This is QMapShack forked from https://github.com/Maproom/qmapshack for building a Microsoft Windows version.

This release tries to stay in-sync with the original repo. There is one change in the source files to enable support of MBTiles, ECW and some other types of maps (via VRT files!). Support of MBTiles, ECW, ... also requires that the environment variable GDAL_DRIVER_PATH is set to the <installdir>\gdalplugins directory. For a portable application installation this can be achieved by calling QMS_Start.bat.

Current upstream release - QMapShack version: 1.17.0

If you want to build it yourself, please read https://github.com/Maproom/qmapshack/wiki/BuildWindowsGisinternals

The package is a preliminary single-user test version. Please, report any issues to https://github.com/Maproom/qmapshack/issues.

From OpenSSL legalities:

Please remember that export/import and/or use of strong cryptography software, providing cryptography hooks, or even just communicating technical details about cryptography software is illegal in some parts of the world. So when you import this package to your country, re-distribute it from there or even just email technical suggestions or even source patches to the authors or other people you are strongly advised to pay close attention to any laws or regulations which apply to you. The authors of OpenSSL are not liable for any violations you make here. So be careful, it is your responsibility.

If you are potentially subject to such restrictions, you should seek legal advice before attempting to use the software with cryptographic code.
