Heroic Hedgehog{.r-fit-text}  --- ### 🚀 Features * Map canvas rotation support (via pinch rotation gesture and mouse middle button) * Audio and video attachment recording and playback within the feature form * File attachment support added to the feature form * User interface dark theme styling and font scaling * A completely revamped non-native camera featuring zoom support, flash toggle, **GPS location metadata**, and a much better interface * New action to import a dataset of compressed project from a remote URL --- #### 2.8 - Insightful Indri  --- ### 🚀 Features * Sensors data handling (reading, writing to feature, tracking) within QField * Skip the welcome screen and jump right into your last opened - or user-specified - project when launching QField * IMU correction for supported Happy GNSS devices * Global map shading rendering support ---  ---  --- ### ✨ Improvements * Handle opening of individual datasets with mixed geometry layers * Feature lists are now sorted, everywhere * Feature form’s field labels will now respect the color and style overrides defined in project files * File association to support opening .mbtiles standalone datasets ---  --- #### 3.0.0 - Amazonia  --- ### 🚀 Features - General * Near-Field Communication (NFC) text tag reading support * The welcome screen’s recent projects list is now equipped with a map canvas preview * New active layer feature search functionality in the top search bar * New map canvas rendering quality setting to unlocked faster rendering speeds and lower memory usage at the cost of a slightly rendering quality reduction * A list of feature(s) under which a long press has occurred is now appended to the map canvas menu with action shortcuts--- --- ### 🚀 Features - General continued * Relationship-related editor widgets now allows for zooming onto the child/parent within the feature form * Layer credits are now displayed within the layer properties panel when available in opened projects * Imperial and nautical scale bar support * Feature form text widget support * Point cloud profiles ---  --- ### 🚀 Features - Tracking * New erroneous position safeguard defined as a maximum distance threshold * Resumption of tracking across sessions ---  --- ### 🚀 Features - Digitizing continued * New snapping button which allows users to toggle snapping on/off while digitizing * New legend snapping badges when project is set up to advanced snapping mode * Digitizing of geometry vertices through volume keys * Brand new geometry editor’s eraser tool allowing users to remove parts of a geometry by drawing areas of deletion --- ### ✨ Improvements - Qt6 * Dramatically improved Material theme used to style UI elements such as combo boxes * Improved dark theme color scheme * Improved internal positioning handling of satellite information * Years worth of fixes and improves when compared to the previously used version --- ### ✨ Improvements - Quality of life * The value relation editor widget has received several fixes and UX improvements * When duplicating features, users are now asked to move the duplicated feature immediately * Duplication of features will now copy any children of any existing relationships set to composition strength * Missing project fonts are now downloaded in the background and automatically added into QField--- --- ### ✨ Improvements - Quality of life * Labels visibility on vector tile layers can now be toggle on/off * QField now exports layouts as PDFs on iOS * Improvements in the handling of altitude with external GNSS receivers * Countless optimizations have made QField’s UI smoother than ever --- #### 3.1.0 - Borneo  --- ### 🚀 Features * QField can now snap to common angles when digitizing lines and polygons * Expression-driven locking of geometry per feature * QField's QML camera now adds direction metadata alongside geographical information * QField's QML also features a grid overlay--- --- ### 🚀 Features continued * Vertex editor has again a new undo mechanism and capability to select a vertex by finger tapping on the screen * `@positioning_orientation` variable available when running on devices equipped with a compass * Functionality to allow for non-cloud projects to be updated through a ZIP file containing refreshed and/or new datasets and project file --- #### 3.2.0 - Congo (Latest)  --- ### 🚀 Features * Project-defined tracking sessions activated on project load * Background push and synchronization for cloud projects * Automatically push pending changes to the cloud on a regular interval * New undo/redo functionality allowing you to reverse undesired digitizing and feature editing * Title and copyright decoration overlay on top of the map canvas ---  --- ### ✨ Improvements * Better progress feedback when downloading and synchronizing cloud projects * Visual indicators of ‘newer’ cloud project available on the server in QField * Relationship’s children can now be created _prior to_ saving their parent feature * Insure positioning precise view (i.e. stake-out) works on compass-less devices--- --- ### ✨ Improvements continued * User interface polishing, including a brand new main menu layout * Support for gpsd-served NMEA streams over TCP/UDP * Updated several underlying libraries, including QGIS (v3.36) and Qt (v6.6.2) --- ### 🤖 Android improvements * Massive re-work of native camera, gallery, and file opening activities unlocking proper OS activity overlay --- <!-- .slide: data-background="https://talks.opengis.ch/qfield/images/qf32.jpg" --> --- # More * qfield.org * fosstodon.org/@qfield * opengis.ch/blog
