  • Internet Information Services (IIS) V7.0 or 7.5
  • 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.

Studio

  • Studio now sets the correct values e.g. BaseMap type, in the tilecache config file.
  • Studio no longer crashes when it tries to display an error message before Studio is visible.
  • The Map Editor no longer errors if it cannot parse any elements in the map file.
  • Setting the Virtual Layer's Custom Output Results Display to Default now saves the setting correctly.
  • The browse buttons on the My House tree node in Studio are now visible again and correctly allow you to select files in subdirectories.

  • Disabled the Run Workflow context menu item for DataShare tasks.

Data Share

  • XML Data Sources which redirect on themselves should no longer fail with a "Too many automatic redirections" error.

iShare Core

  • All example code has now been moved into an examples folder under the web folder. These may then be copied and moved to the relevant root folder. There are a couple of lines at the top of each script, in case they are left in the examples folder, which will need to be removed if the examples are moved to the root folder.
<!-- This script is only needed for the examples as they site in a subdirectory structure -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/basehrefresolver.js"></script>

    • Fixed various iShare styling issues.
  • iShare Solo - the "Show more results" address list now closes when you select an address.
  • The Map Categories panel now stays open when the user opens it, and stays closed when the user closes it.
  • Clicking the Show/Hide Side Panel button when the page is loading no longer results in iShare crashing.
  • Fix issue where Java Script (mainly in My Maps) wasn't setting the cookie to the same location as the application on the web server, meaning settings, primarily the current address, could be out of sync.
  • Fixed issue preventing map layer panel loading in Safari 9.

My House / My Nearest

  • The Custom Output fields now handle colons (:) correctly.
  • My House links which specify a group to show will now show that group the first time round, rather than having to click a second time.

  • Removed the <% Page CompilationMode="never" %> from the Welcome panel.
