Technical Benefits

iShare Studio

• Fixed a bug where the xml file extension would appear in the MapName node of the iShareMaps.xml when a new mapsource is added via copy mapsource. Also reverted the displayname functionality so that displayname is of the format folder/mapsourcename
• Allow users to continue working with studio when the log has been opened in notepad.
• Removed the exception messages from the workflow notifications and updated the notification with the support portal address
• Custom output should now be displayed correctly for each layer

iShare Maps

• Updated the WMTS implementation to ensure that the don't automatically provide the TileMatrixSet so OL uses the one directly provided by the source. Also ensured that we correctly set the number of scales if a WMTS layer uses a subset of the TileMatrixSet
• Updated the WMTS layer to include attribution
• Added code to use the matrices from the capabilities document if the ones specified in the mapsource don't exist. Also added code to ensure that each WMTS TileMatrixSet has a BoundingBox element, and if not, attempt to add one

My House / My Nearest

• Reinstate functionality so that the atTxtStreet parameter can be used.

iShare GIS
