GeoLibre 1.0 released with full‑stack geospatial toolkit

GeoLibre 1.0 launches as an open‑source geospatial library aimed at engineers building mapping or location‑based services. The library is released under a permissive MIT‑style license, allowing free use, modification and redistribution.\n\n## What shipped\n\n- Support for common vector formats – GeoJSON, Shapefile and WKT [GeoLibre]\n- R‑tree spatial indexing for fast nearest‑neighbor queries [GeoLibre]\n- Core geometry operations: buffer, union, intersection and more [GeoLibre]\n- Python and JavaScript bindings that expose the native C++ engine [GeoLibre]\n- Comprehensive documentation and example projects that walk users through loading data, building indexes and performing spatial joins [GeoLibre]\n- MIT‑style permissive license for unrestricted commercial and community use [GeoLibre]\n\n## Why it matters\n\nBy providing a ready‑to‑use toolkit, GeoLibre lets teams skip custom data‑processing code and focus on application logic. Its open‑source model invites contributions; over 20 developers have already added features such as coordinate transformation and raster handling. The 1.0 release is the first stable version, and the project roadmap lists upcoming support for 3‑D geometries and direct PostGIS integration.\n\nThe library, its source code and binaries are available for download at https://geolibre.app/ ↗ [GeoLibre].
