modRana 0.43.2 has been FINALLY released !
This release should fix most of the recently reported issues, such as:
  • the annoying Xlib bug when starting navigation
  • address search now works again and uses Nominatim instead of Google
  • directions should again look fine when using Monav (no more "None to First Street")
There are also various improvements, such as:
  • The QML GUI now can do address search (can be also used to search for named restaurants and other amenities)
  • The QML GUI now should look fine on high-DPI devices
  • multiple background tasks can be canceled individually in the GTK GUI
  • better address display in route info menu
  • the Monav routing server is now started asynchronously
There was quite a lot of invasive work going on regarding of how asynchronous routing and point search work, including the integration of a thread manager component from the Anaconda installer project. This should make support for new providers and usage of the data from multiple GUI front-ends easier.

Since this is "done" and working, releases now should again happen more often.
