Technical Benefits

iShare Studio

  • Fix for situation where Studio would be unable to write out temporary files using when previewing SLD styles.

  • Fix Workflow prematurely saving changes when unscheduled Jobs are renamed.
  • Fixed no longer preserving case in Spatial Data Transformation Tasks that load data into a database, also added option to disable this in case it's not desired e.g.:

  • Spatial Data Transformation Tasks in Workflow no longer Skip Failures by default. Tasks without this option set will complete more quickly, but fail when encountering problems rather than trying to finish.
  • Workflow Spatial Data Transformation Tasks that copy from a database will now fail if no Source table is supplied, this is to prevent the case where this could lead to copying all tables from the Source database.
  • Data Share will now alert the user when a Data Source fails to synchronise due to an error.
  • Resolve issue where importing data containing boolean values didn't match the values from the same columns imported using v5.8 due to changes in database drivers.
  • Fix problem where Studio might not list Layers in a migrated map file.
  • Fix for situations where Studio wouldn't load Map Sources if they didn't have a version.
  • Fixed the incorrect URL to Astun Online in the Help menu.

iShare Core

iShare Maps

My House / My Nearest

iShare GIS

  • Print requests should now correctly update when a filter is applied to a Layer.

Web Services

  • Printing will no longer fail if location marker coordinates aren't whole numbers.
  • Improved mapping webservice handling for situation where .NET clears an internal cache while in use.
