Release Notes 2.1

What’s New

This release contains a number of functional innovations as well as updates to the basic technology.

With release 2.1 map.apps 4.12 is supported. This applies to both the smart.finder bundles and the bundles of the map.apps Smart Search Extension.

Support Apache Solr 8.10

map.apps Smart Search Extension product documentation

The documentation of the map.apps Smart Search Extension is now available in a separate section.

Search results based on user roles

It is now possible to limit search results based on the roles of the logged in user. By configuration, filters can be defined per core for each role/permission, which limit the search results with regard to

  1. documents found and

  2. displayed fields of a document

of a document.

Search in current area

If your new search is executed or the position of the map is changed after a successful search, the tool Search in this area is displayed under the Omnisearch. When you click on this tool, the search is restricted to the current spatial map section, so that only search results are displayed that are wholly or partially located in the current area.

A complete list of all changes can be found in the Changelog.

Discontinued support

None.

Deprecated features

For the following features the further development will be stopped and the end of support for the future announced:

  • Tomcat 8.5 — Running the upcoming minor version of smart.finder (2.2) with Tomcat 8.5 will not be supported. We recommend upgrading to Tomcat 9.0.
