Enhancements

FWTools has been removed from the 3rd Party installer. Is little used and was causing problems by setting environment variables.

iShare GIS

Adding layers from Layer Catalogue or via other plugins should not now result in 'loading' image not being replaced by legend graphic.

When used in an ADFS environment, the user group claims were appended to the "user@domain" string used in the iShareGIS front-end.

Studio

Fixed an issue where Studio would report a "502 Bad gateway" error while trying to contact mapserver

Fixed an issue where Map Editor would raise an error if a path was wrapped in apostrophes rather than quotes

Fixed the check to make sure that a Map Source doesn't already exist when the user tries to import a new one

Reduced the scope for Studio Workflow to wipe stored procedure argument values.

Resolved an issue where Studio would raise an exception about invalid characters in a map file

Studio Workflow now tries to work out which one of identically named stored procedures is to be used.

Studio now calls atversion.aspx successfully when the external site requires authentication

Studio now no longer truncates map file layer names with spaces or special characters in them

Studio now saves the startup values correctly when they are set to zero.

Studio will now no longer raise an exception when you try to create a scheduled task, but ask if you have permissions to the tasks directory

Studio will now retry refreshing the external server using the user's credentials if the external server requires authentication

The SLD editor will now accept symbolizers tags that start with "ogc:"

The mapsource will no longer become corrupted after moving a layer up or down and then saving

The stored procedure parameter edit text box is no longer partially covered by the comments box

An Internal DataSource could not be created without using the "Construct" dialog. An Internal DataSource must be given a name but previously the Name field was disabled until after using the Construct dialog. The name field is now always enabled.

OGC

OGC and thematic layers now save the Find Nearest information correctly

OGC layer link URL fields no longer have to be included in the list of included fields to work

OGC layers My Nearest now will return the correct nearest points

OGC layers now work with Mapserver 6.4 and above

OGC thematic layers now use the correct styling for the ranges

Printing now uses filter(s) set for OGC layers on the map.

Resolved an issue where OGC layers would occasionally be rendered as either red dots or red polygons depending on the layer type. There appears to be a bug in Mapserver 6.2.0 which stops this working so we advise avoiding that version.

The OGC layer link field names are no longer being truncated

The OGC thematic point colour will now load correctly

The link this field in OGC layers will no longer be empty when it should be populated

 Resolved an issue where sharing a map file across multiple map sources which contain OGC layers would not work

Using find nearest on OGC layers with filters now returns only points that match the filter

If the _MapSource_ parameter for the page is the name of a *MyMaps* *MapSource* then the *MyMaps* tab is used.

In situations where the same {{layerName}} had somehow been configured for more than one layer, each of those layers was written into the generated .map file a number of times equal to the number of duplicate layer names.
