Mapbits 5 includes many exciting changes across most of the Mapbits plugins and takes advantage of unlimited item attributes in APEX 24.2 to bring even more declarative awesomeness to your adventures in APEX cartography!

⚠️ Breaking changes

  • Removed the Mapbits Lodestar Info Window item. Its functionality has been merged into the Lodestar Layer item; see the Info Window attribute group.
  • Removed the Mapbits Labeler item. Use Mapbits Lodestar Layer or Mapbits HTML Marker Layer plug-ins instead.
  • Drawing plugin: Removed "Read Only Item" attribute. The drawing item now follows the standard Read Only attributes at the item/region/page level.
  • Export to Image: Removed the base64 clob001 column from the collection to conserve memory. Use the blob001 column instead.
