This patch release contains bug fixes and updated translations. Key changes:
- When exporting to OCD, template paths containing umlauts etc. (ÖÄÅ...) now properly use the 8-bit encoding (#1046).
- When exporting to OCD, Mapper now tries to load hidden georeferenced images templates so that the position can be saved correctly.
- The special color "Registration Black" is now correctly saved for all point symbol elements (#1086).
- The icon for the delete-objects tool is now a trash bin.

A selection of other changes:
- Corrections for some issues with opening or importing maps and data.
- Helper symbols (e.g. for field work) no longer affect the automatic symbol icon scaling (#1051).
- Fixed a number of quirks of the paint-on-template tool.
- macOS: Fixed missing menu items in some translations (at least Czech, #1067).
- Android: Made the special touch cursor working again (#1063).

v0.8.0
We are proud to offer a you a new release which marks a significant step forward. This release brings ISOM2017 symbol sets, adding some new features to symbols where needed. For replacing symbols, but also for importing data e.g. from OpenStreetMap files, you may now use CRT files. A simple but effective query language helps you to identify objects beyond code numbers and layer names.
Not only with Android users in mind, a lot of work was done on symbol icon appearance. Especially on Android, you will benefit from the possiblity to change the symbol icon size. But you may now also hide or protected symbols in the mobile app. When drawing in the field, jump to your current location with just one touch, or switch easily to 1x or 2x zoom. Generally when drawing, you may now see azimuth and distance information if desired.
The symbol sets were integrated into the same system of online translation as the Mapper user interface, facilitating contributions. On the documentation side, there is now a PDF version of the manual.
A small selection of other changes:
- Improved symbol icons also when exporting to OCD.
- A "Find" dialog which can be used for complex queries for textual properties.
- Modified pattern clipping (change in file format)
- Modified dash symbol scaling (change in file format)
- More robust template loading, reducing memory related issues on Android

The release contains 788 commits since 0.7.0, changing 583 source files, contributed by 27 persons.

v0.7.93 - Second beta for v0.8.0
Since v0.7.92, we further improved symbol icons on screen and when exporting to OCD. GPX tracks are recorded with correct timestamps now. The "Query editor" formerly known as "Tag Selection" window was moved to the new "Find..." dialog. The manual is available as a PDF file.
Already in v0.7.92:
- Azimuth and distance information when drawing paths
- Symbol icon size changeable (Settings > Editor)
Already in v0.7.91:
- ISOM 2017 symbol set
- Advanced CRT file support with object queries
- CRT files for conversion to ISOM2017 and for import of OSM
- "Find" dialog with object queries
- Distinct symbol set translations
- Modified pattern clipping (change in file format)
- Modified dash symbol scaling (change in file format)
- Menu to change visibility and protection of symbols on Android
- More robust template loading, reducing memory related issues on Android

Known issues in v0.7.93 will be collected there, too.
The release contains 716 commits since 0.7.0, changing 563 source files, contributed by 27 persons.
This is a beta release for testing, so use with care. Especially on Android, remember to backup you map files. Android removes data files associated with an app on deinstallation.
However, we think that v0.7.93 is fairly stable, and only documentation and translations are planned to be update before release v0.8.0.
Binaries for Android and macOS (based on OpenOrienteering/superbuild@022e43d) will be published here. For Windows and Linux, use the regular master builds instead.

v0.7.0
Mapper 0.7.0 contains many visible and invisible changes over Mapper 0.6.x.
- The software is build on top of a significant number of third-party components which have to be assembled and delivered with Mapper for Windows, Mac and Android. A new "superbuild" system (#674, https://github.com/OpenOrienteering/superbuild) helps to provide a consistent and reproducible set of sources, patches and documentation.
You may think this affects only developers. But wait: The superbuild facilitates the provisioning of Mapper updates, including security updates and bug fixes for third-party components, and the addition of new features which depend on third party components. - Mapper starts using GDAL/OGR, adding access to many geodata file formats (#574).
However, only a small set of vector data formats are supported at the moment. Shape file support is the only real addition so far. DXF file support is much improved. GPX and OSM support has some changes in behaviour. More formats and raster data will be added in future Mapper releases. - The text editor has been significantly reworked. Now it features input method support which helps not only for non-latin alphabets but also enables text editing on Android. A number of quirks were removed.
- For DXF files generated by Terje's script for lidar data processing (http://tmsw.no/mapping/basemap_generation.html), there is now basic support for assigning symbols by a CRT file (#261).
- On macOS, a nasty PDF export bug was fixed (#269).
- This release fixes some bugs with importing OCD files.
(Georeferenced templates were imported incorrectly for georeferenced OCD files, #879; Mapper may hang with some files, #875.) - A Chinese translation was added by a contributor, and many translations were improved.
- JPEG2000 is no longer supported. The previous third-party component has been without updates for a while and was deactivated due to security issues.
(We may re-add JPEG2000 in a future version, based on GDAL and another library.) Note that normal JPEG files still work unchanged. - The previous ISOM symbol set is renamed to ISOM2000.
(Work on an ISOM2017 symbol set is in progress but not yet ready.)

Thanks to all the contributors!
Deprecation Warnings
- Mapper 0.7 is the last version which supports OS X 10.7.
- Mapper 0.7 is the last version which supports reading the legacy binary file format. (Write support was removed a long time ago. You will see a warning when opening a file in this format. Just save the map again to upgrade to the current format.)
