history
Project history and usage
spatialite-gui is the graphical desktop companion in the SpatiaLite ecosystem, providing an open source GUI for working with SQLite databases extended by SpatiaLite.
Project history
Gaia-SINS presents spatialite-gui as an open source graphical user interface supporting SpatiaLite, closely related to libspatialite, librasterlite2, and VirtualPG. The official page lists stable version 1.7.1 from 2013 and a 2.1.0 beta from 2020, while the Fossil timeline shows active GUI work such as WMS support, SQL filtering, MapView, and multi-threaded map painting.
Adoption history
The input package facts list spatialite-gui across Homebrew, Debian, Fedora, Nix, and Ubuntu, reflecting its role as a packaged desktop utility for GIS users who want SpatiaLite without living entirely inside a shell.
How it is used
Users run spatialite_gui to browse and edit SpatiaLite databases, execute SQL, inspect geometry-backed tables, and use GUI features that complement the command-line spatialite shell.
Why package nerds care
Package maintainers care about spatialite-gui because it sits at the awkward but important intersection of GIS libraries, SQLite extension loading, desktop GUI dependencies, and cross-platform packaging.
Timeline
- 2013: Stable version 1.7.1 was released on June 29.
- 2016: The Fossil timeline records GUI work including SQL filters and EXIF-GPS image-loading support.
- 2017: MapView and WMS support development appears in the Fossil timeline.
- 2020: Testing version 2.1.0-beta1 was released on August 24.
