RustGIS v0.6.0 ships: pure-Rust open-source GIS with background jobs and vector PDF export
giswqs · x · 2026-11-09
RustGIS v0.6.0 is out. RustGIS is a fast, free, open-source GIS written in pure Rust for mapping, analyzing and sharing geospatial data, running natively on Windows/macOS/Linux and in the browser. Data stays local unless you send it to an AI model of your choice, and every action is a scriptable command.
Highlights:
- Background execution: tools, exports and large reads run off the main thread with progress and Cancel, many multi-core, plus batch runs.
- Publication output: layouts as vector PDF and SVG, multi-column legends.
- New diagrams, label callouts and polygon editing tools.
- Combines 250+ PRs from 29 contributors, 8 first-timers.
