Now Available: Geocortex Essentials 3.15, Viewer for HTML5 1.3 and Viewer for Silverlight 1.10
Latitude Geographics is pleased to announce the general availability of Geocortex Essentials 3.15 , the Geocortex Viewer for HTML5 1.3 and the Geocortex Viewer for Silverlight 1.10 . These releases include significant amount of development, resulting in many new features and fixes. Some new features require the latest version of Geocortex Essentials as well as the latest version of the viewers, therefore we are releasing all of these new product versions together. Below is a short list of the key additions included in these releases.
Geocortex Essentials 3.15Key additions:
- Compatible with ArcGIS Server 10.2.
- Comprehensive Support for Coded Value Domains. A new feature called the Services Enhancement Proxy can be used to improve and standardize the handling of feature data with coded value domain fields, among other things.
- Standardized Presentation of date/time Data. The Services Enhancement Proxy is also used to standardize the presentation of date/time data.
- Access ArcGIS Online secure content. Public ArcGIS Online content has been supported since Essentials 3.12. With this release, administrators can now create sites and applications that contain secured content from ArcGIS Online.
- Feature Clustering. Flare Cluster Symbols on Feature Layers with colour and threshold control.
- Heat Maps. Heat Map symbolization on Feature Layers with colour gradient control.
Key additions:
- Toolbar. Added a highly configurable toolbar component. Supports desktop, tablet, and mobile with shared or individual configurations.
- Legend. Added a legend for ArcGIS Dynamic Map Service layers, Feature Services, and basic WMS services. Functions in offline mode when working with Feature Services.
- Home Panel. Added support for a configurable Home panel.
- Printing Interface. Added an interface for printing.
- Sorting and Paging. Added sorting and paging to results in table views.
- Editing Enhancements. Resolved a number of issues around On Demand feature layers. Improved validation and enhanced support for types, sub-types, and coded domain values.
Key additions:
- Automatic Resolution of Coded Value Domains and Subtypes . When attribute values are displayed, the coded value description is now shown instead of the code stored in the geodatabase for fields with coded value domains or subtypes.
- Support for Heat Maps and Feature Clustering . Configure heat maps and clustering properties on layers in Geocortex Essentials 3.15.
- Support for Protected ArcGIS Online Content. The Geocortex Viewer for Silverlight now allows users to provide their ArcGIS Online named user account in order to access protected ArcGIS Online web maps and map services.
- Richer Support for Editing and Resymbolizing Existing Markup. Once markup is added to the map, users can now resymbolize that markup.
This is just a selection of new features in these new versions. Combined, these releases also include over 200 bug fixes and UI improvements. Please consult the release notes of each product for more detailed information.
This version of the Essentials API and the HTML5 Framework is compatible with version 1.2.1 of the HTML5 SDK. The TypeScript version of the API docs are forthcoming and will be published seperately. The documentation for these APIs can be found in the SamplesViewer of the 1.2.1 release package.
Installers, release notes and supporting documentation can be downloaded by licensees with an active maintenance agreement from the (http://support.geocortex.com/downloads) Geocortex Support Center .

When will there be a quickstart and/or silverlight client api available for the 1.10 viewer?

Hello Ken,
The Quickstart should be up in the next couple of days. That will include the Silverlight client API, which is also bundled with the 1.10 Silverlight Viewer download package currently available.

We have identified some issues with the Geocortex Viewer for HTML5 version 1.3 , and want to make users aware before they decide to proceed with an immediate upgrade. We are working on fixes for these issues and will be releasing a 1.3.1 in the next week or two.
While not an extensive list, here are some issues that we feel will have an impact on customers deciding to upgrade immediately, all of which we are actively working on fixing right now:
Updater - The migration mechanism for migrating your HTML 1.2.x sites to HTML 1.3 sites is not functioning. You can continue to run your HTML 1.2.x viewers against a site and you can add a new HTML5 1.3 viewer to a site.
Offline File Attachment - The new capability of attaching a file directly to a feature is not working when the HTML5 1.3 viewer is offline.
Offline Basemap in the Geocortex App - The HTML5 1.3 viewer is writing the path to stored offline basemap TPK files incorrectly. This means that the offline basemap TPK functionality of the HTML5 1.3 viewer enabling offline basemap viewing in the Geocortex App will not work.
WMTS Multiple Basemaps - If you have a WMTS service only the bottom most map service will ever be drawn in the HTML5 viewer.
Bing Map Layer Visibility - Bing maps layers that are visible by default will not render. Bing map layers not turned on when the site loads and then subsequently turned on will render fine.

Erik,
We encountered the same issue here. We had to revert back to 3.14 in order to regain this capability and bring our map viewers operational again. This was one of many issues we encountered after upgrading. The issues identified by Tyler earlier were also validated on our end. We were able to successfully deploy a Veeam backup of our production server to restore functionality. Highly recommend holding off on upgrading to 3.15 for the time being until all of these bugs can get resolved. : ) However, we are still extremely excited about this latest release based on the improvements listed and can't wait to upgrade to GE 3.15/HTML5 1.3/SL 1.10!0 -
Are you having trouble adding it to your site or is it only a problem once you try to launch a viewer?
I am able to add image services into a site with our 3.15 install just fine - both my own (on 10.0) and yours, specifically the "EGC_services/IMG_VCGI_BWMISC_SP_NOCACHE" service. I did not test it in a viewer, becasue I don't have any viewers configured yet.

After further investigation, it seems to be limited to our cached image services.
They will not add, they will not display.

Hello all. The image server issue has been fixed with the release of 3.15.1 today. Thanks!

I'm looking forward to the TypeScript documentation. Any idea when it will become available?

The TypeScript-based documentation is still a little ways out, and I should clarify what this means.
We used to use a JavaScript-based documentation tool to scrape comments out of our JavaScript API and framework and output them into documentation using a template. We've now ported our API and framework code to TypeScript, but unfortunately there still isn't a great documentation tool that meets our needs that is able to pull API documentation out of our TypeScript source files.
However, since TypeScript and JavaScript are fully compatible, the existing API reference (based on the 1.2 API and located in the SDK Samples) is valid, albeit slightly out of date. The public facing JavaScript API and framework remain largely the same between 1.2 and 1.3.
If you are writing modules in TypeScript using an IDE with code completion, you *will* see the most up-to-date and accurate reference information as you write code, as this comes directly from our TypeScript definition files and thus is 100% up-to-date. It is only the extracted, formatted, externalized API documentation that is pending.
The external API reference in SDK Samples will be updated once the tooling becomes ready for use. In the meantime, the up-to-date reference and type information is already available for you in the IDE simply by authoring your modules in TypeScript.

I was thinking more of conceptual documentation, as in the Administrator and Developer Guide. I've seen the deepdive video from the user conference, and I'd like more of that.

We are planning and designing some new conceptual documentation, similar to some of the materials in the Administrator and Developer guide. This will likely include best-practices around designing and architecting HTML5 applications using our technology. We would like to bring our samples, API reference, and concepts sections together as a one-stop resource for developing applications based on the HTML5 viewer and framework.
The next version of the HTML5 viewer will ship with the SDK Samples ported to TypeScript, so you may find that useful as well.

Cool, I can't wait.

Tyler,
Are there plans to include a measuring tool in the HTML5 viewer?
Thanks,
Vernon

Vernon,
Take a look at the road ahead webinar from yesterday in the Video Recordings section to see a demo of the next release of the HTML5 viewer.
