    Funny that this is on the front page of HN. I’m currently attending a 3 day in person immersive course at a university. For what applications are you guys using it for? Curious about the potential

    qgis is the best gis software ever... i use it weekly, almost daily.

    my next move would be to learn how to make my own plugins.

    ps: i'm a forester, fwiw :)

    I get an 504 error when trying to open the page. There's no changelog page for 4.0 linked on the home page, so I guess that it hasn't been created yet?

      It appears so, the release is tracked here and isn't complete: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/milestone/226

      https://changelog.qgis.org

      That page is also down.

      Even previous ones, listed on Google when searching "QGIS changelog" are all down. So it's a server error on their side most likely.

      It's 2026, serving semi-static webpages should be a solved problem for at least 30 years. I'm still puzzled that HN-hug-of-death is a thing.

    Another project that makes me want an equivalent for 2D or 3D CAD! CAD is missing a QGIS or Blender…

    Congrats to QGIS team, looking forward to native apple silicon support

    QGIS is great. One of the truly good open source projects. I used it to successfully extract 3D height data for the mountains next to my hometown. This was not an easy task since the miuntains are on a national border and I had to combine height data from two national sources. It still worked out perfectly fine.

      in france the lidar collection of data is almost entirely done, we can get numerical model of the terrain and tree heights, it's awesome in qgis!

    there's really no excuse for not running cloudflare at least it is 2026.

      Don’t you dare take away the little rest of the internet for me that does NOT constantly lock me out using the snake oil that is Cloudflare’s Turnstile.
