What's new in MapWindow GIS 4.8 RC1
Sep 3, 2010
- Changes:
- The installer was rebuild from scratch. All files are checked if they need to be installed
- This resulted in a much slimmer installer (25MB instead of 40MB).
- MapWindow v4.8 requires now Windows XP or higher and .NET Framework v3.5.
- The used supporting libraries (GDAL, GEOS, PROJ4, etc.) have been updated to their latest stable versions.
- The GPC library is no longer used, because of its unclear license.
- A bookmark menu has been added.
- Some events in the legend control have been fixed, added or enhanced.
- A new, better looking, labeler has been added to MapWinGIS (ocx). In this version the labeler can only be used in your custom application or using a plug-in or script, the Labeler plug-in in MapWindow is not yet updated.
- A new toolstrip is being used to replace the standard Microsoft toolstrip.
