Release Notes 2.5.25

Weave 2.5.25 includes a number of bug fixes and enhancements.

This release is mostly focused on enhancements and corrections to some of Weave’s most recent tools. The enhancements expand on the functions provided by these tools and also increase the flexibility and usability of some of Weave’s standard tools.

A full list of changes can be found at the Weave What's New page. 


(thumbs up) Main enhancements are:

  • Anonymous user local storage

In response to a number of user requests an important change has been made in the way stored items such as Redlines and Bookmarks are persisted for an anonymous user. These items are now stored in the browser for anonymous users, allowing them to save those items across a browser restart (in supported browsers, i.e. those that support JavaScripts localStorage API).


  • Editing Extension

A number of improvements have also been made to the Weave Editing extension. This enables the Weave client to be used for editing operations that would normally have been undertaken in other systems. This is beneficial as editors are also generally Weave users, and they can now edit in an environment in which they are already familiar and comfortable. Allowing users to edit in the Weave client simplifies editing operations for users who could be daunted when faced with the complexity of a Desktop GIS software for what can be a simple editing task (e.g. move a point, update an attribute, etc.). 

  • Spatial upload enhancement

When a layer is added to the ToC via the Upload Data tool, you can now zoom to this layer using the Context Menu "Zoom to layer" item.
