# Changelog

All notable changes to QuickMapCompare, from v0.7.0 through the first
stable release, v1.0.0.

## 1.0.0

First stable release — no functional changes since 0.8.2.

*   Updated metadata, no longer experimental version

## 0.8.2

*   **"Add Viewport" no longer forces the source picker when reopening
an already-populated panel.** Closing the QuickMapCompare dock via its
own titlebar close button just hides it — the panel and its viewports
live on unchanged. Clicking "Add Viewport" now simply reopens the
panel as it was in that case, instead of also prompting for (and
adding) a new viewport. The source picker still opens as before the
first time (no panel/viewports yet) or whenever the panel is already
open.

## 0.8.1

*   **Fixed the native "Google Maps" WMS/XYZ tile not rendering.** Its
tile URL contains literal `&` characters, which were corrupting the
outer XYZ connection string QGIS builds internally — truncating the
URL and losing the `{x}`/`{y}`/`{z}` tokens. The `&` is now
percent-encoded before use.
*   **Fixed Swipe Compare getting stuck "on" indefinitely.** If S was
pressed and released again quickly while the armed layer/basemap was
still loading, the wait for that render to finish could outlast the
key press — the release was processed (and silently dropped) before
swipe had actually started, leaving it armed with no way to turn off
except pressing S again. The physical key state is now tracked
independently and checked before arming.
*   **Added a small "Loading…" indicator** over a tile while its
content is being fetched — driven by QGIS's own render signals for
layer/WMS-XYZ tiles, and by the page-load signals for Web Map Provider
tiles.

## 0.8.0

*   **Removed** the Windy, RainViewer, Waymarked Trails (Hiking),
OpenSeaMap, and OpenTopoMap web map providers — none could be verified
working reliably.
*   **Renamed** the "Map provider" source kind to "Web Map Providers"
and "Basemap tile layer" to "WMS/XYZ tiles" throughout the UI.
*   **Added a native "Google Maps" WMS/XYZ tile**
(Roadmap/Satellite/Terrain/Hybrid, switchable via the settings-gear
icon) — no API key, no webview chrome, independent of the existing
webview "Google Maps" provider.
*   **Added** "CartoDB" (Light/Dark/Voyager), "Esri Ocean", "Esri
NatGeo", "Esri Light Gray", and "Bing Maps (Aerial)" as new WMS/XYZ
tile basemaps.
*   WMS/XYZ tiles with more than one style (Google Maps, CartoDB) now
show a settings-gear icon to switch between them, same as multi-style
web map providers already did.

## 0.7.1

*   **Removed** the "Google Maps (JS)" provider and the "Stamen
Terrain" basemap tile layer (and their associated API key
settings/menu actions), since neither could be tested locally. Plain
"Google Maps" (no API key needed) and the other basemap/provider
options are unaffected.

## 0.7.0

*   **Added a vertical Swipe Compare mode.** Clicking a viewport's
"Add to Swipe Compare" icon now cycles off → horizontal (left/right,
the original behavior) → vertical (top/bottom, a new draggable
horizontal divider) → off, instead of a plain on/off toggle.
*   **Fixed Swipe Compare showing the previously-armed viewport** the
first time S is pressed after switching to a different one —
`QgsMapCanvas` renders asynchronously, so grabbing a snapshot
immediately after `refresh()` could catch it before the new layer had
finished rendering. Now waits for rendering to complete before
grabbing.
