About this Release

Patch release with minor enhancements and fixes

Modules affected

Data Share, Installers, iShare Maps, Studio, Web Services

Pre-requisites

This release of iShare requires the following to be installed:

  • Windows Server 2012 R2, 2012, 2008 R2 or 2008
  • Internet Information Services (IIS) Versions 8.5, 8.0, 7.5 or 7.0
  • Microsoft .NET Framework V3.5 Service Pack 1 (installed and enabled)

iShare and its modules are installed using the iShare Installer. Any 3rd Party software required by iShare may be installed using the Astun 3rd Party Installer. The AstunPGInstaller will install any Astun scripts on your Data Share database depending upon the selected Install Options.

Installers

  • When installing iShare the Master Setting Query Against Domain should now be False by default. This should avoid authentication failures for local machine users when installing on non-domain servers.

Studio

  • iShare Studio users must be a member of the local iShareAdmin user group. This is a change to previous behaviour where Studio could still be run if the group did not exist.
  • MultiLineString geometries are now being properly recognised.
  • The "Invalid Geometry Type" error is no longer shown when creating a new layer until you switch to another layer or save the current one.
  • The Modify SQL for layers that use a simple query now displays a valid SQL query e.g. (SELECT * FROM schema.table).
  • Fixed resource usage problem sometimes encountered when using OGR 1.8 to query field names of PostgreSQL-based Classic Layers.
  • If no Layer Field is currently linked then, when selecting Add link to field for the first time after starting Studio, the Link using will be set to the current field. The Link using drop-down list now supports auto-complete and is sorted in alphabetical order to assist with finding the correct field.

Data Share

iShare Maps

  • When including utils.ashx URLs, use absolute URL rather than relative. This means that Embedded Maps such as a Lite Map should be able to be included in pages outside of the iShare application without having to make use of <base> element.

Web Services

  • Fix case where the iShareConfig web service would fail if the instance name was not explicitly defined.
