Announcing: mapguide-react-layout 0.14.8

We've arrived at the next stop on the tour, a new release of mapguide-react-layout

This release has the following notable changes

Map Definition with XYZ tileset restriction lifted

MapGuide Open Source 4.0 removed the restriction that Map Definitions cannot link to a XYZ tileset definition. This release of mapguide-react-layout takes advantage of this removed restriction by now supporting loading of a Map Definition that links to a XYZ tileset.

Support for loading custom projections and app settings from an Application Definition

The beauty of the Extension element in an Application Definition document (and why its XML schema has not required a revision since its introduction) is that we can put any content in there.

With this release, we are taking advantage of this fact by supporting the ability to read custom projections and app settings from an Application Definition if the right elements are present in the root Extension element of the Application Definition.

By registering custom projections in the Application Definitions, we can register custom projections with the viewer without requiring an epsg.io lookup.

The next release of Maestro (the next stop on this tour) will have dedicated editors for specifying custom projections and app settings. So stay tuned to see how this feature can be used.

Modal dialog size/positioning now preserved

The redux state around modal dialogs has been reworked so that size/positioning is now preserved. This means that if you close a modal dialog and re-open it later on, it will retain the previous size/positioning it had previously, as demonstrated in this video.


MapGuide Base Layers now has its own opacity

Previously the opacity of MapGuide Base Layers was coupled to the opacity of the MapGuide Map. With this release, MapGuide Base Layers now has its own opacity setting.



Other Changes

  • OpenLayers updated to 6.15.1
  • Support disabling custom cursors through a new DISABLE_CURSORS app setting (1 to enable, 0 to disable)

  • Fix epsg.io lookup
  • Support Coordinate Tracker with only one projection specified
  • Un-break viewer API drawing example
