modRana v0.46.1 has been released !

The two biggest highlights of this release are:
  • local search works again!
    Thanks to Geoff Kuenning, local search works yet again and now uses the the Places API provided by Google. Thanks a lot Geoff!

    BTW, I still plan to eventually add support for local search based on OpenStreetMap data (most probably using the Overpass API), but like this we have something that works until then.
  • improved tile handling
    Map drawing and tile download (both automatic and batch) have been improved and should be now faster and more efficient.

Known issues

That theme related map corruption bug has not yet been fixed.

Changelog:
Code:
* Wed Apr 16 2014 Martin Kolman - 0.46.1
- local search works again thanks to a patch provided by Geoff Kuenning - thanks a lot ! :)
- it is now possible to set local search radius in the GTK GUI (in options and directly in the search menu with a toggle button)
- map display and dragging should now be faster
- automatic map tile downloading has been rewritten and should be now more efficient
- batch tile download has been rewritten and improved - should be now more efficient and faster
- the tile handling code is now in much better shape overall
- the batch tile menu in GTK GUI no longer lags and has a more logical structure
- fix tile downloading not working in Sailfish GUI due to Python 3.4 breaking old bundled version of Urllib 3
