What's New 2.5

2.5.28.11, 2.5.29.7, 2.5.30.4

Released 28 November 2019

Fixes

• Street View panel fix

  • Resolved an issue with moving in the street view panel bouncing back at certain locations which was stopping users from being able to move forward in the street view panel.

2.5.30.3

Released 20 November 2019

Fixes

• List-box/combo-box field issue

  • Some field functionality in 2.5.30 changed the way list-box and combo-boxes worked by default, this update fixes the fields so they work more like they did before 2.5.30.

2.5.30.2

Released 13 November 2019

Fixes

• ToC model parsing issue

  • When generating an id for a toc model group entry that does not have an id set the generation of the id required a map engine to be know which may not always be the case, this would result in the toc model not being available. This update resolves the requirement to have a mapengine specified and will generate the id without one.

2.5.30.1

Released 12 November 2019

Fixes

• Data grid filter fixes

  • Exporting data from the data grid when using a filter would not always work

  • Filtering on a string column was not performing a wildcard search  by default

Enhancements

• GDA2020

  • Added more support for working with GDA2020

• Grid Export

  • The export will only export the selected records if there are any records selected, otherwise, it will export all rows (as it did before)

  • Work has been done to improve the consistency and availability of filters for all data definition types

• Listbox Fields

  • If a list-box field is marked as required and only has a single value in the list, the value will be pre-selected and the drop-down trigger button is hidden

  • Parameters without allowNewValues set to true will now default to list-boxes, rather than combo-boxes, which changes the functionality of the field, add allowNewValues='true' to any parameters that need to be combo-boxes.

• GeoJSON Content-Type

  • REST API now supports the mime type of application/vnd.geo+json for GeoJSON, as well as application/json

• Enhanced Spatial Filtering

  • ECQL, rather than just CQL, is available in more places throughout the configuration of spatial queries, allowing for more options when creating spatial filters, including in spatial data definitions

• Redline

  • A line with arrowheads that had zero-length would cause problems

• Non-spatial Editing

  • Some fixes to stop the editing state from getting out of sync with the edit input panel

• Indexing

  • A data source with an unsupported CRS would stop the index from being built (it still won't build, but now you'll know why)

  • Index building was processing every 1000th record twice

• Config Processing

  • A minor fix has been applied to the config file reader to help resolve issues with lists that have items that include and don't include the namespace, e.g. <ns:test><a><ns:a></ns:test> should treat <a> and <ns:a> as the same but it wasn't

2.5.29.4

Released 10 September 2019

Fixes

2.5.27.13

2.5.28.9

2.5.29.3

Released 9 September 2019

Fixes

• Spatial editing fix

  • Creating records within Weave in a ESRI GeoDatabase enabled database can stop users being able to create records in ArcMap.

  • Applying this fix could also stop Weave from creating new records too, since it now creates records in the same way as ArcMap, copying the table to a new table and renaming the old and new tables to replace the corrupt one will fix the issue.

  • This fix currently only supports SQL Server and is only required if your database has been enabled for GeoDatabase use.

• Spatial edit import update

  • Importing geometry is no longer as strict if the number of geometries in the entity to import doesn't match the restrictions configured in the edit, it will now import as much of the geometry as it can to meet the requirements, e.g. an edit config that says it only supports a single polygon will only import the first polygon if a multi-polygon entity is the source of the import.

• Spatial editing configuration validation update

  • The configuration for spatial edits is now more rigorously checked when the configuration is processed, rather than waiting until an edit is submitted to find problems.

• Spatial editing processing update

• Index build update

  • If an index content does not exist when it's created then the index will be built, including at Weave startup.

• ToC metadata update

  • The ToC metadata context menu item is now more flexible in how it can generate the URL used to open the metadata, providing access to more variables when constructing the URL.
