Bookmark improvements when switching projections
The bookmarks are smarter about reprojecting redlines and extents when a bookmark is saved in one projection but loaded on a client in another projection.
User attributes in client config
It’s now possible to reference users attributes in a client config to customise a client for individual users
For example: <initial minx=”${user.extent.initial.minx}” miny=”${user.extent.initial.miny}” maxx=”${user.extent.initial.maxx}” maxy=”${user.extent.initial.maxy}” crs=”${user.extent.initial.crs}”/>
You need to create and configure user attributes separately, the example above will not work out of the box

Redline coordinate entry
Fixed typo in help text
Redline shapefile/kml export

PRJ file handling
Updates have been made to handle differences between OGC and ESRI PRJ files when uploading spatial data.
Redline fix
Redlines created before 2.6.5 and 2.6.4.8 did not record the projection of the stored coordinates which could cause issues if a client config changes the map projection or if a bookmark/redline created in a client with one map projection was opened in a client with a different map projection. This update a) includes the crs in any new redlines, and b) provides a “redline setcrs <crs>” osgi command to add the projection information to existing redlines.
