modRana 0.53.2 has been released !

The main highlight of this release is improved map tile handling:
  • all supported storage methods are checked when looking for tiles in local storage - if you have some tiles in sqlite and some as files, modRana will now check both
  • sqlite tile storage should now be much more robust - there should be no more "database locked errors" and similar weirdness due to fully serialized database access
  • this "rewrite" also makes tile storage in modRana much more modular, making it easy to add support for additional tile storage methods or for storing vector tile data

ModRana can now also show up the map layers provided by the Thunderforest project, map layers using the quadtile addressing should now show up correctly again and some dead layers have been cleaned up.

There have been also other fixes, for example on how the GTK GUI handled Unicode and multiline notifications and their timeouts. The Qt 5 GUI also got some fixes for tile rendering glitches and unhandled cases during map overlay config loading.
