modRana 0.54.1 has been released!

This finally brings brings some substantial features.

improved map display
Map display should be now much more fluid & optimized. There should be no flickering ever and fresh tiles will now be loaded even during panning. Also thanks yet again to woot for suggestions on how to improve map drawing in modRana which made this possible!

high DPI handling improvements
The modRana UI should now finally look right on high DPI devices such as the Jolla C, the Jolla Tablet, Intex Aquafish, ported devices with high DPI displays, etc.

track recording visualisation
ModRana now draws a trace on the map when recording a tracklog. So you can easily check where you went, that track recording is running and/or how horrible the position data reported by mobile GPS receivers actually is.



showing tracklogs on the map
As of 0.54.1 modRana can finally show stored tracklogs on the map! There is now a new "List" option in the Tracks menu, which leads to a listing of locally stored tracklog categories. By default there are two tracklogs in the examples category and tracklogs you have recorded in the logs category. ModRana should be also able to display any other valid GPX tracklogs stored in one of the category folders. You can see the path to the modRana tracklog folder in the Track->Record menu. In the future there should be a more user friendly option to import tracklog files through a open-file dialog & options for tracklog management (change category, rename, remove).



Changelog

Code:
   
- much better looking, more fluid & more optimized map display

OpenRepos
Jolla Store - in a few days
N900 package - Soon!(tm) - As most of the recent changes are related to the Qt 5 UI not available on the N900 I currently see other things as a priority.
Minix - not likely
