Release Notes 4.11
What’s New
Performance Improvements
map.apps 4.11 provides significant optimizations regarding a better performance. The display of the map and the initial start of an app are accelerated considerably. In addition, the visual performance perceived by the user is positively influenced by smooth, continuous transitions. Furthermore, database connections are optimized, requests are reduced and transferred files are compressed better.
For an even faster app launch, there is now a mode for pre-optimizing an app, which can be activated per app. This feature is still in beta in this release.
Legend in map content control (TOC).
The map content control can now additionally display the legend for individual layers.
By default, the display is disabled to ensure backwards compatibility.
It can be enabled with the showLayerLegend property.
Further new functions and improvements
-
The ArcGIS API for JavaScript used by map.apps as technical basis is updated to version 4.18 with this release. This leads to numerous improvements and bug fixes in the base technology.
-
The time until a user is logged out in case of inactivity can now be configured via a global setting.
A complete list of all changes can be found in changelog.
Update Notes
Separate rollout of line 3 bundles
If map.apps line 3 bundles are needed, they have to be installed as separate bundles from now on.
Database Model for Pre-optimized Apps
Changes need to be made to the database schema to support pre-optimized apps.
Two changes are necessary:
-
The column
PREOPTIMIZEDhas to be added on tableAPPS. -
The table
APPS_ASSETShas to be created and indexed.
The update can be done either automatically or manually. In either way, the database user has to have permissions to create/alter tables and to add an index. After the update the permissions can be revoked again.
Automatic Update
Make sure, that the property db.hibernate.schemaUpdate=update in the appropriate config file is set.
If you have not set or changed this setting so far, you do not need to make any changes.
Restart map.apps to apply the update automatically.
Password for the map.apps administrator
From now on map.apps is shipped without a preconfigured default password for the administrator user. Thus, if not already done in a previous installation, the password must be set.
Updated default app
The templates for the so-called default app is updated.
If you have not made any customizations, remove the files default-app-4.zip from the working directory.
The path to this directory is defined using the parameter data.directory.location in the file %TOMCAT%\webapps\mapapps\WEB-INF\classes\custom-application.properties.
At the first start, the new templates are copied there.
Discontinued Features
The following features are discontinued with this release:
-
Support for Internet Explorer 11 (and Microsoft Edge Legacy) is discontinued as of this version. This affects all apps of line 4 as well as the map.apps manager and the app overview.
-
The bundles of line 3 are no longer installed by default. They are still delivered in the rollout directory and can be uploaded via the map.apps Manager.
