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. ### Related projects - Officially related projects include libspatialite, librasterlite2, VirtualPG, and the wider Gaia-SINS project family. ### Sources - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Other Package-Manager Records - Debian apt - spatialite-gui - 2.1.0~beta1-3: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: spatialite-gui from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | user-friendly graphical user interface for SpatiaLite | https://www.gaia-gis.it/fossil/spatialite_gui/ - Nix - spatialite-gui: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/sp/spatialite-gui/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - spatialite-gui - 2.1.0~beta1-2build5: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: spatialite-gui from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | user-friendly graphical user interface for SpatiaLite | https://www.gaia-gis.it/fossil/spatialite_gui/ - dnf - spatialite-gui - 2.1.0-0.24.beta1.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: spatialite-gui from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/07190dc5ae9f35ae73866675fed6d95fe6e8d9fe22c9d7cdf85862cb2ed24a4c-primary.xml.zst | GUI to manage Spatialite databases | https://www.gaia-gis.it/fossil/spatialite_gui ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
