OpenLayers 2.8 Released

By James Fee | Published: June 22, 2009

The wait is over, OpenLayers 2.8 has been released.  Some of the highlights I think are important:

  • Add support for multi-layer feature selection when using vector features
  • Added support for “XYZ” layers to interact with standard caches of tiles; includes OSM support built in
  • Add support for drawing text on vector layers
  • Support for loading ArcGIS Server data
  • OSM layer
  • Improved KML support with better styling, networklink support, ExtendedData Support

The full list is here.  ArcXML support is “interesting”, but I havne’t touched an AXL file in years.

Hooray OpenLayers!

Hooray OpenLayers!

    Great news James.

    2.8 is a great milestone for the ESRI side. I’m preparing to release Ext OL with OpenLayers v2.7, but I have to delay it for a while to test it with v2.8

    “I havne’t touched an AXL file in years” Neither have any of the people running active ArcIMS sites. :)
