Changelog

Added ⭐

New theme of the Lizmap Web Client interface
Dataviz
- Use the popup title when showing plot in a popup
- Respect the new option "trigger filter" to avoid filtering the plot on layer filtered
- The editor can now configure how the plots will be organized in the web interface.
  A new Drag & Drop layout tab has been added in Lizmap plugin Dataviz tab,
  which allows to create tabs and groups like it can be done for forms.
Legend
- Add checkbox in the legend to enable/disable some symbols within the layer
- Add symbols of the legend item by default for all layers and rendering rules
- Group project-background-color to display the default background color
- Use any base layer as a background, the usage of legacy keywords osm-mapnik etc. is now deprecated
- These new background layers must be in a group called baselayers.
Improve the "QGIS theme" feature
Editing
- Better user experience with 1-n relations: the data tables of the related child layers
  now respect the position configured in the QGIS editing drag&drop designer.
- Add a combobox in the popup to allow creating a new child feature for the related
  layers. This will allow creating child features directly from the parent popup.
- Add some constraints : distance, angle when adding a new geometry
- Add a button to paste a geometry
Drawing tool
- New display for measurements on the map
- Set feature's color individually
- Delete features individually
- Draw text on the map canvas
  - Rotation
  - Scaling
Form filter: Allow using a second field for the numeric type like it is already possible for dates.
This is useful when the layer features contain two fields describing a minimum and maximum value of the same property.
Action module
- New support for project and layer scopes: the actions can now be used outside the popup, for a specific chosen layer or as a generic project action.
  - A new web component <lizmap-action-selector> is used to let the user choose an action and run it (for the layer and project scopes)
  - A new dock is available and shows the list of the project actions, with buttons to run an action and another to reset the results.
  - For the layers with actions configured, a click on the layer in the legend also shows the action selector and buttons and allows running this layer actions
- An SVG icon can be used instead of a bootstrap icon as a background of the popup action buttons
- the current map extent and map center are sent as parameters in WKT format (projection EPSG:4326) and can be used in the PostgreSQL function
- Actions can be run from external JavaScript scripts, for example:
```
// Run an action
lizMap.mainLizmap.action.runLizmapAction(actionName, scope = 'feature', layerId = null, featureId = null, wkt = null);
// Reset the action
lizMap.mainLizmap.action.resetLizmapAction()
```
- A WKT in EPSG:4326 can also be sent as an additional parameter.
  This is only possible when running the action with JavaScript.
  This allows to send a geometry to be used by the PostgreSQL action
  (for example, to get data from another table with geometries intersecting this passed WKT geometry)
- The JavaScript and HTML code has been modernized (no more jQuery calls, usage of web components, etc.)
Review of the permalink feature
- The URL is now automatically updated when we pan or zoom, or check/uncheck some layers
Print configurations.
- For each layout, you can:
  - enable/disable it
  - set allowed groups
  - set formats and default one
  - set DPIs and default one
  - set a custom icon for a QGIS atlas layout in the feature's popup
- New user interface for printing
  - print area is now displayed as a mask on the map
  - an advanced panel allows you to:
    - set X/Y parameters for the grid
    - set main map rotation
    - set DPI
Add MGRS coordinates display on the map
Support of the Webdav attachement widget (contributions from @mind84) :
- Upload and delete files on a Webdav server from Lizmap Web Client
- View files stored in a webdav server within a Lizmap popup
Set a custom title on the landing page, instead of "Projects"
On the landing page, possible to add some content in the footer.
It's set in the administration interface, then "Landing page"
Login
- New password security checker
- Add possibility to log with an email

Changed ♻

Avoid downloading the default project image multiple times.
This improves the first load of the project page
Change the configurations of the Lizmap editing form fields published with autocompletion
- add a delay of 300ms to lessen the number of requests sent to the server

Refactor the geobookmark feature
