- Now, if the option “Import only Features in the current view†is activated when Importing a table or Importing-all tables from any WFS server, the reading of elements from the server will be filtered and only those that fit that spatial filter will be downloaded (A great time and performance advantage)

- The KML/KMZ data provider is updated in order to allow reading of elements belonging to custom schemes
- Automation of creating a non-existent folder when executing a defined Export task to that folder has been included
Dynamic Background Maps
- You can find a new option to Ignore or Invert the coordinate axes orientation for WMS and WMTS user Background Maps. This adds more compatibility with some servers
