Patch: JMap 6.5 b is now available

The 6.5 b patch is now available for download on our website: http://k2geospatial.com/en/products/downloads

Take note that this patch is only compatible with JMap 6.5 and its patch (a). If you are using a version prior to 6.5, your JMap Server must be migrated to version 6.5 before installing this patch. After having install this patch, all deployed applications must be updated in JMap Admin.

Warning: If your organization uses editable SQL Server spatial data sources, please ensure that your data have the same SRID as related spatial data source in JMap. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact the K2 Geospatial's technical support.
