About This Release

This release of iShare is a patch release with the following fixes and minor enhancements:

3rd Party Installer

  • Changed to use Heartbleed-patched version of PostgreSQL.
  • FWTools has been removed. It was little used and was causing problems by setting environment variables.

 

iShare Core

  • 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 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 Organisations field from the "company" table was omitted in error from the Compass Address lookup.

iShare Maps

  • Fix issue with being unable to clear Show My/Find Nearest search results from the map.
  • Fix problem with Firefox not hiding legend image for non-visible layers.

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

  • MapGetImage.aspx SearchLayer image requests would incorrectly fail if the Web/MaxCalls setting was set to a value lower than 3.

  • Semi-selected Layer Group now uses browser's native "indeterminate" state for check box, if available.

  • The map now honours StartUp Position setting in a MapSource when loading the map for the first time.

  • The *Reset* button should now use a relative URL so that it doesn't fail where the web server thinks the host is different to the one be used by the browser.

My House

  • The "Find" text of the address search button is now correctly set according to the language file being used in My House.
  • Fix for My Nearest tabs not listing LayerGroup panels in the order set in the MapSource when My House is configured to use more than one column.

iShare GIS

  • Fix for when Databrowser height wasn't being overridden when map height was altered.
  • Databrowser resizing no longer pins the databrowser.

  • Fixed a memory leak with the Map Categories panel.

  • Fix for issue caused by IE8 caching image dimensions.
  • The CSV and Excel export now works when there are multiple tables supplied.
  • OGC Thematic layers now use the correct styling for the ranges.

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

  • The address search loading icon is no longer covered by the Go button.
  • The Find Nearest results are now cleared when you click on the Reset Layers button.
  • The green location arrows are now removed when the layers are reset.

  • The Layer Catalogue is now cleaning up after itself properly.

  • The Layer Catalogue no longer slows down after pressing the Reset Layers button.
  • Speed improvements in iShareGIS user interface (Removed duplication of code calls and web requests, introduced caching of legend images and changed panel so it loads legends after layers.)

  • Using Find Nearest on OGC layers with filters now returns only points that match the filter.

  • When used in an AD FS environment, the user group claims were appended to the "user@domain" string used in the iShareGIS front-end.
  • iShare GIS, SoloMaps and LiteMaps as well as independent use of iShare Web Services should now use the workspace specified in the Application Pool name.
  • Improved logging for AD FS.
  • Fix issue with AD FS where an error response was generated if nothing found in the Identity's Name attribute.

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

Studio

  • 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.)
  • Corrected "Depends on previous job" to "Depends on previous task" in Task list for Workflow Job.

  • 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 MapSource doesn't already exist when the user tries to import a new one.

  • OGC and Thematic layers now save the Find Nearest information correctly.
  • Reduced the scope for Workflow to wipe Stored Procedure argument values.
  • Resolved an issue where Studio would raise an exception about invalid characters in a map file.
  • Some Astun SQL functions were not communicating errors to Workflow so it would assume that they had worked successfully.
  • Studio Workflow now tries to work out which one of stored procedures with the same name but different parameters 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 Startup values correctly in the event that they are set to zero.
  • Studio will now no longer raise an exception when you try to create a scheduled task, but asks if you have permissions to the tasks directory.
  • Create New Mapsource functionality error messages have been improved, and the save dialog is now more intelligent on where it first opens.

  • Import Existing Mapsource functionality and error messages have been improved, and the open dialog now opens in the correct directory.

  • OGC layer link field names are no longer being truncated.

  • OGC thematic point colour will now load correctly.

  • SLD Editor will now accept symbolizers tags that start with "ogc:".

  • List of Available Fields will now stay in the correct order after changing them and saving the layer.

  • Geometry column is no longer forgotten by the OGC layer after it is saved.

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

  • The list of functions in a Stored Procedure task will now be updated correctly if you switch Data Sources.

  • MapSource will no longer become corrupted after moving a layer up or down and then saving.

  • The Port field for the Workflow database connection is now restricted to allow only valid values. Also the Stored Procedure Workflow task will now show a friendly error if it cannot connect to the database.

  • The Stored Procedure parameter edit text box is no longer partially covered by the comments box.

  • Better matching of Workflow parameter values (again).
  • Studio will now retry refreshing the external server using the user's credentials if the external server requires authentication.

  • Resolved the issue where a Workflow Task would not appear in the list if its name was a contained within another tasks name.


Web Services

  • iShare can now be configured so that the Web application will automatically reload configuration settings from WebService.
  • Fix problem where, in situations where the same layer name 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.

 

  • No labels
