropdowns are now
available on the Land Unit layer (133 codes), matching the
existing modifier dropdowns already on Land Civilian, Equipment
and Installation.
- Fixed a real, if narrow, correctness bug in a third-party library
this plugin bundles: 8 of Land Unit's own Sector 1 modifiers
(Airmobile/Air Assault, Node Center, Sensor Control Module, Single
Shelter Switch, Accident, Other, Civilian, Antisubmarine Warfare)
were drawing the wrong icon under MIL-STD-2525D. Picking one of
these from the dropdown now draws the icon its own name describes.
- Fixed the Boundary line's echelon marker (C2 Measures): choosing
an echelon without also typing a unit designation used to leave
it undrawn entirely, and choosing it alongside only one
designation could draw it on the wrong side of the line. It now
always appears where the standard's own template puts it.
- Two label corrections: the Activities layer's "Law Enforcement"
entity now reads "Law Enforcement Operation", matching the
standard's own wording; several MIL-STD-2525E "(Generic)" entries
that rendered as an unhelpful blank circle with nothing to
distinguish them have been removed from the Entity dropdowns they
appeared in.
- Under MIL-STD-2525E, every Sector 1/Sector 2 Modifier dropdown
that already existed now also offers that standard's 93 "common"
modifiers (things like Robotic, Cargo or Command Post Node, which
apply across many symbol types rather than one) alongside the
symbol's own list. A symbol set with no MIL-STD-2525E modifiers of
its own still has no dropdown, same as before.
- Added an "Insert Symbol" button to every print layout window's own
toolbar: pick an Affiliation, Symbol Set and Entity and it places
that symbol directly on the layout page as a normal, draggable
picture item - for a legend key or callout, without needing a
georeferenced feature on the map.
1.0.3
- Correctness fix: the drawn UTM/GZD grid now honours the two
exceptions the standard itself makes. Over south-west Norway
(band V) zone 31V is 3 degrees wide and 32V is 9, not 6 each;
over Svalbard (band X) zones 32X, 34X and 36X do not exist at
all, with 31X, 33X, 35X and 37X widened to cover that ground.
MGRS coordinate conversion already applied both, so the grid
layer and the plugin's own MGRS readings had disagreed with
each other in those two regions.
- Three fixes to the GZD labels: they no longer pile up on top of
one another at world scale and bury the grid lines; they no
longer disappear when you pan inside a zone larger than the
map view; and they no longer overhang into the neighbouring
zone when only a narrow strip of a zone is on screen. Where a
label switches placement is now decided from each cell's own
size rather than one global scale for the whole world.
- The user guide's "Getting a DEM" section now covers GMRT for
bathymetry, including what to expect from below-sea-level
elevations once loaded.
1.0.2
- The Bandit suppression added in 1.0.1 for the mine-scatter random
number generator was one line too high to take effect, so that
false positive came back on upload. Moved onto the flagged line
itself, and the whole set verified by running Bandit locally
rather than by another upload round-trip.
1.0.1
- Fixed the findings from 1.0.0's automated Plugin Repository
review: the milsymbol.js bridge now imports QJSEngine through
qgis.PyQt rather than PyQt5/PyQt6 directly, so it resolves to
whichever Qt binding the running QGIS was built against. The
remaining scanner findings were false positives (a deterministic,
seeded random generator used for mine-symbol scatter, and four
MIL-STD-2525D entity names containing the word "Secret" - the US
Secret Service - read as credentials by keyword heuristics); each
is now annotated in place rather than silently left to re-flag.
1.0.0
- First stable release. The plugin is no longer marked experimental.
- Complete MIL-STD-2525D / APP-6 tactical graphics (Phase 10): the
full control-measure set - manoeuvre, offensive, defensive,
obstacle, fire support, target acquisition, airspace, maritime,
CBRN defence, deception, intelligence, sustainment, command and
control, field fortification, and mission tasks - plus entity
symbols across the land, air, sea surface, subsurface, space,
cyberspace, SIGINT and activities layers, all keyed to their own
SIDC. Drawn as real QGIS symbology (geometry generators, data-
defined properties, rule-based labelling), not stamped images, so
every symbol scales, rotates and prints correctly at any map
scale.
- Viewshed gained a coverage colour picker and an outline-only
rendering option, so several observers' coverage can be told
apart and laid over terrain without hiding it.
- Tanaka Contours now carries a caution about generation time,
which can be long on a large DEM at a fine contour interval.
0.3.0
- New navigation and production tools (Phase 9): a Bearing/Range tool,
GPX/KML waypoint import/export, and Map Sheet Series - batch-generate
a numbered series of print sheets tiling a large area, each sheet
named after the real UTM/MGRS grid square it falls in, not an
invented numbering scheme.
- Every print layout now includes an automatic grid-position diagram
showing where the map sits in the UTM/MGRS grid hierarchy, with the
map's own footprint outlined to scale.
- Line of Sight and Viewshed dialogs now show MGRS alongside latitude/
longitude.
- Hypsometric Tint gained an optional stepped/discrete colour ramp
(in addition to the existing smooth gradient), and the shared
colour ramp it uses with Tanaka Contours was warmed from a dusty
rose toward a proper orange/brown hue in the mid-to-high elevation
bands.
0.2.1
- Fixed Plugin Repository validator findings from the 0.2.0 upload:
3 Qt6 forward-compatibility enum-scoping errors in the new
Line of Sight/Viewshed marker code, and a security finding
(insecure tempfile.mktemp() usage, 9 call sites across the new
terrain analysis modules) - all Processing algorithm outputs now
use QgsProcessing.TEMPORARY_OUTPUT instead.
0.2.0
- New terrain analysis toolset (Phase 8), all fully offline/local:
Tanaka (illuminated) contours, Hypsometric Tint, Line of Sight,
Combined Hillshade, and Viewshed (dead-ground analysis) - each
driven entirely by local GDAL/QGIS Processing against your own
DEM, with no network access of any kind.
0.1.2
- Fixed MGRS 100km grid labels landing in the wrong square at some
zoom levels, and the print-layout scale bar rendering too large
at close-in scales (e.g. 1:1,000-1:2,000).
0.1.1
- Fixed Plugin Repository validator findings: fully-scoped QGIS enum
access (Qt6 forward-compatibility) and one Flake8 lambda-assignment
finding.
0.1.0
- Initial release: MGRS conversion, coordinate probe, military grid
generation (UTM/GZD, MGRS 100km, 10/5/1km sub-grids), automated
print-layout production, grid convergence and magnetic declination
(WMM2025) expression functions.
