Enhancements

This section describes new features and improvements (what's new).

Utility network

Utility network functionality has been greatly enhanced in this release. You can now trace your electric circuits, and gas and water systems using upstream, downstream and subnetwork traces. Set numerous trace configuration options to enhance and fine-tune all of these traces. In addition, your users can now query the contents of a network container, such as a switch cabinet or regulator station, using association queries. Finally, using the new subtype feature layer, you can now efficiently display different asset groups within a single feature class.

Maps and scenes

New raster types as offline elevation sources

With ArcGIS Pro 2.5 you can create mobile scene packages that utilize a range of raster types as elevation sources within a scene. Use these packages to take your scenes offline. With this release you do not need to unpack packages that contain raster data.

Custom styles available with vector tiles in a mobile map package

With ArcGIS Pro 2.5 you can create mobile map packages that include vector tile layers along with their own custom style. This release of ArcGIS Runtime adds support for displaying vector tile layers using the custom style included in the package.

Offline routing with a scene

With ArcGIS Pro 2.5 you can create mobile scene packages that contain transportation networks. You can now use these packages with ArcGIS Runtime to perform routing analysis entirely offline in a scene.

Map background color

A map's background color is now honored when displaying maps in a map view. This color will be displayed in transparent areas of the map as well as areas where there is no basemap or operational data. The background color can be defined programmatically or specified while creating webmaps and mobile map packages.

Drape 2D markers on a surface

Rather than always being billboarded, 2D markers can now be draped on the ground on a 3D surface when drawn in dynamic rendering mode. This matches the existing behavior of lines and polygons.

MrSID performance improvement

Display times are considerably faster when initially displaying and interacting with MrSID raster datasets at this release.

Closest Facility and Service Area inputs

Additional properties have been added to the Facility and Incident classes to help model and accurately locate moving features used as inputs. These properties are used to describe the speed, bearing, bearing tolerance, and latency for an input.

Feature table performance improvements

Performance of FeatureCollectionTable, ServiceFeatureTable, and WfsFeatureTable has been improved, in some cases by up to 65%. This applies to the initial population and subsequent navigation for ServiceFeatureTable and WfsFeatureTable when using On Interaction Cache or On Interaction No Cache feature request modes, as well as the manual population of these tables if using Manual Cache mode with calls to populateFromServiceAsync. It also applies to the insertion of large numbers of features into FeatureCollectionTable.

Symbology

Model scene symbol support for glTF

Model scene symbols now support glTF 2.0, a standardized file format for describing 3D objects. Model symbols can be created from .glTF or .glb files (a binary form). See the glTF Overview for more information about the glTF 2.0 specification.

Support for v3.0 dictionary styles

This release of ArcGIS Runtime adds support for version 3.0 of the ArcGIS dictionary style. This is the latest version used by ArcGIS Pro 2.5.

Visible scale range for symbols

ArcGIS Runtime now honors the visible scale range for symbols when displaying maps from mobile map packages. This is useful to limit the amount and type of data displayed at different map scales. You can use ArcGIS Pro to define the scale range for symbols in a Unique Value or Class Breaks renderer of a feature layer.

Improved support for visual variables with 3D Symbols

Model scene symbols now support size and rotation from visual variables along a user-defined axis. Geographic and arithmetic rotation from visual variables is supported along the heading axis. Color and size from visual variables are now supported on 3D primitive marker symbols, such as cube, cylinder, etc.

Create and modify KML screen overlays

Previous releases introduced the creation and modification of certain types of KML content, such as placemarks and ground overlays. This release adds support for creating, editing, and saving screen overlays (ScreenOverlay) within KML datasets. API additions comprise:

  • A constructor for ScreenOverlay
  • Read-write properties for color, icon, and draw order on ScreenOverlay
  • New properties on ScreenOverlay to support positioning, sizing, and rotating screen overlays

Licensing enhancements

With ArcGIS Runtime 100.7, you can now unlock Standard and Advanced license levels and the Analysis extension when using the User authentication licensing mechanism with ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8 or higher. Previously these license entitlements were only available using a license string.

API changes

Methods return DRAPED_BILLBOARDED

The enum value LayerSceneProperties.SurfacePlacement.DRAPED has been deprecated. Any methods that used to return SurfacePlacement.DRAPED now return SurfacePlacement.DRAPED_BILLBOARDED, for example ArcGISSceneLayer.getSurfacePlacement(). You should change any code that expects SurfacePlacement.DRAPED to use SurfacePlacement.DRAPED_BILLBOARDED instead.

Behavior changes

  • Utility Network license extension—Starting with ArcGIS Runtime 100.7 and ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8, Utility Network capabilities now require an explicit Utility Network license extension. This extension can be unlocked using a Utility Network license string, or a user that has been assigned a Utility Network user type extension.
  • When you take a webmap offline you can navigate between the map's min and max scale. This scale range is now specified by the original webmap (either defined by the service or the basemap layer). Previously, this scale range was limited by levels of detail downloaded when taking the map offline.

Deprecations

Support for Windows 7 SP1 is deprecated. A minimum of Windows 10 version 1803 will be required at the next release.

Support for Windows 10 version 1709 is deprecated. A minimum of Windows 10 version 1803 will be required at the next release.

Support for macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) was deprecated with release 100.6. As of this release, application target platforms must run a minimum of macOS 10.14 (Mojave).

In addition to being billboarded, 2D marker symbols displayed in a scene can now be draped on the ground to match the behavior of lines and polygons. This is supported for dynamic rendering, allowing you to move and rotate the symbols at sub-second intervals. To support this change, the DRAPED enum value of SurfacePlacement is deprecated. Use either DRAPED_BILLBOARDED or DRAPED_FLAT instead.

The PortalInfo.licenseInfo property has been deprecated. The preferred way to obtain license information for a user is by using the new Portal.fetchLicenseInfoAsync() method. This method returns ArcGIS Runtime license entitlements of members in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8, and is backwards-compatible with older versions of ArcGIS Enterprise.

Raster data can now be read directly from a mobile map/scene package without the need for it to be unpacked. You do not need to check whether a package can be read directly. The isDirectReadSupportedAsync method on the MobileMapPackage and MobileScenePackage have been deprecated. From this version they will always return a value of true. Since this method is no longer required, it can be removed from your calling code along with any subsequent use of unpackAsync method.

Support for ArcGIS Desktop 10.x packages with ArcGIS Runtime Local Server is deprecated. Version 100.8.0 will be the last ArcGIS Runtime Local Server release to support ArcGIS Desktop 10.x packages. The next version will require packages to be created with ArcGIS Pro.

Support for VMWare Horizon View 6.5 is deprecated. A minimum of VMWare Horizon 7.0 will be required at the next release.

Support for Citrix XenDesktop 7.17 and 7.18 is deprecated. A minimum of Citrix XenDesktop 7.6 will be required at the next release.

Support for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 1909 is deprecated. A minimum of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 1912 LTSR will be required at the next release.
