The 7.0a patch is now available for download on our website: http://k2geospatial.com/support.

Take note that this patch is only compatible with JMap 7.0. If you are using a version prior to 7.0, your JMap Server must be migrated to version 7.0 before installing this patch. After installing this patch, all deployed applications must be updated in JMap Admin.

The 7.0a patch contains a new deployment mode to help organizations deploying JMap Pro. For more information: https://k2geospatial.com/2016/12/new-deployment-mode-for-jmap-pro/

For your information, a complete version of JMap 7.0a that contains all released patches is now available for download on our website. That complete version can be installed on all JMap versions starting from JMap 6.0.
