Release Notes 4.16
What’s New
Last release with Tomcat 9 support
This release primarily provides updates in base technologies and third party libraries as well as bug fixes. It is the last release with Tomcat 9 support. Support for Tomcat 10 will be introduced shortly with map.apps 4.17. Details are described in this article: Tomcat 10 and Java 21 support in con terra Technologies products
Accessibility
As part of our ongoing efforts to make applications as accessible as possible, the following improvements are introduced in this release:
-
Windows can now be better controlled and moved by keyboard. The focus is clearer and the focus order has been optimized. Window buttons also have more descriptive labels so that the user knows what they are doing.
-
Screen reader support for the measurement function has been improved. Measurement results are now read out.
-
The focus of the keyboard control has been improved in the map content control (TOC), in lists, buttons, checkboxes and other interface elements.
-
The contrast in the context menu of the map content control (TOC) has been improved.
Further new functions and improvements
-
The ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript used by map.apps as technical basis is updated to version 4.28 with this release. This results in numerous improvements and bug fixes to the base technology. Among other things, Esri has introduced performance improvements in environments without GPU support (see 2D performance in non-GPU environments ).
Update Notes
If you skip several versions during the update, please also follow all update notes of the intervening versions. |
CSV export from the (old) Result Center
Only the "old" Result Center (bundle resultcenter
) is affected by the changes described here.
When using the new Result Center introduced with map.apps 4.14 (bundles result-ui
and result-api
), nothing needs to be considered.
The order of the columns in a CSV export now corresponds to the order of the fields in the underlying store metadata.
Previously, this was not always the case, so that after updating to this version, the order may be different than before.
In addition, the default value of the detectExtraFields
property has been changed from true
to false
.
This can lead to fewer columns appearing in the export than before without further adjustment.
If additional fields are detected, they are appended to the end of the fields from the store metadata.
Discontinued Features
The following features are discontinued with this release:
-
With the
MAPAPPS-6912
bugfix, map.apps no longer tries to resolve missing version information on bundles listed in theappservice.default.bundles
configuration option. The default value of theappservice.default.bundles
configuration option has been changed fromsystem, templatelayout
to the empty string ``. -
Due to the migration of ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript popups to the Calcite Design System, the configuration property
maxInlineActions
is no longer supported and therefore has no effect in map.apps. It is now calculated automatically how many of the actions are displayed directly and how many are summarized in a "… more" menu.
Deprecated Features
The following are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Also note the additional information in the system requirements.
-
map.apps Manager and app configuration:
-
Live configuration is no longer being developed and will be removed in an upcoming release. Instead, use the app-editor to configure apps. You can already hide the live configuration for your users by setting the configuration option
manager.config.editor.showLiveConfigButton
tofalse
. -
App and app template synchronization has been deprecated since version 4.8 and will be removed in version 4.15. Use domain-bundles instead.
-
The
allowedWorkflows:["create"]
configuration option in theediting
bundle will be removed soon. UseallowedWorkflows:["create-features"]
instead.
-
-
Bundles:
-
The
omnisearch
bundle is no longer developed. Use thesearch-ui
bundle instead. -
The
resultcenter
andselection-resultcenter
bundles are no longer developed. Use theresult-ui
bundle instead.
-
-
Development:
-
Support for
module.exports
in JavaScript files will be removed soon. Use the ECMAScript keywordsexport
orexport default
instead. -
To simplify a future migration from AMD to another module system, JavaScript files should be written as ECMAScript modules only, if possible, and then transpiled.
-
Support for
cancel
in return values of store queries (QueryResult) will be removed soon. The goal is to simplify thestore-api.Store
interface. Please use a AbortController , described in Usage of an AsyncStore to cancel pending queries.const aborter = new AbortController(); store.query({name: "Test"}, { signal: aborter.signal }) .then((resultItems)=>{ ... }, (e)=>{ if (e.name === "AbortError"){ // aborted } }) // trigger abort aborter.abort();
-
The class
ct/mapping/store/MapServerLayerStore
is replaced by a new classLayerStore
in the agssearch bundle. TheLayerStore
class is stored with an ArcGIS FeatureLayer instance and is therefore consistent with the map content. The agssearch bundle now createsLayerStore
instances by default in theAGSStoreFactory
class and theAutoStoreRegistration
andAGSStore
configuration options. The old behavior can be restored during the transition phase with thelegacyImplementation
option. -
The use of
data-template-window
anddata-template-window-events
in template files will not be supported in the future. Instead, make window definitions inmanifest.json
files. -
The following classes will be removed in one of the next releases:
