      • Allows you to change the layer name on the proviso that it is unique to the Map Source and that it may affect the ability of external systems to be able to query it until they are updated.
      • Uses some sensible defaults e.g. Unique field should never be wkb_geometry.

    • Studio will now show an error message if the current user doesn't have the correct permissions to create a temporary map file for the map viewer, rather than raising an unhandled exception.
  • Map Editor:
    • Old Map Editor cache files will be invalidated when used with a newer version of the editor.
    • GEOMTRANSFORM is now recognised as a valid element in the Map Editor.
