 - Multiple user support, with different privileges (i.e. read-only, read-write)

 - Automatically generated, hierarchical layer order in the QGIS Layers Panel
 - Server-side and client-side interactive selection of the Area Of Interest (AOI) extents to load in QGIS, in order to tackle with possibly very large datasets
 - Smart layer management: layers are generated only for existing data, only layers with data within the AOI extents can be selected
 - Support for CityGML enumerations and codelists
 - All layer geometries are 3D: they can be visualised both in 2D and in 3D (Please be aware that 3D visualisation in QGIS 3D map is still a bit unstable...).

 # Requirements
 
-The plugin has been developed using [QGIS](https://www.qgis.org/nl/site/forusers/download.html) 3.22 LTR and works best with it. Our tests so far show that it works with any QGIS version >= 3.22, including the recently released version 3.28. Please note that support and further development will focus only on LTR versions.

 # Future
 
 Besides further testing and debugging, there are a number of improvements that we are thinking of, such as:
-- Overall GUI improvements, e.g. with better support for nested tables (External References, Addresses, etc.) and Codelists
 - Support for appearances (at least for X3D Materials, if possible)
 - Support of ADEs (e.g. the Energy ADE, to start with) (Currently being investigated in an on-going [MSc Geomatics thesis at TU Delft](https://3d.bk.tudelft.nl/education/#theses))
 - Testing and initial support for the 3DCityDB v. 5.0 (and therefore CityGML 3.0)
