MMGIS v4.2.34

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.
