Changelog

Unreleased

0.3.1 - 2026-10-20

  • QGIS does not freeze when a background read ends while the window updates. A thumbnail, a catalog document, or a PMTiles tile read could stop QGIS at random before.

0.3.0 - 2026-10-20

  • Add to map has a SQL tab for GeoParquet. Filter the rows with a QGIS expression, select the columns, preview the first 100 rows, and copy the DuckDB query as a script. Write my own SQL replaces the choice with your own SELECT. Loads, downloads, and saved projects keep the choice, and a project asks before it runs SQL that its author wrote.
  • Copy as GDAL command, in the arrow menu next to View on map, Load full data, and Add as one layer, copies the gdal_translate, ogr2ogr, or mosaic commands that do the same outside QGIS.
  • Zoom to Layer on a PMTiles layer frames the data instead of the whole world. The layer properties show the extent of the archive.
  • The plugin shows its window, messages, and plugin manager description in Spanish and French when QGIS runs in either language. Numbers and file sizes use that language's separators.
  • The documentation site is available in Spanish at /es/ and in French at /fr/, with a language menu in the header.
  • Load full data reads partitioned GeoParquet that a partition:glob or glob asset names. DuckDB reads an s3:// or gs:// glob directly. For a glob that only HTTPS serves, the plugin loads the GeoParquet file of each item in the area of interest. Download lists and saves the partition files.
  • A partitioned Source Cooperative product loads from the bucket prefix that the Source Cooperative API gives, such as tge-labs/ftw-global-data/ for ftw/global-data.
  • When an s3:// glob names a bucket that Amazon S3 does not have, the message says so and says that the catalog gives no other endpoint.
  • A clipped GeoParquet load counts and copies the features faster. A load of 17 files takes about 33 seconds instead of 584.
  • GeoParquet loads, COG mosaics, and downloads show the percentage done and the time left.
  • Add as one layer also adds a collection of GeoParquet items. Item rows show any data file.
  • A style that gives a pmtiles:// tiles template loads, and the plugin matches a style to its archive by file name.
  • Relative links resolve against the final URL after a redirect.
  • Load full data finds the geometry of a GeoParquet file without geo metadata in a WKB column named shape or geog, the same names that the STAC table columns use.
  • A PMTiles style or sprite on an S3 website endpoint loads over HTTPS, as the catalog itself does.
  • Cancel stops the search for the files of a mosaic, the build of the mosaic, and the listing of the files to download. Before, it stopped only a download. The progress bar shows while the mosaic builds.
  • Report a problem ↗ under Details opens the registry's dataset problem form on GitHub, filled with the catalog ID, the dataset URL, the date, and the plugin and QGIS versions. The button shows only for a catalog that has an ID in the registry.
  • Report a bug in Web > Portolan Registry and in the window header opens the plugin's problem form on GitHub, with the plugin, QGIS, Qt, Python, GDAL, and DuckDB versions and the operating system filled in.

