In this release, we introduce nice new main features, such as freehand digitizing, communication with external GNSS receiver and others.
Freehand digitizing
The Freehand Digitizing mode allows users to "draw" lines and polygons with a stylus pen. The mode is available for adding line/polygon features as well as for the ring tool of the geometry editor.
Improvements on the Relation Reference Widget
View and Edit selected feature
The intuitive eye icon next to the widget lets you open the form of the referenced parent feature to view and edit it.
Autocomplete mode
When auto-complete is enabled, you can easily perform a search in all available parent features.
With space-separated input, you can search for the beginning of multiple words in the display name of the parent features.
Bluetooth integration to communicate with external GNSS receivers
It can receive and decode NMEA sentences received via Bluetooth from an external GNSS receiver (such as an EMLID Reach RS2).
Search for paired Bluetooth devices in the device settings, connect to the external device and receive the GNSS information.
Select vertical grid shift files
In the QField settings, you can select a grid file on your mobile device by placing it in a directory named QField/proj in the main folder of the internal storage to increase the vertical location accuracy.
Postgres Config File
Define Postgresql services in a pg_service.conf file and use it on your mobile device by placing it directly in a directory named QField in the main folder of the internal storage.
Add reload data button
The layer properties have been polished and in addition, you will find a button to reload the layer data. This is especially useful if you use WFS layers from which you need to get updates.
Register extra fonts
Also, you can add TTF and OTF font files into a directory named QField/fonts at the main folder of the internal storage to use the nice fonts you like.
Support of new raster file formats
Many new raster file formats are supported - most notably COG.
