2026.2.0

What's Changed

This release brings new filtering feature!

Geopackage layers will support setting up filters for number, text, date and boolean fields. For each field you can pick from free text, number range, date & time range, boolean picker and single or multi select filter. Besides new menu option and floating map button for filtering, you'll find warnings throughout the app informing you if some features are currently hidden (e.g. feature list, relation widget inside form).

Happy mapping! 🔍

User improvements

• Add photo card component and update photo component by @gabriel-bolbotina in #4317
• Filtering support by @Withalion & @gabriel-bolbotina & @tomasMizera in #4451

Windows app

We identified an issue, which caused the features and map not respond correctly to user inputs and thus the windows executable won't be available for this release. We will try to fix this issue in next release.

2026.1.2

What's Changed

This release includes fixes and improvements to features introduced recently.

With QGIS 4 released a few weeks ago, some breaking changes were introduced. The mobile app now supports both QGIS 3 and QGIS 4 projects.

We also fixed:

• Missing foreign key in forms not creating a relation
• Sketched pictures sometimes rotating clockwise after saving
• Performance issues in projects with value relations
• Default path for photo fields not using the current value when referencing other fields

Happy mapping! ☔

2026.1.1

What's Changed

This release brings fixes and improvements to various features we released recently. Some major improvements for windows app include:

• photo attachments work correctly
• protected layers will be loaded without issues

The search bars will react to all characters typed again on all keyboards and there will be a slight delay for searching, which should improve user experience while searching through local and network locations. Field constraints will be finally translated to different languages, so don't forget to have a look at our translations page if your language is missing!

Lastly we polished the user experience after improving position and elevation processing in last release.

• bluetooth providers on Android support custom geoid models
• @position_provider_name variable returns External (mock) value if mocked position is detected
• elevation info bubble is always available, and also translatable
• fixes for local geoid models

Happy mapping! 🌱

2026.1.0

What's Changed

This release brings major improvement to elevation support in the app, support for protected layers and various fixes.
The GNSS enhancement bundle continues from last release improvements and brings:

• new form variable elevation_ellipsoid => should be used as @position_elevation_ellipsoid
• altitude form variable changed to elevation => should be used as @position_elevation
• usage of orthometric heights, by default using EGM96 geoid model
  • for external providers we show the received value by default
  • it will be possible to change the model in plugin
• improved detection of mocked position (visible in GPS panel now)
• elevation subtracts the height of antenna by default

You can find more information here or soon in our documentation.

With the improved support of protected layers in app you will be able to work with them without issues now. Mergin Maps plugin will automatically pack the authorization with QGIS project and after syncing on mobile device the layers will load.

Last but not least the map sketching drawer got a facelift! The eraser button got moved in the header of the drawer and new redo button is there too.

Happy mapping ☃️

2025.8.0

What's Changed

This release brings mostly improvements and bug fixes to existing features. The "select multiple features" tool now also offers the option to delete the features. Splitting tool now tells you right away if the split line is not valid without leaving the split view.

Automatic synchronization got upgraded too! Besides synchronizing after every change, now it will synchronize after:

• 1 minute
• project is opened
• application comes to foreground

Don't be worried about recurring error notifications in offline mode, we fixed that too!

GNSS devices support got some minor improvements. The GPS info panel will show geoid separation when connected via bluetooth to external device. This value will be also available in forms with @position_geoid_separation variable. More improvements to GNSS device support and elevation are coming in next release!

Happy mapping! 🎁
