Using Bing Maps? Here's some new builds of Fusion.

I gave out the warning last month, and just in time before Microsoft pulls the plug on the Bing Maps legacy controls and services on June 30th 2017, here's some new builds of Fusion with support for the current iteration of Bing Maps.

The current iteration of Bing Maps now requires an API key, so if you don't have one you can signup for one at the bing maps portal.

I don't normally put out releases of Fusion like this. I'd normally would just roll it into a new point release of MapGuide Open Source, but I'm currently not in a suitable position at the moment to put out new builds of MapGuide, so this will have to suffice.

Download Fusion for your particular version of MapGuide here:

Fusion for MGOS 2.6

Fusion for MGOS 3.0

Fusion for MGOS 3.1

To install, just extract the zip file contents to the www directory of your MapGuide installation. Be sure to back up or remove the existing fusion directory before doing this.

Now, having not put out a new release of MapGuide for a while, there are also plenty of fixes and minor enhancements made to these respective branches of Fusion since the version bundled with their respective released version of MapGuide. You can check out the changelogs for these respective branches here:

Fusion for MGOS 2.6 Changelog

Fusion for MGOS 3.0 Changelog

Fusion for MGOS 3.1 Changelog

So you've got your Bing Maps API key, where in the Application Definition do you put this key in?
