description=Search, load and download Kentucky From Above imagery, elevation and LiDAR via STAC.
about=Search the Kentucky From Above STAC API (and, experimentally, other public STAC APIs) for imagery, DEM and LiDAR tiles within an area of interest. Add tiles to the map by streaming COG/COPC files, download them, combine them into GDAL VRT mosaics, MosaicJSON, titiler server mosaics or Virtual Point Clouds, clip them to your area of interest, or export a notebook/Python/shell script that downloads them. Requires PDAL (included with QGIS from OSGeo4W) on PATH for LiDAR clipping and virtual point cloud options; everything else uses QGIS's bundled Python, GDAL and network stack.

changelog=0.1.14 - Clears the registry's security scan findings (SHA1 used only for cache file names, XML escaping, a silent except); no change in behaviour.
  0.1.13 - Point filter on the LiDAR tab: keep chosen classifications and the first, last or all returns when adding to the map, downloading, or building a virtual point cloud.
  0.1.12 - Right-click a raster result for band combinations, indices (NDVI, custom formulas) and single or several bands; sources can use QGIS authentication configurations; hover card JSON/HTML views; Zoom to collection; fixes for tiles drawn in the wrong place (compound coordinate systems, 3D bboxes), Planetary Computer raster 403s, FedEO and rate-limited APIs.
  0.1.11 - Smaller, calmer check boxes in dark and light themes.
  0.1.10 - Check boxes now stay visible in QGIS's own dark themes (they override the theme's low-contrast unticked style).
  0.1.9 - Check boxes are drawn from the theme so they stay visible in dark mode.
  0.1.8 - Add as server mosaic is grayed out for another API's tiles until you set your own titiler (the shared plain-titiler fallback that added one layer per tile is gone).
  0.1.7 - Hovering the map highlights tiles in the results list and selecting footprints selects them; reliable result checkboxes; result JSON card links to download, copy the URL of or add each asset to the map, and can be pinned, moved and resized.
  0.1.6 - Another STAC API's collections are listed on both the Raster and Point Cloud tabs, so you pick the tab.
  0.1.5 - Other STAC APIs get Raster and Point Cloud tabs (with all the LiDAR options); clicking a result tile now toggles just that tile, so several can be selected without Ctrl.
  0.1.4 - Declare qgisMaximumVersion 4.99 so the registry offers the plugin to QGIS 4 (it was capped at 3.99).
  0.1.3 - Supports QGIS 4 (Qt6). Other STAC APIs now get a single Collections tab instead of the Imagery / DEM and LiDAR tabs.
  0.1.2 - Style fix flagged by the registry's code check (no behavior change).
  0.1.1 - Security hardening: resolve the PDAL executable explicitly, refuse non-http(s) STAC URLs, log (instead of silently ignoring) GDAL setup failures.
  0.1.0 - First release: STAC search with date/cloud/sort filters, streaming and downloads, VRT / MosaicJSON / server mosaics, Virtual Point Clouds (with build options), AOI clipping, Azure (Planetary Computer) and s3 support, and Export as script.
