What's New in InterMapper® 5.8.1?

InterMapper 5.8.1 includes a number new features and enhancements. Here's a summary...

Support for Native 64-bit Operation of InterMapper Server

InterMapper Server, including InterMapper Flows, can run in 64-bit mode on all platforms. InterMapper DataCenter and InterMapper RemoteAccess continue to install and run as 32-bit applications.

Note: To run the 64-bit version on a Windows system, you must uninstall the previous 32-bit version. The InterMapper Settings files are compatible, but backing up the InterMapper Settings folder is always a good idea.

Support for New Platforms

Java JRE 1.7 Run-Time

All versions of InterMapper now require Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 7 or newer. The JRE is installed automatically with Windows and Mac versions. All other platforms must download and install the current JRE.

Display of "Running Ants" Off by Default

To reduce resource load when nearing operating limits, running ants do not appear on links by default. Turn them on from the Animation panel of the Preferences window.

Changes to License Key and Trial License Mechanisms

The process for requesting a trial license and for registering InterMapper has been streamlined, and the format of the license key has been redesigned. All trial license requests and new registrations require a license key in the new format. Requests are made from within InterMapper using a web service. For more information, see Registering Your Software{}

Schedule Automatic Map Backups

A new Map Backup panel in the Server Settings window lets you schedule automatic backups of all your maps. For more information, see the Map Backup topic.

New Look for Built-in Web Pages

The InterMapper web server pages have been redesigned to enhance usability on mobile devices.
