This means a real progress bar, no need for the GDAL tools to be on your PATH, no temporary .vrt files, and no problems with very large .points files.\r\n- Memory now scales to your machine: the GDAL cache and warp memory are sized from your system RAM (about half / a quarter, capped at 16 GB / 8 GB) instead of a fixed 1 GB.\r\n- Points-GeoTIFF output is now multi-threaded for tile writing and compression, matching the COG paths.\r\n- Removed the obsolete GDAL_WARP_USE_OPENCL option (it has done nothing since GDAL 3.5).\r\n- Internal cleanup: removed unused code and stopped holding on to finished tasks.\r\n\r\nFixed\r\n- WEBP quality slider was ignored for COG output (Points-COG and GeoTIFF-COG) \u2014 it always used the default quality. The slider now works.\r\n- PREDICTOR setting on the plain GeoTIFF path used a value the GTiff driver rejects; it is now correct for LZW/DEFLATE/ZSTD.\r\n- Custom (non-EPSG) coordinate reference systems now work.\r\n- Cancelling a job no longer writes a scary \"Critical\" error to the log.", "external_deps": null, "download_url": "https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/rasterblaster/version/2.5.1/download/"}
