This release adds vector layers, north pointers in prints, a collapse all button in the layer control, fixed attributions to maps and a number of other bug fixes and behind the scenes code improvements.
Vector Layers
GIFramework Maps now supports Vector layers using OGC Vector Tiles, Mapbox Vector Tiles or standard Vector using WFS or file based JSON/KML. Before using these new layer types, they will need to be added to the table 'LayerSourceTypes' in the database as follows.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| OGCVectorTile | VectorTiles using the OGC API - Tiles standard |
| VectorTile | VectorTiles using MapBox Vector Tiles standard |
| Vector | Layers derived from a vector source, such as a WFS service or a static GeoJSON file |
| VectorImage | Layers derived from a vector source, such as a WFS service or a static GeoJSON file. Use this type to improve rendering speeds for complex vector sources |

This is new functionality and should be considered as 'beta' functionality until the various bugs and weirdness is found and ironed out.
