maplibre-rs monthly

maplibre-rs is an upcoming and cross-platform vector map renderer written in Rust. If you want to get in touch with the developers visit the #maplibre:matrix.org chat or join the MapLibre (#maplibre and #maplibre-rs) community within the OpenStreetMap Slack. You can get an invite here.

This months we had quite a few first-time contributions! Let’s hope this trend keeps up. The maplibre-rs team will try to supply enough high-quality issues. Apart from that major progress in headless rendering and CI infrastructure has been done.

I’m happy to announce that @ybiletskyi and @Quillasp are checking out what’s needed to get raster tile rendering working. @ybiletskyi resolved a limitation of wgpu in #2781. Looking forward to see how the project scales with new features!

The paper about maplibre-rs for FOSS4G is finished! Looking forward to meet all of you in August!

The following will summarizes what happened last week on GitHub.

• #130 Allow panning with touch inputs by @Drabble
  Panning should work now on more platforms.
• #129 Enable bechmarks by @maxammann
  Because of the headless mode, we can benchmark the rendering now. A software-based renderer is used in the CI.
• #124 Deploy to cloudflare by @maxammann
  
• #123 Fix deployment of docs, and disable of demo by @maxammann
  Documentation and demos are now deployed on Github and Cloudflare infrastructure.
• #119 Headless windows & Data pipeline by @maxammann
  For the first time its possible to render arbitrary tiles to PNG files.
• #118 Struct for zoom level by @ybiletskyi
  First time contribution by @ybiletskyi! Thanks for improving code quality.
• #117 Fix unit test build and run tests on CI (on some platforms) by @yzsolt
  Thanks for noticing that we did not even run the tests in the CI!
• #111 Add sqlite feature flag by @jackson211
  SQLite is no longer required for building on Windows for example.
• #105 Android improvements by @Drabble
  Minor changes for compiling for a greater range of Android devices.

• #140 Problem in running “Maplibre-demo” in windows 10 by @Shawn-Fan
  Windows seems to be a recurring challenge.
• #139 Support other projections than the Mercator projection by @Drabble
  We will need some qualified input here! Reach out to us if you have a vision about projection support!
• #138 Upgrade Trace to 0.8.1 by @maxammann
  This is a relatively simple issue for first-time-contributors.
