Changelog (v2.178.0)
New
Base map setting for geospatial projects
You can now set a base map directly from the project settings. This map will appear in the labeling interface, improving context for annotators.
Note: While SDK-imported base map tiles are still supported, they will be deprecated soon.

Layering control in PDF interface
We've added layer control for bounding boxes — you can now use the right-click panel to bring overlapping boxes to the front or send them to the back, giving you more precise control when working with dense annotations.
Change
- [Geospatial - tiles loading] As image tiles load in the geospatial interface, a counter now shows the number of remaining tiles, giving better visibility into loading progress. Also, a progress bar now appears when loading a large number of annotations, providing better visibility into loading status.
- [Geospatial - scalability] Annotation drawing performance has been improved, resulting in a smoother experience.
- [SDK] Added a
workflowVersion
field tokili.projects
, allowing you to easily identify whether a project uses the 'V1' or 'V2' workflow.
Fix
- [Shortcuts] Cmd/Ctrl+Click now correctly opens links in a new tab.
- [Explore] Some performance issues were sometimes observed when loading assets in the Explore interface. That issue is fixed now.
- [SDK] The
kili.issues
function no longer returns issues linked to deleted assets, preventing related errors. - [Queue page] The "Last labeling date" now reliably reflects the actual last labeling activity.
- [Filters] Filters by step/status now automatically update as assets and labels are processed in Explore.
- [Complex queries] The SDK now prevents execution of overly complex queries that return excessively large result sets.
