Enhancements
This section describes new features and improvements (what's new).
Geometry
Support for true curves in a mobile map package
Features from a mobile map package (.mmpk file) represented with true curve geometry can be displayed, queried, and selected in an ArcGIS Runtime app. Curved geometries can also be used in a variety of GeometryEngine methods:
- Relational operations:
contains,crosses,disjoint,equals,intersects,overlaps,touches, andwithin - Topological operations:
boundary,clip,intersection,intersections,is,Simple simplify, andunion - Measurement operations:
area,area,Geodetic length,length, andGeodetic fraction, withAlong distancealso supporting curved geometry input if the other input geometry is a point - Utility operations:
combine,Extents remove,Z remove,M remove,Z And M set,M set, andZ setZ And M - and
buffer,densify, andgeneralizeoperations that take curves as input and produce a densified result.
ArcGIS Runtime will continue to support curved geometries in more workflows and Geometry operations in future releases.
Imagery
MrSID performance improvements
The rendering performance of MrSID image data has been significantly improved on all platforms supported by ArcGIS Runtime.
Layers
New managed labeling API
In past releases, displaying labels required defining a layer's labeling information using JSON. With this release, the same JSON properties are exposed in a new Label API. You can easily create new label definitions, intuitively read and manipulate label definitions, and persist changes in the state of a label definition. The Label by-reference API is complimentary to JSON for feature layers and graphics.
Custom layer parameters
Custom query parameters (collection of key/value pairs) can be stored in a web map or web scene and honored by ArcGIS Runtime for the following ArcGIS layer types:
- Map service layer (ArcGISMapImageLayer)
- Tiled map service layer (ArcGISTiledLayer)
- Vector tiled map service layer (ArcGISVectorTileLayer)
- Feature layer (FeatureLayer)
- Table (ServiceFeatureTable)
- Scene layer (ArcGISSceneLayer)
- Image service layer (RasterLayer, ImageServiceRaster)
- Tiled image service layer (ArcGISTiledLayer)
Image tile layer performance improvements
Improvements have been made that reduce the number of tile requests needed by image tile layers when users pan and zoom in maps (2D). These improvements result in less network traffic and faster draw times.
The internal caching mechanism has also been improved, which reduces the amount of file I/O that occurs when working with these layers. This improvement results in better performance when using a hard disk drive.
Maps
API key can be set directly on Basemap
An API key can now be set directly on a Basemap. This allows a Basemap to be consumed with an API key that is distinct from a globally defined key (for the ArcGIS Runtime Environment). Developers can set an API key on Basemap and access it without having set a global API key at all. (Prior this release, Basemap could only use the API key set at the global level.)
Map Viewpoints
ArcGIS Runtime now honors viewpoints stored in web maps and mobile maps. A viewpoint defines a geographic area of interest that may also include a rotation to properly orient the map display. They can be used to define the initial display of the map as well as to provide bookmarks to quickly show specific areas. Viewpoints can also apply an exact display scale to ensure that map contents and scale-dependent layers display consistently on various devices with different screen dimensions. You can use ArcGIS Pro 2.7 or later, or the new ArcGIS Online Map Viewer web application to author maps with viewpoints.
Arcade v1.12 in popups is honored
Arcade v1.12 functions used in popups are now honored by ArcGIS Runtime.
Network analysis
Rerouting improvements
Rerouting with an online route task has been enhanced to handle situations where the user device is positioned off the street network, such as in a parking lot or an off-road area.
Offline
Public feature services can now be edited while offline using a Lite license.
Scenes
Optimized elevation calculations
Elevation calculations have been optimized to improve performance when panning and zooming around scenes that contain data relative to the scene's surface.
Symbols
Support for UniqueValueFromStyle renderers
ArcGIS Runtime can now display content using unique value from style rendering from varied resources, such as scene layers, scene layer packages, web scenes, and mobile scene packages. As described in the web scene specification, Unique renders features by mapping values in a layer's attribute to symbols in an ESRI-registered 3D web style. Note that a Point scene layer with this type of renderer can only be published using ArcGIS Pro.
Support for Arcade 1.11 functions in renderers
Runtime now honors Arcade 1.11 functions in renderers.
Utility network
Take utility networks offline
At 100.11, ArcGIS Runtime gains the ability to take certain utility network information offline. Associations are used to describe containment, structural attachment, and connection between features with non-coincident geometry. These can now be queried and displayed with offline data. Simple edits can be made to utility network features, and synchronized back to ArcGIS Enterprise. Taking a utility network offline requires version 10.9 of ArcGIS Enterprise. Offline tracing of utility networks is not yet supported, but is being worked on for a future release.
Named trace configurations
Another new capability in 100.11 is support for named trace configurations. A named trace configuration is a set of tracing parameters that is built with ArcGIS Pro, stored on ArcGIS Enterprise, and published with web maps. Named trace configurations allows developers to write utility applications that are independent of individual customer data models. Tracing capabilities can now be configured rather than customized. Named trace configurations require version 10.9 of ArcGIS Enterprise and can be saved with web maps published using ArcGIS Pro version 2.7 or later.
Behavior changes
There are no behavior changes with this release.
Deprecations
- Locators created with the
Create Address Locatortool (Geocoding toolbox) will not be supported after ArcGIS Runtime version 100.11. With the 100.12 release, only the locators created with theCreate Locatortool (Geocoding toolbox) will be supported. The deprecated locator format is composed of the files.loc,.loc.xml,.locb, and.lox. The newer locator format is composed of the files.locand.loz.
- Support for developing with and deploying apps to Windows 10, Versions 1803 (Build 17134) & 1809 (Build 17763), is deprecated. A minimum of Windows 10 Version 1909 (Build 18363) will be required at the next release.
