4.2.34

April 2, 2026

Summary

This release introduces beta CesiumJS integration as an alternative 3D globe renderer, a new Plugin Components system for extensible UI behaviors, and a Playwright-based end-to-end testing framework. The DrawTool gains DynamicExtent for viewport-based feature loading and a new Point template type. AnimationTool receives multiple improvements and STAC URL fixes. TimeControl is promoted to core infrastructure under Basics. New API callbacks and events expand extensibility (newActiveFeature, layersToolHeaderStateChange, madeLegendTool, viewer_open). Mobile mode sees significant improvements including configurable initial zoom, layout fixes, and a responsive login page. Security hardening includes adjacent servers placed behind authentication, npm audit fixes, and multiple vulnerability patches. The codebase is cleaned up with D3 largely removed, legacy scripts and files pruned, and an improved Dockerfile. Two new open-source components are released: AnalysisTool and OperationsClock.

4.0.0

April 17, 2025

Summary

This major release adds support for TiTiler (a tiling server), STAC (a geo-spatial metadata standard), Veloserver (a wind server) and COGs. If not using Docker, a complete installation now requires a micromamba python environment. Two new Layer types have been added: Velocity and Image. GeoDatasets support more performance-based options and can behave similarly to Datasets.

  • New Layer Type: Image (to support standalone COGs)
  • Internal HTTPS support (no longer need to wrap MMGIS in a proxy to enable that)
  • Loading indicator
  • LINK_PREVIEW envs for custom description of page when shared through other apps
  • Open-api documentation at /api/docs
  • Support marker bearings with configurable icons
  • Support Right-clicking to copy IdentifierTool values
  • InfoTool with one-to-many Datasets
  • Add Dataset behavior to Geodatasets
  • Chunked uploads of GeoDatasets
  • Configurable Tile Layer Brightness, Contrast and Saturation

MMGIS v2.11.0

2.11.0

Mar 15, 2024

Summary

The release adds a new tool called the ShadeTool, capable of showing visibility maps of various celestial object and craft with the aid of SPICE. The ShadeTool can reveal answers to questions like: "At this time and on my current map, what are all the locations I can view the ISS from?"

Also added are dynamic vector layers that query only for the features immediately within the map's viewport and within time ranges and zoom ranges. This enables much larger vector files to be loaded and rendered without sacrificing performance.

Additionally some new features have been added to the DrawTool, along with new layer export options and various bugfixes and improvements.

Added

ShadeTool
SPICE integration and scheduled kernel downloads
Dynamic vector layers (query only vectors in screen)
DrawTool - Folders and tags can contain symbols
DrawTool - turning a file off also deselects it now
DrawTool - template fields can be reordered
DrawTool - Advanced filter in Features tab
DrawTool - Filter state management
DrawTool - Move
Export .shp and .kml LayersTool and DrawTool
MeasureTool and IdentifierTool Layer Vars (configure them in the layer instead of in the tool)
Identifier tool vsicurl support
IdentifierTool - Query Datasets with Time
Tools can be expanded horizontally
Hotkeys
Local vector layer filtering now supports booleans
Add Database docs
Geodatasets now use spatial and temporal db indices
Geodatasets now support dedicated time fields
Add Geodatasets API docs
Add geodatasets/remove endpoints
Add file_description tagging schemes to DB docs
Deep Link shall also deep link to start and end times
urlReplacements layer raw variables to inject parameters
GENERATE_SOURCEMAP ENV

Changed

Image Overlay improvements
Description topbar improvements
Minor updates for API calls
Improve KML Export Styles
Remove 'Layer Group' and 'Layer' titles from LayerInfoModal
