MAPINFO 11.5.1 - A PATCH ABOVE
This release is a bit of a breakthrough for MapInfo. In previous patch releases, much of the body of the update has been given over to fixing bugs and not a lot else. In 11.5.1, it’s great to see not only the normal bug fixes being addressed, but there is also good number of new and enhanced functionality. This takes these kind of updates to a whole new level and we would advise our users to keep an eye out for them and continually update the software as patches are lreaeasedm, as you will really benefit from this enhanced product.
This release has also given us a brief insight into what may be down the line in terms of interoperability between PBS and Autodesk products, which is very exciting.
We are looking forward to seeing the beginning of the Pitney Bowes / Autodesk strategic alignment in the 11.5.2 maintenance release later in the year.
The body of the official press release for 11.5.1 can be found below.
Pitney Bowes Software has announced the immediate availability of the MapInfo Professional version 11.5.1 maintenance release. You can obtain the maintenance release by opening MapInfo Professional and selecting the “Help > Check for Update…” menu option
What’s New?
• Improved workspace opening – users can now skip missing files
• Support for Oracle external authentication (single sign-on)
• One click sorting in the Browser window
• Improvements to the Legend Designer, such as the ability to sort legend items
• Numerous fixes to customer issues
What’s next?
Another maintenance release (11.5.2) is due out later in the year which will add support for WFS 1.1 as well as integration with Autodesk products. For a complete list of issues addressed in the maintenance release, please refer to the release notes document on the web site. This patch can be applied to either MapInfo Professional or MapInfo Runtime version 11.5 only. If your organisation uses a software deployment package such as Microsoft SMS, you can download the maintenance release as a MSP file. Instructions for installing the MSP file can be found in the release notes, as can instructions on performing a silent installation of the maintenance release.
