Version 0.3.1: - QGIS does not freeze when a background read ends while the window updates. A thumbnail, a catalog document, or a PMTiles tile read could stop QGIS at random before. Version 0.3.0: - **Add to map** has a **SQL** tab for GeoParquet. Filter the rows with a QGIS expression, select the columns, preview the first 100 rows, and copy the DuckDB query as a script. **Write my own SQL** replaces the choice with your own `SELECT`. Loads, downloads, and saved projects keep the choice, and a project asks before it runs SQL that its author wrote. - **Copy as GDAL command**, in the arrow menu next to **View on map**, **Load full data**, and **Add as one layer**, copies the `gdal_translate`, `ogr2ogr`, or mosaic commands that do the same outside QGIS. - **Zoom to Layer** on a PMTiles layer frames the data instead of the whole world. The layer properties show the extent of the archive. - The plugin shows its window, messages, and plugin manager description in Spanish and French when QGIS runs in either language. Numbers and file sizes use that language's separators. - The documentation site is available in Spanish at `/es/` and in French at `/fr/`, with a language menu in the header. - **Load full data** reads partitioned GeoParquet that a `partition:glob` or `glob` asset names. DuckDB reads an `s3://` or `gs://` glob directly. For a glob that only HTTPS serves, the plugin loads the GeoParquet file of each item in the area of interest. **Download** lists and saves the partition files. - A partitioned Source Cooperative product loads from the bucket prefix that the Source Cooperative API gives, such as `tge-labs/ftw-global-data/` for `ftw/global-data`. - When an `s3://` glob names a bucket that Amazon S3 does not have, the message says so and says that the catalog gives no other endpoint. - A clipped GeoParquet load counts and copies the features faster. A load of 17 files takes about 33 seconds instead of 584. - GeoParquet loads, COG mosaics, and downloads show the percentage done and the time left. - **Add as one layer** also adds a collection of GeoParquet items. Item rows show any data file. - A style that gives a `pmtiles://` tiles template loads, and the plugin matches a style to its archive by file name. - Relative links resolve against the final URL after a redirect. - **Load full data** finds the geometry of a GeoParquet file without geo metadata in a WKB column named `shape` or `geog`, the same names that the STAC table columns use. - A PMTiles style or sprite on an S3 website endpoint loads over HTTPS, as the catalog itself does. - **Cancel** stops the search for the files of a mosaic, the build of the mosaic, and the listing of the files to download. Before, it stopped only a download. The progress bar shows while the mosaic builds. - **Report a problem ↗** under **Details** opens the registry's dataset problem form on GitHub, filled with the catalog ID, the dataset URL, the date, and the plugin and QGIS versions. The button shows only for a catalog that has an ID in the registry. - **Report a bug** in **Web > Portolan Registry** and in the window header opens the plugin's problem form on GitHub, with the plugin, QGIS, Qt, Python, GDAL, and DuckDB versions and the operating system filled in. Version 0.2.0: - The plugin is no longer marked experimental, so the QGIS plugin manager lists it without the experimental option. - The registry opens in a window instead of a side panel. You can pan the map while it is open. It keeps its size, its divider, and the open state of its sections between sessions. - The details pane shows the dataset's name with **Zoom to** and **Open in Portolan browser ↗** next to it. The browser shows every file and all the metadata that the plugin leaves out. - The details show in four sections that you can close: **About**, **Add to map**, **All files**, and **Details**. **All files** starts closed. - **About** shows the thumbnail, or a map of the extent when there is no thumbnail. - **Details** is one list: publisher, license, size, documentation, source, and a link to the browser. Each link shows once. A license value of `other` shows as **Custom terms**. - The status filter and the STAC type, ID, and extent coordinates are gone from the window. - **Add to map** starts with the area of interest: everything, the map extent, a drawn polygon, or the polygons of a layer. - **View on map** adds the PMTiles, else a COG. **Load full data** adds the GeoParquet, else the FlatGeobuf, GeoJSON, or CSV. Each tooltip names the format first. - **Load full data** copies only the GeoParquet features that intersect the area of interest. A feature that crosses the edge of the area stays whole. A saved project copies the same area again. - A collection of COG items shows as one **N files** row in the tree. **Add as one layer** adds the COGs in the area of interest as one layer, clipped to the area. A saved project builds the layer again. - **Download** saves everything in the area of interest. It leaves out items outside the area, and it saves each GeoParquet file as a GeoPackage of the features in the area. - **All files** lists only the files QGIS can open, each one once. It leaves out styles, thumbnails, upstream `source` files, earlier `archive` extracts, and item indexes. **Add selected** and **Download selected** act on the selected files, whole. - A check mark shows on each file that a layer in the project already reads. - CSV files open over HTTP, as points when the header names longitude and latitude columns in degrees. - A Parquet file with no geometry column shows as **Parquet** and loads as a table with **Load table**. - When a new layer lands outside the map, the map moves to it. - Right-click a publisher to open its catalog in the browser. The QGIS setting `PortolanRegistry/browser_url` points the links at a browser mirror. - A click that must wait for a running task says so. An error after a task ends goes to the QGIS message log. - COGs open when the GDAL setting `CPL_VSIL_CURL_ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS` is set. A file that the setting blocks gets a message that names the setting. - A COG that failed to open once opens on the next try. COG reads retry HTTP 429, 500, 502, 503, and 504. When GDAL cannot read a file, the message gives the reason, such as an HTTP status. - COG, GeoJSON, and FlatGeobuf files open with no directory listing and no side-car probes. GDAL ignores external side-car files such as `.ovr` and `.aux.xml`. - GeoParquet loads through a GeoPackage that DuckDB writes. A million polygons from a local file load in 2 seconds instead of 19, QGIS stays responsive, and memory use drops from 1.9 GB to 380 MB. - A GeoParquet load has no feature limit. Above 1,000,000 features, the window asks first. - GeoParquet files with date or timestamp columns load their features, and an attribute named `geom` loads. A feature whose geometry type does not fit the layer keeps its attributes, and the window reports the count. - A saved project copies its GeoParquet layers again when it opens. On QGIS 3.34, such a layer shows as unavailable until the copy ends. - PMTiles layers carry each of the collection's MapLibre styles as a named QGIS style. Switch styles from the layer's **Styles** menu. A PMTiles layer opens the archive you selected. - Styles that name their archive as a relative path, such as `../tiles.pmtiles`, apply to the tiles. So do styles whose vector source has no `url`. - PMTiles layers draw faster when you pan, and QGIS keeps their tiles in its disk cache. A server that sends `Cache-Control: no-store` keeps its tiles out of the cache. - On QGIS 3.34 and 3.36, a PMTiles archive behind a redirect reads only the bytes it needs, and a server that ignores HTTP range requests is refused. - Downloads list eight catalog documents and fetch three files at the same time. A cancelled listing asks nothing. A file whose local path an earlier file already uses, such as `Data.tif` and `data.tif`, is reported as a failure.
