MMGIS v2.3.0

Summary

The Draw Tool gets its own tag filtering system. The Measure Tool now uses great arcs and is way more accurate and the map now fully supports WMS layers!

Migration Details

• The DrawTool tagging system change ideally needs more space in the file_description column. To increase it and not hit a tag or file description limit in drawing files, back-up the MMGIS database and run the SQL command:

ALTER TABLE user_files ALTER COLUMN file_description TYPE VARCHAR(10000);

Added

• Draw Tool files can now be search for by user defined tags/keyword
• Draw Tool file options modal has been upgraded
• Admins can pin preferred tags
• Measure Tool now uses great arcs to compute measurements as well as for rendering lines

Removed

Changed

• Draw Tool requires a user to enter a file name before creating a file. (Instead of adding one as "New File")
