Just tagged Maps 50.alpha and libshumate 1.6.alpha for GNOME 50:

Containing, among others, the new sidebar redesign, public transit journey redesign, using Transitous for all public transit routingm, and porting of UI templates to Blueprint for Maps.

And for libshumate the option to compile without the vector renderer has been removed, the vector renderer has gained support for "global-state" expressions.

#MOTIS just got a lot faster! 🚀

With MOTIS 2.7.6 we introduced a new routing algorithm as an alternative to rRAPTOR which is on average ~2x faster.

In some examples on the #Transitous dataset, routing is even 10x faster 💥

API clients don't need to change anything. The responses are still the same - just faster 😀

The bar chart shows the speedup on the Great Britain dataset PONG=blue=new, rRAPTOR=red=old.

Here's an overview of the public transport data that goes into #Transitous via #GTFS, #GBFS and #OSM, and how you can help to extend this in your region: https://volkerkrause.eu/2025/06/14/transitous-adding-data.html

Any improvement there benefits applications like #GNOME Maps, #KDE Itinerary or #Träwelling.
