Breaking changes

As of this release Hajk has dropped support for Internet Explorer 11. This is mainly a consequence of the MUI 5 upgrade. If you still need to support IE11, feel free to include the necessary polyfills (see MUI 5 docs) and create custom builds.

Major new features

LayerComparer

View two layers side-by-side, with full map functionality still enabled.

See #687 for more details and the road that got us there.

Print gains full support for high DPI printouts

Finally a working solution that quickly delivers accurate printouts with amazing crisp look and correct scale, even for high DPI. See also #1053.

MapClickViewer: a new infoclick solution

There is now an option (in Admin UI) that can enable a completely new, rewritten from scratch, infoclick (e.g. FeatureInfo) plugin. The main difference compared to the previous solution is that the results are grouped into categories (datasets), similarly as to how it's done in the Search plugin. When multiple results arrive user are now presented with a nice overview and can drill down to the interesting results. In addition, more text can be shown in the initial list, making it possible to create fantastic solutions for problems that previously weren't solvable.

See #1034

MUI 5

This complex and time consuming migration is now completed. Read more on all the benefits and how we got here in #871.

Attribute table for WMS layers

It is now possible to enable (on a per-layer basis) a button that upon click shows the WMS service's attribute table. This is a common operation in many desktop GIS apps and nice to have in this webGIS solution.

See also #595.

Upgrade to React 18

Another important migration to stay on top of the ecosystem. See also #1054.

Support for connecting Hajk with web analytics

The growing need to understand how our users interact with the maps led us to implementing a built-in, opt-in support for the open source, GDPR-compilant analytics solution, Plausible. The system is also ready for implementing support for other services, with some preparations being made for Matomo. See #1065 for more details.
