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

Important: If your organization uses JMap 7.0 or its patches (a-c, Amsterdam), please ensure to upgrade to the 7.0 Bogotá version as soon as possible to prevent performance issues and fix a security issue in JMap Admin.

Take note that this update is only compatible with JMap 7.0 and its patches (a-c, Amsterdam). If you are using a version prior to 7.0, your JMap Server must be migrated to version 7.0 before installing this update. After installing this patch, all deployed applications must be updated in JMap Admin.

The 7.0 Bogotá version 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 7.0 Bogotá 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 6.5.
