CartoVox 0.7.4 corrects a release-blocking map redraw problem found before the previous installers were distributed. Physical relief and biome maps now retain their river networks when Atlas switches from the original drawing to 2x, 3x or 4x map detail.
Rivers survive high-detail redraws
- High-detail relief and biome maps now restore the persisted river network from the world's hydrology graph.
- River coordinates scale with the selected drawing density, keeping channels aligned with the terrain at 2x, 3x and 4x.
- Stream hierarchy and discharge information are retained so major rivers remain visually distinct.
- Existing riverless high-detail cache entries are invalidated automatically and rebuilt when opened.
- Hydrology-graph changes now invalidate the affected relief and biome drawings instead of leaving stale cached results.
Reliability fixes included
- Map inspection accepts the current packaged response format and is protected by a browser-to-desktop schema regression check.
- The Create setup guide displays loading and failure states, offers a retry action, and is exercised by the packaged-app smoke test.
- Existing worlds and simulation results remain unchanged; only derived display drawings are rebuilt as needed.
Compatibility and distribution
- Existing projects remain readable and are not re-simulated by this update.
- CartoVox remains local and limited to invited testers with an offline beta key. Worlds, maps, settings, reports, textures and author data remain on the tester's machine.
