Changelog
Everything that's changed
A running history of what we've shipped — from the latest release back through the milestones that got us here.
2026
v4.0
- Same MangoMap, new engine. The whole platform is rebuilt from the ground up on a fully serverless architecture — no servers to provision, no capacity ceilings to hit.
- A PostGIS spatial database and a WebGL vector-tile rendering engine replace the old stack: sharper cartography at every zoom, smooth pan and zoom on large datasets, and edits that land the instant you make them.
- Maps served from the nearest edge location worldwide, private by default, with composable public, portal, and search access controls.
- Every tool rebuilt on the new foundation — style builder, popup editor, spatial analysis, and the data-import pipeline.
- The runway, not the finish line: the platform re-founded so new capabilities can ship at pace again.
2018
v3.0
- MangoMap grows into a full self-service platform, with a ground-up rebuild of the admin experience:
- New admin console with redesigned map editor
- Custom domains with HTTPS support
- Multi-user support
- Group-based access permissions
- Proximity analysis tool
- Improved mobile support
- Retired the v2 embed widget
2013
v2.0
- The turning point: years of building bespoke maps by hand become a product. MangoMap launches as a simple, self-service online GIS and web-mapping tool for creating interactive maps — no code, no servers.
- Multi-layer maps with drag-and-drop ordering
- Shapefile and KML upload
- Password-protected map sharing
2011
v1.0
- The bespoke practice hardens into a repeatable service — map design and managed data hosting offered to clients beyond the original development work.
- Hosted, always-online maps clients could point their audiences to, without running any infrastructure of their own.
2008
v0.1
- MangoMap began as a mapping practice, building bespoke web maps and hosting spatial data for international development organisations across Southeast Asia. That work taught us the lesson the product is built on: a map is only useful if the people who need it can actually open it.
- We delivered turnkey web mapping for donor-funded programmes (USAID, WFP) on the open-source GIS stack of the day, MapServer and Ka-Map.
- The Cambodia Atlas, funded by DANIDA, brought scattered government datasets into one online interface. It was ambitious for its time, and it is a direct ancestor of the map applications MangoMap would later productise for everyone else.
