Take note that this update is only compatible with JMap 7.0 or a newer version). 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 Dakar 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 Dakar 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.
