Due to a last minute fumble with revision.h, the source package had to be updated to 0.15.1.

For packagers, also note that a new qmake parameter has been added, RELEASE=1. This one is cosmetic only and allows proper internal labels for a release.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi All,

The source tarball for 0.14 has been updated due to a bug when NOUSEWEBKIT=1 was enabled on the qmake command-line or in Config.pri.
You don't have to redownload the sources if you don't use this parameter.

Note that the only situation where this parameter has to be used is when Qt4 is compiled without webkit support.

The merkaartor-0.14 tag has also been updated in SVN.

Best Regards - Chris -

Here is 0.14-beta1 in source and windows versions.

merkaartor-0.14-beta1.msi (22519kB). merkaartor-0.14-beta1.tar.bz2 (5049kB).

A couple of features slipped in since pre2, besides the bug fixes:

The issue regarding area clipping is solved.

Other relevant CHANGELOG entries are:

* FIX : Problem with "center" & "center & zoom" from the properties dock
* FIX : Nodes fetched by relations are incomplete and not completed by "download more" (fixes #1715)

Thanks to Denis De Mesmaeker, we also have a Mac OSX binary! You'll need to install Qt 4.4.3+ yourself, though, and translations are not included. We hope to solve that soon.

Here is 0.13-rc5 in debug mode. The shortcut will launch merkaartor under GDB (included) and generate a full backtrace upon segfault.

In case of crash, please send the "gdb.txt" in your merkaartor directory to cbro(at)semperpax(dot)com.

Thanks

merkaartor-0.13-rc5-debug.msi (74968kB).

The release of 0.13 will be delayed by and additional week, pushing till 15th March.

I feel it is needed to harden the upload process, especially regarding error handling. I hope to have that done by March, 8th. I'll then upload another RC for windows.

Regards

AS there seem to be crashes to dig out, here is 0.13-rc4 in debug mode. The shortcut will launch merkaartor under GDB (included) and generate a full backtrace upon segfault.

This makes Merkaartor quite long to start but shouldn't impact the performances too much thereafter.

In case of crash, please send the "gdb.txt" in your merkaartor directory to cbro(at)semperpax(dot)com.

Thanks