0.2.0 - 2026-10-11

  • The plugin is no longer marked experimental, so the QGIS plugin manager lists it without the experimental option.
  • The registry opens in a window instead of a side panel. You can pan the map while it is open. It keeps its size, its divider, and the open state of its sections between sessions.
  • The details pane shows the dataset's name with Zoom to and Open in Portolan browser ↗ next to it. The browser shows every file and all the metadata that the plugin leaves out.
  • The details show in four sections that you can close: About, Add to map, All files, and Details. All files starts closed.
  • About shows the thumbnail, or a map of the extent when there is no thumbnail.
  • Details is one list: publisher, license, size, documentation, source, and a link to the browser. Each link shows once. A license value of other shows as Custom terms.
  • The status filter and the STAC type, ID, and extent coordinates are gone from the window.
  • Add to map starts with the area of interest: everything, the map extent, a drawn polygon, or the polygons of a layer.
  • View on map adds the PMTiles, else a COG. Load full data adds the GeoParquet, else the FlatGeobuf, GeoJSON, or CSV. Each tooltip names the format first.
  • Load full data copies only the GeoParquet features that intersect the area of interest. A feature that crosses the edge of the area stays whole. A saved project copies the same area again.
  • A collection of COG items shows as one N files row in the tree. Add as one layer adds the COGs in the area of interest as one layer, clipped to the area. A saved project builds the layer again.
  • Download saves everything in the area of interest. It leaves out items outside the area, and it saves each GeoParquet file as a GeoPackage of the features in the area.
  • All files lists only the files QGIS can open, each one once. It leaves out styles, thumbnails, upstream source files, earlier archive extracts, and item indexes. Add selected and Download selected act on the selected files, whole.
  • A check mark shows on each file that a layer in the project already reads.
  • CSV files open over HTTP, as points when the header names longitude and latitude columns in degrees.
  • A Parquet file with no geometry column shows as Parquet and loads as a table with Load table.
  • When a new layer lands outside the map, the map moves to it.
  • Right-click a publisher to open its catalog in the browser. The QGIS setting PortolanRegistry/browser_url points the links at a browser mirror.
  • A click that must wait for a running task says so. An error after a task ends goes to the QGIS message log.
  • COGs open when the GDAL setting CPL_VSIL_CURL_ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS is set. A file that the setting blocks gets a message that names the setting.
  • A COG that failed to open once opens on the next try. COG reads retry HTTP 429, 500, 502, 503, and 504. When GDAL cannot read a file, the message gives the reason, such as an HTTP status.
  • COG, GeoJSON, and FlatGeobuf files open with no directory listing and no side-car probes. GDAL ignores external side-car files such as .ovr and .aux.xml.
  • GeoParquet loads through a GeoPackage that DuckDB writes. A million polygons from a local file load in 2 seconds instead of 19, QGIS stays responsive, and memory use drops from 1.9 GB to 380 MB.
  • A GeoParquet load has no feature limit. Above 1,000,000 features, the window asks first.
  • GeoParquet files with date or timestamp columns load their features, and an attribute named geom loads. A feature whose geometry type does not fit the layer keeps its attributes, and the window reports the count.
  • A saved project copies its GeoParquet layers again when it opens. On QGIS 3.34, such a layer shows as unavailable until the copy ends.
  • PMTiles layers carry each of the collection's MapLibre styles as a named QGIS style. Switch styles from the layer's Styles menu. A PMTiles layer opens the archive you selected.
  • Styles that name their archive as a relative path, such as ../tiles.pmtiles, apply to the tiles. So do styles whose vector source has no url.
  • PMTiles layers draw faster when you pan, and QGIS keeps their tiles in its disk cache. A server that sends Cache-Control: no-store keeps its tiles out of the cache.
  • On QGIS 3.34 and 3.36, a PMTiles archive behind a redirect reads only the bytes it needs, and a server that ignores HTTP range requests is refused.
  • Downloads list eight catalog documents and fetch three files at the same time. A cancelled listing asks nothing. A file whose local path an earlier file already uses, such as Data.tif and data.tif, is reported as a failure.

0.1.1 - 2026-10-09

  • Each GitHub release has a plugin ZIP that installs in QGIS.
  • The QGIS plugin manager shows the changes in each release.

0.1.0 - 2026-10-07

  • A layer that fails to open shows GDAL's reason. A missing codec, such as LERC in the QGIS Flatpak, names the codec and what to do.
  • Registry panel with text, status, and map-extent filters. Each catalog shows a map of its extent and its logo.
  • Catalog page with the catalog tree, collection icons, thumbnails, details, and an asset list with format badges.
  • Pages of 25 catalogs and 50 tree entries.
  • PMTiles vector tile layers styled with the collection's MapLibre style.
  • GeoParquet layers through DuckDB, limited to the map extent by default.
  • COG, GeoJSON, and FlatGeobuf layers over HTTP.
  • Downloads that keep the catalog layout and verify file:checksum.
