Manifold 9 VC is updated to 14.34.31933. VC runtime is updated to 14.32.31332.0. This adds many minor performance improvements and makes Manifold modules use the same version of the runtime as the latest modules from Microsoft and other big vendors, saving resources that would otherwise be spent on keeping multiple versions of the runtime in memory. CUDA is updated to 11.8. GPGPU modules for sm_50 and sm_60 architectures now use slightly less GPGPU resources. ECW SDK is updated to 5.5.0.2268. This fixes a couple of minor bugs related to the reading of ECW and JPEG2K images. LIBWEBP is updated to 1.2.4. This improves the visual quality of compressed WEBP images and fixes several bugs related to transparency, etc. SQLITE is updated to 3.39.4. This adds support for RIGHT and FULL outer joins (SQLITE didn't have them until 3.39) as well as several minor performance improvements. This also fixes a number of bugs, most notably with join optimizations and with the UPSERT statement. The Create Area Sample command for layouts has a new icon. The Create North Arrow / Create Scale Bar commands for layouts have new icons. The cursor modes for these commands use new cursors. Preview controls for area / line / point / text style use a single shared preview background color per Manifold session (previously each control started with the background color of the map which could then be changed interactively, with the changes only persisting until the dialog is closed). The default preview background color is set to light blue (previously white, the new default makes it easier to see white halos). Preview controls for grid / north arrow / scale bar style use the shared preview background color and allow changing it using the color picker box in the right top corner. The North Arrow / Scale Bar dialogs use a better label for position options: Align -> Position. The Scale Bar dialog allows specifying the desired scale bar length in scale bar units. If the space allocated for the scale bar is too small to show the desired length, the length is computed automatically from the visual size of the scale bar, rounding down to the first two significant digits (same as in the previous builds). The default is to always compute the length automatically. (Fix) The automatically computed length of a scale bar in a layout frame may no longer round to different values depending on the zoom or print resolution due to an incorrect handling of rounding error. The Grid / North Arrow / Scale Bar dialogs include the Apply button which allows applying changes without closing the dialog. (The button is currently only shown when the dialog is used to edit the style of a virtual layer in the Layers pane. In the future, we might also show it when the dialog is used to edit the style of a layout frame in the Info pane.) The Layers pane has new filters for layout frames: North Arrows / Scale Bars / Samples. The Text Frames filter is renamed to just Text. The Info pane showing data for a layout frame changes the name of the Update Record button to Update Frame. (Fix) A lat/lon grid for a component in a non-lat/lon coordinate system no longer sometimes uses the wrong unit for the grid step if the grid unit is set to 'auto'. Snapping to grid in a map window now snaps to the virtual grid layer. Snapping to grid always uses the base grid step. Snapping does not require the virtual grid layer to be turned on. The Snap Parameters dialog no longer contains means to specify grid step and grid unit for the formerly separate snap grid. (Fix) The Selection query function asked to return unselected records in a table that was never opened in a window now correctly returns a full table instead of an empty table. (Fix) The SelectionWindow query function asked to return unselected records for a table in a window / layer that no longer exist now correctly returns a full table instead of an empty table. New query function: SelectionReplace. Takes a table to select records in, a table with keys to select and a flag whether records with the passed keys should be selected or unselected. The keys table should contain fields from the result table of SelectionKeys, with compatible types. The keys table may contain other fields as well, they will be ignored. The returned value is the number of unique keys fetched from the keys table. Since some of the keys might not exist in the table, replacing the selection using this function marks the selection as not knowing the exact number of selected records. To determine the exact number of selected records, click the '?' button in the Info pane. For the examples below, create a new MAP file, open MFD_META, open a new command window, then dock it below MFD_META (right-click the tab for the command window and select Dock Down) so that you can run example queries and immediately watch what they do. Examples: --SQL9 -- example 1 VALUE @a FLOAT64 = SelectionReplace(mfd_meta, (VALUES (2) AS (mfd_id)), TRUE); -- example 2 VALUE @a FLOAT64 = SelectionReplace(mfd_meta, (VALUES (2), (3) AS (mfd_id)), TRUE); -- example 3 VALUE @a FLOAT64 = SelectionReplace(mfd_meta, (VALUES (2), (3) AS (mfd_id)), FALSE); -- example 4 VALUE @a FLOAT64 = SelectionReplace(mfd_meta, (SELECT * FROM mfd_meta WHERE name='mfd_root'), TRUE); New query function: SelectionReplaceWindow. Same as SelectionReplace, but also takes a window name and a layer name, which allows this function to replace the selection for a dynamic layer based on a query. The SelectionReplace / SelectionReplaceWindow query functions automatically create the selection for a table that was never opened as long as it is static (not the result table of a query) and belongs to the database opened in the UI or one of its child databases (not to an arbitrary database opened by a script). MANIFOLD.EXE supports the new -showserial command line option that shows the first 8 characters of the serial number in the log window. The first characters of the serial number are not written into the log file and are only shown in the window. The option works for all editions of Manifold and SQL for ArcGIS Pro, but not for Manifold Viewer. Manifold 8 VC is updated to 14.34.31933. VC runtime is updated to 14.32.31332.0. This adds many minor performance improvements and makes Manifold modules use the same version of the runtime as the latest modules from Microsoft and other big vendors, saving resources that would otherwise be spent on keeping multiple versions of the runtime in memory. MANIFOLD.EXE supports the new -showserial command line option that shows the first 8 characters of the serial number in the History pane. End of list.
