0.5.1 - Hub listing text rewritten; author Geophilo; university
affiliation removed; documentation links use the standard geophilo.com
pages (manual.html, guide/); manual HTML no longer ships in the plugin
package.
0.5.0 - Reliable portraits, true halftone, preset paper:
Fixed: Halftone dots all had one size (the size expression named a
field that does not exist); invert and gamma were applied twice to the
halftone.
Fixed: Saved projects reopened with blank portrait layers, exported
QML only worked in the session that wrote it, and Restore failed after
reopening.
Fixed: Preset background colours were never applied, so dark presets
drew and exported on white; export kept the canvas ratio only up to
2:1.
Changed: Self-contained categorized renderer on feature ids, no Python
callback per feature: native render speed, saved projects work without
the plugin.
Changed: Halftone dot area follows darkness, cells stay square on any
frame, dots use the preset ink; new square or hex pattern.
Added: Preset paper colour on the map and in exports (reversible),
preset colour swatch, reconnection of saved portrait layers.
Changed: New icon, the portrait relief on a transparent background
without margin.
0.4.2 - Upgraded official plugin icon to high-end tactile 3D brand
identity with circular teal pedestal; synchronized documentation,
repository and issue tracker endpoints to GeoPhilo and GitLab.
0.4.0 - Reliable Studio Workflow & Safe Palettes:
Fixed: Restore original styles now restores every portrait-styled
source layer as its label promises.
Fixed: Artwork export temporarily hides the frame without changing the
user's frame visibility preference.
Added: Step navigation readiness, halftone-only export support, clean
OSM result selection, and completed-export feedback.
Added: Strict palette JSON validation, size and count limits,
normalized-name collision checks, and atomic file saves.
Improved: Live refresh only runs for an active portrait; invalid
stipple geometry and rendering values are rejected early.
Added: GUI smoke coverage on QGIS 3.44 LTR and QGIS 4.x.
0.3.2 - Enhanced OSM Acquisition & High-Visibility UI:
Added: High-visibility '🗺️ Add OSM Basemap' and '⬇️ Download This View
(OSM)' action buttons with custom theme styling and tooltips.
Added: Live canvas extent safety badge pill with real-time metric
indicators and readiness feedback.
Added: Polished export panel with format clarification and prominent
artwork export action.
0.3.1 - Visual Workflow Stepper & Circular Step Nodes:
Added: Interactive 3-stage visual workflow stepper with numbered
circular badge nodes (❶ Set up ➔ ❷ Shape ➔ ❸ Export) and live action
guide banner.
Added: Numbered circular step badges across all group box sections for
clear sequential progress tracking.
Added: Direct 'Proceed to Next Step' navigation buttons in Set up and
Shape tabs.
0.3.0 - Major feature update:
Added: Algorithmic Halftone & Vector Stippling Engraving Generator
with variable-radius luminance modulation and memory layer creation.
Added: 5 new master colorways (Cyberpunk 2077, Vintage Engraving,
Thermal Heatmap, Emerald Eco-Map, Nordic Slate).
Added: JSON Palette Preset Import and Export system for custom
colorway sharing.
0.2.3 - Palette-aware adaptive theme.
Changed: replace the hardcoded stylesheet with palette-derived colour
tokens so the dock stays readable under QGIS light, dark and
high-contrast themes. The hero card keeps its intentional dark
branding; all other surfaces follow the active Qt palette. The dock
now listens for PaletteChange and re-applies the theme automatically.
0.2.2 - Studio rebuild with integrated data-source and export panels;
frame map-tool for drawing the geographic mask; project-state
restoration.
0.2.1 - Fix portrait aspect-ratio lock: enforce the precise image
ratio instead of the approximate bounding-box fit.
0.2.0 - Built-in OSM acquisition, safer line weights, optional frame
overlay, light icon, and PNG/PDF/SVG export.
0.1.0 - Initial release with live luminance sampling, smart masks,
five artistic presets, reversible renderers, and viewport-aware
updates.
