What's Changed

  • Redesigned the map feature to replace Mapbox with the osmdroid library. Key elements like pin visualization and user-centered display are still included in this redesign. This is done to guard against possible misuse of the Mapbox token and, more crucially, to keep the app from becoming dependent on a service that charges for usage but offers a free tier. @kanahia1 contributed to this in #5403 #5443 #5475 #5555 #5631.

    @tamojitdas made a contribution by fixing the test failures brought on by this modification. Refer to #5536.

    @rohit9625 contributed by enabling the app to retrieve map tiles from Wikimedia maps. Refer to #5417.

    @k-rajesh contributed by removing MapBox from CREDITS. Refer to #5617.

  • Add the ability to export locations of nearby missing pictures in GPX and KML formats. This allows users to browse the locations with desired radius for offline use in their favourite map apps like OsmAnd or Maps.me, enhancing accessibility and offline functionality. This change was contributed by @kanahia1 in #5645

  • Limited the uploads via the custom image picker to a maximum of 20. This change was contributed by @u7469570 in #5369

  • Added two menu choices for transparent image backgrounds, giving users the option of either a black or white background, increasing adaptability to various theme settings. User customization option has been provided with the ability to save background color selections permanently on a per image basis. This change was contributed by @Pierre-Monier in #5394

  • Implemented functionality to automatically resume uploads that become stuck due to app termination or device reboot. This change was contributed by @RitikaPahwa4444 in #5399

  • Added a compass arrow in the Nearby banner shown in the "Contributions" screen to guide users towards the nearest item, thus providing the missing directional cues. The arrow dynamically adjusts based on device rotation, aligning with the calculated bearing towards the target location. Further, the distance and direction are updated as the user moves. This change was contributed by @ShashwatKedia in #5433 #5459

  • Implemented voice input feature for caption and description fields, enabling users to dictate text directly into these fields. This change was contributed by @kanahia1 in #5415

  • Improved various flows in the app to redirect users to the login page and display a persistent message if their session becomes invalid due to a password change, enhancing user guidance and security measures. This change was contributed by @shashankiitbhu in #5544 #5643
