Architecture - services: a single Windows service is now required for the application to function correctly: Geoconcept Web Tomcat. Depending on the installation choices made, the Geoconcept Web PostgreSQL service may also be present.
Architecture - HTTP/HTTPS: When installing, HTTPS activation is now possible.
Architecture - 64-bit: all components in version 6.0 of Geoconcept Web are 64-bit. The JVM (Java) must be a 64-bit version.
Architecture - new kernel: new version of the cartographic kernel is naturally multi-thread (for better performances) and multi-instance without any specific configuration of parameters.
Architecture - new drawing engine: better display quality, smoothing of all displays, better handling of transparency, provides new appearances available in Geoconcept GIS version 8 and later versions (polygons: dashed lines to represent outlines, radius effect towards the interior or exterior - lines: dashed lines to represent lines - points: utilisation of .svg format images).
Architecture - new display library: the display of portals uses the latest version of the OpenLayers library that offers greater fluidity in movements of the display, improved vector object handling, and supports high resolution displays.
Architecture - maps with 12 or 24 logical scales: utilisation of maps with 12 or 24 logical scales created with the Geoconcept GIS from version 8 upwards.
Administration - map configuration: the configuration of maps is now fully integrated within Geoconcept Web.
Administration - dissemination of maps: Geoconcept map publishing is now handled in a single directory (includes all the map’s sub-directories).
Administration - cache: simplification of the Cache management interface for tiles.
Administration - centralised authentication: possibility of externalising to a third party directory the management of user identifiers and passwords, either using an Active Directory, or using unique authentication or Single Sign-On (SSO).
Administration - administration menu rights: handling of rights for more targeted groups with the addition of each module of the Administration menu independently.
Administration - My portals: lists, on the home page, portals available for each user, as dictated by their individual rights.
Layers - configuration of tiled layers: automatic creation of new layers on application start-up.
Layers - projection: addition of projection information in the pages of vector layers.
Layers - composite layer: creation of composite layers associating several vector layers.
Layers - object grouping: activates the grouping of point objects as dictated by geographic proximity for improved map legibility.
Layers - mask: creation of masks so the map can be displayed only on one geographic sector identified as a function of the rights of each individual user.
Layers - style example: provision of a library of modifiable styles for the standard appearance, the selection, and the geocoding result.
Layers - vector layers editing rights: prohibition of the editing of data via the form, and deletion of objects if the user does not have the relevant rights.
Dissemination from the Geoconcept GIS: development to conserve all layers when a portal is updated, setting up of a new mechanism to publish voluminous maps.
Isochrone widget: enables design of isochrones/isodistance in portals.
Selection widget: enables display of the current list of selected objects via a query or a selection.
Widget selection in the map: three new widgets enable selection of objects in the Geoconcept map.
Advanced layers manager widget: complete redesign of this widget that is now more comprehensive and practical to handle, integration of legends and addition of a link to the relevant metadata.
Query widget: the following developments have been implemented: query on date fields, on intervals, and addition of a notification if the query does not return any object.
PDF Printing widget: display of object information at the centre of the zone to print, and addition of a set text block.
Infobox (Tooltip) widget: new appearance of the form in the portal.
Geocoding widget: activation of 'multiple fields' mode, that is the mode whereby each component of an address searched for (Address, Post code, Town) can be entered individually. This enables search on post code alone, for example.
Text widget: addition of the active layer.
Widget editing: integration of an editor enabling creation of new widgets.
Mobile: customisation of individual widgets between one portal in classic mode or one in mobile/adaptive mode.
Mobile - Infobox (Tooltip) widget: new appearance of the form in the portal.
Web service - secure access: addition of a key mechanism to protect access to web services.
Web service - Compact matrix calculation: development of the matrix calculation web service that returns the results in another format.
Web service - Optimization (simplified version): multiple visit windows are now handled.
Web service - Object search: addition of several parameters, search for several targets within a single call, maximum search distance, maximum number of candidates and geometries of returned objects.
Web service - Route: calculation of the route’s carbon footprint.
Web service - Route, Search around, Matrix calculation, Compact matrix calculation: addition of the notion of node to speed up calculation times.
Web service - Route, Search around, Matrix calculation, Compact matrix calculation, Isochrone/isodistance calculation: taking no-entry or restricted access zones into account.
Documentation: Direct link to various relevant Geoconcept Web documentation items.
Documentation - autocompletion: example of autocompletion file design.
SLD documentation: SLD example of how styles can be implemented to develop display handling.
