Release highlights

• Vector Tile Layer Support: The plugin now supports Vector Tile layers, expanding its functionality and versatility.
• Map Layers: A significant overhaul of the layer configuration has been implemented. Previously known as "Tile Layers", it is now rebranded as "Map Layers". This change allows for a more consistent configuration of various map layer types.
• 3D Geometry Support: The plugin now supports a third dimension for geometries in the database. This feature ensures the preservation of the z-coordinate value during issue editing.
• API Endpoints Update: The API endpoints have been updated to enhance the plugin's compatibility.
• GTT Plugin Settings Improvement: The GTT plugin settings have been refined for better user experience and functionality.
• Bug Fixes and Improvements: Various bugs have been addressed and several other improvements have been made to enhance the overall performance of the plugin.

Breaking changes

• Transition from Tile Layers to Map Layers: The "Tile Layers" feature has been replaced with "Map Layers". This change allows for a more consistent and versatile configuration of various map layer types. Please note that there is no automatic migration from existing tile layers to map layers. Users will need to manually visit the layer configuration and adjust the settings accordingly.
• Material Design Icons: There are multiple options for MDI font packages and this release switches to the one used by SMASH to provide a consistent icon set. A manual check of the tracker icons will be necessary.
• End of Support for Redmine 4.2: Official support for Redmine 4.2 has been discontinued. The plugin now requires Redmine 5.x, PostGIS 3.x, and PostgreSQL 12 or higher.

We invite the community to try out the new features and improvements. Your feedback and contributions are invaluable to us. Please feel free to use, test, and contribute to the development of this plugin.
