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 valuesCore
- Fixed a problem where an ampersand in the search text stopped the search working.
- OGC layer link URL fields no longer have to be included in the list of included fields to work.
- Missing layers will no longer cause single OGC requests for multiple layers to fail.
- Resolved an issue where
- sharing 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- across multiple MapSources which contain OGC layers would not work.
The OGR connection string is no longer present in Workflow notification failure emails.
- Fix for ZoomToPolygon being used with PostGIS layers. (On first failure, Mapserver will be called again with more suitable parameters.)
- OGC layers can now work with Mapserver 6.4 and above. (However, Mapserver 6.0 is still our officially supported version.)
OGC thematic layers now use the correct styling for the ranges.
Printing now uses filter(s) set for OGC layers on the map.
OGC layers My Nearest now will return the correct nearest points.
Map warning/error popups will now display the correct text.
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
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

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.
Missing layers will no longer cause getows calls for multiple layers to fail
The ogr string is no longer present in workflow notification failure emails.
Popups will now display the correct text
Resolved the issue where a task would not appear in the list if it's name was a subset of another tasks name
MapGetImage.aspx SearchLayer image requests would incorrectly fail if the Web/MaxCalls setting was set to a value lower than 3.
Stopped the getows calls failing if one of the layers doesn't exist
...
Semi-selected Layer Group now uses browser's native "indeterminate" state for check box, if available.
