What's New in Autodesk MapGuide Author? XML Support Autodesk MapGuide now supports a new XML representation of an MWF file: Map Window XML Files (MWXs), significantly increasing application development flexibility. In Autodesk MapGuide Author, you can open and modify maps saved in MWX format. With the Dynamic Authoring Toolkit, you can convert files between MWF, MLF, and MWX formats. You use thirdparty XML tools to modify the MWX files. See "Dynamic Authoring Toolkit" on page 12 for an overview of the Dynamic Authoring Toolkit. Enhanced Symbol and Symbol Library Support Now, you can incorporate numerous file formats, including bitmaps and TrueType fonts, into map layers. Using Autodesk MapGuide Author, you can modify the transparency of symbols you apply to both point layers and redline layers. You can also include both bitmap images and vector graphics in the same symbol file. What's New in Autodesk MapGuide Server? Improved Load Balancing Changes to the MapAgent files improve load balancing between servers. All MapAgents now distribute requests evenly between the available servers, even at low load. MapAgents rank the available servers into an ordered list, starting with the best candidate to process the request. If a server fails to generate a response either because it is offline, or because it doesn't understand the request, the MapAgent tries the next server in the list until it gets a successful response, or until there are no more servers to try. In previous Autodesk MapGuide Server releases, MapAgents returned an error as soon as they encountered it. Improved MapAgent Error Messaging When working with multiple servers, Autodesk MapAgent now tells you which server is unable to process a client request without revealing the server's IP address but by displaying its order number in the list of servers in the registry file. 14 | Chapter 1 Introduction
