about=This plugin wraps the LOOM open-source transit map generation suite (github.com/ad-freiburg/loom, © University of Freiburg, GPL-3.0) with a cross-platform Qt GUI. It supports GeoJSON and GTFS inputs, geographic and schematic rendering (octilinear/orthoradial), and runs on Windows (x64), macOS (Apple Silicon) and Linux (x64) with QGIS 3 and QGIS 4. Pre-built, self-contained LOOM binaries are downloaded on first use. Windows port by Transport for Cairo (transportforcairo.com), 2026.
changelog=
    1.2.0
    - Transport modes for GTFS input are now checkboxes: pick any combination (e.g. bus + tram), or keep "All modes"
    - Clear message when the feed has no routes for the selected modes
    - Layer filter uses the QGIS 4 enum name (plugin repository Qt6 check)
    1.1.1
    - Output SVG and web map now open through Qt (no external commands), and the plugin only ever launches the LOOM tools themselves (plugin repository security scan)
    - Includes all 1.1.0 changes below (1.1.0 was not published on the plugin repository)
    1.1.0
    - QGIS 4 / Qt 6 compatibility (issue #2)
    - Self-contained macOS and Linux binaries: no Homebrew or apt libraries needed; fixes "Library not loaded: libzip" (issue #1)
    - GTFS feeds are unzipped by the plugin before calling gtfs2graph
    - Binaries are pinned to a tagged build and verified with SHA-256; outdated binaries are offered an update
    - Clear error for unsupported platforms (Intel Macs, ARM Linux) and for missing system libraries
    1.0.0
    - First release
