GeoLibre v1.2.0 is here!
GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. One application that runs everywhere: in your web browser, as a native desktop app, on your phone, and inside a Jupyter notebook. No account, no server, no cost. Everything runs locally and your data stays private.
This release packs in 35 pull requests of new capabilities. A few highlights:
- Run SQL right in the browser. The SQL Workspace pairs DuckDB Spatial with a new in-browser PostGIS engine (PGlite), so you can query layers, local files, and remote URLs without a server.
- A smarter attribute table. Add fields, run a field calculator, and explore your data with a built-in Charts panel (histogram, scatter, bar, line, and box plots).
- More ways to add data. OpenStreetMap PBF extracts, Cloud-Optimized NetCDF/HDF via kerchunk, georeferenced video overlays, authenticated 3D Tiles, and a
deck.gl Layer builder for custom overlays.
- Better visualization. Heatmap rendering, point clustering, and H3 hexagonal grids for spatial binning.
- New analysis and routing. A Directions plugin, plus Spatial Join, Select by Value, and Select by Location vector tools.
- Print and share. A print layout composer that exports your map to PNG or PDF.
- Work faster. A command palette (Ctrl/Cmd K), global keyboard shortcuts, and undo/redo for layer and style operations.
- Built for everyone. New internationalization framework, an accessibility pass with automated axe checks, an installable offline-capable PWA web build, React error boundaries, and Playwright end-to-end tests.
