The QGIS project has released version 3.38, introducing improved support for CityGML 3.0 and native integration with OpenStreetMap building footprints. The update is expected to benefit UK local authority planning teams using open source GIS stacks, with Ordnance Survey confirming compatibility with its OS NGD API. Several London boroughs piloting the release have reported significant reductions in proprietary software licensing costs.
