* Added support for exporting any loaded data into tiles for use in Google Maps. In addition, an HTML file will also be created allowing immediate viewing of the maps.
* Made significant improvements to the triangulation and gridding of 3D point, line, and area data. Not only is the process now MUCH faster (especially for large triangulations), but it also now supports treating lines as constraints (i.e. breaklines), saving the generated triangulation as a separate vector layer, and making elevations for source vector features be relative to the elevation from loaded terrain data. You now also grid a much larger number of points at once (well over 10 million points have been tested with no problems).
* Added option to Shapefile export to split the export into separate files by layer. This allows you to easily break your data up into separate Shapefiles based on the layer/description of the features being exported. The layer name for each file will be appended to the end of the selected export filename.
(Registered Version Only)
* Added fuzzy transparency support to allow for transparency for a raster layer to be set up so that all colors near a selected transparent color can be marked as transparent. This is useful for removing collars from lossy formats, like JPG, ECW, and MrSID.
* Allowed 3D area features to be created in Shapefile export.
(Registered Version Only)
* Added support for loading RIK (Swedish Topo) format raster files.
* Added support for loading OCAD format files.
* Added support for loading MapTech PCX charts. Load these from the MapTech .hdr file in the ChartHdr folder.
* Added support for loading OziExplorer .rte format files.
* Added support for loading Garmin PCX5 .rte format files.
* Added support for loading UKOOA format post plot data files. They are listed under the format SEGP1/UKOOA.
* Added support for loading HF2/HFZ format elevation grid files.
* Added support for exporting loaded gridded elevation data to HF2/HFZ format files.
(Registered Version Only)
* Added new item to the Options menu on the Path Profile/Line of Sight dialog to allow specification of how many sample points (either by number or by a spacing distance) to use when generating the path profile.
* Allowed feather blending to use multiple polygons.
* Added several new built-in symbols for different well types used in the petroleum industry.
* Made minor improvements to Polish MP export, including option to keep ID value from [IMG ID] section during templated exports, to copy the [FILES] and [MAP] sections from template files, to allow Text attributes longer than 80 characters, and to automatically remove the labels from marine spot depth and height points.
(Registered Version Only)
* Added new option to JPG export to allow specification of a DPI value to store in the exported JPG file.
(Registered Version Only)
* Added DXF vector export option to use the filename for the input feature as the layer name in addition to the default of the feature description or the feature label.
(Registered Version Only)
* Added new COMBINE_TERRAIN command to the scripting language to allow combining terrain layers to generate a new layer using a script file.
(Registered Version Only)
* Added new ADD_MEASURE_ATTRS command to the scripting language to allow adding measure attributes to loaded vector layers from a script.
(Registered Version Only)
* Made the OVERWRITE_EXISTING=NO parameter work properly when gridding an export from a script.
(Registered Version Only)
* Added new PIXEL_SIZE parameter for use with the EXPORT_RASTER script command. This parameter allows you to specify the desired pixel size of your export result. The format is PIXEL_SIZE="widthxheight", or PIXEL_SIZE="1024x768" as an example.
(Registered Version Only)
* Made the value of the INC_VECTOR_DATA parameter default to YES with the EXPORT_RASTER command if only vector data is loaded.
(Registered Version Only)
* Allowed use of SPATIAL_RES parameter with the IMPORT_ASCII script command to manually specify the grid resolution to use when generating a gridded elevation layer.
(Registered Version Only)
* Added new LAYER_BOUNDS_EXPAND parameter to script commands taking a bounding box so allow using an expanded version of a bounding box obtained using a LAYER_BOUNDS parameter.
(Registered Version Only)
* Added new DGN_GLOBAL_ORIGIN_LL, DGN_REPLACE_DARK_COLORS, and DGN_UNIT_RESOLUTION parameters to the EXPORT_VECTOR script command to allow specifying additional options for DGN export.
(Registered Version Only)
* Made GEN_WORLD_FILE parameter work for ECW and JPEG2000 exports from script files.
(Registered Version Only)
* Allowed easy movement of view sheds by moving the transmitter point feature at the center of the view shed using the Digitizer/Edit Tool. When this is done, the user will now be prompted to recalculate the view shed at the new location if they want.
(Registered Version Only)
* Added option to lock the current active workspace file while you are working with it to prevent other users from opening and using that same workspace file. This is useful in network environments where you don't want one persons work to accidentally overwrite another's. This option is in the Advanced section of the General Options tab of the Configuration dialog.
(Registered Version Only)
* Added option to have cells from DGN v8 and later files to be imported as point features at the cell's origin rather than be exploded into the features referenced by the cell. This option is in the Advanced section of the General Options tab of the Configuration dialog.
* Added option to have the color number for lines from DGN v8 and later files to be add to the feature description text in addition to the level number. This option is in the Advanced section of the General Options tab of the Configuration dialog.
* Added option to generate world files and PRJ files during Terragen terrain export.
(Registered Version Only)
* Added support for getting depth values from a connected GPS device that embeds $STDBT or $IIDBT NMEA sentences containing the depth values. For GPS devices that provide depth, the depth will be used as the Z coordinate for track logs rather than the elevation value.
* Added option to Options menu on rectification dialog to automatically add control points at the image corners.
* Fixed creation of attribute list when marking new waypoints from a connected GPS device. Previously the elevation and time stamp attributes were no longer being saved.
* Fixed problem with elevation units other than meters not being usable for Lidar LAS and Terrascan files loaded as point cloud data sets.
* When loading TIFF files with 4 color channels and the 4th color channel is of unspecified type, prompt the user to see if this should be treated as an alpha channel or an additional data channel (like infrared). This allows TIFF files created with Photoshop with an incorrectly marked alpha channel to be loaded and displayed properly.
* Added new option to the Advanced section of the General Options tab of the Configuration dialog to automatically save backup copies of the current workspace every so often. These backup copies will be created in the same folder as the workspace file and have the suffix "auto_backupX", where X is a number from 0 to 9.
(Registered Version Only)

* When exporting raster layers to Global Mapper Package files, make those layers support transparency so that they will overlay properly on other layers when re-loaded.
(Registered Version Only)
* Made feather-blended elevation layers visually feather blend better in to underlying layers rather than just smoothly blending the elevation values.
* When loading files from workspace, script, and map catalog files, if the file exists at the full path specified, don't check for a new location relative to the metafile location.
* When rectifying imagery, allowed new control point values to be entered as lat/lon coordinates regardless of the native projection of the layer.
* Fixed problem with manually specified grid spacing being ignored when flattening areas using the Digitizer Tool.
* Added option to World Wind export to allow generating the filenames required by the Java edition of World Wind.
* Updated area calculations to be done in the native units for a layer rather than always be done in lat/lon coordinates. This can make area calculations from Global Mapper for large areas more consistent with what you see in other applications.
* Fixed bug with fill style not being read from generic ASCII files properly.
* Fixed errors rendering ECW and JPEG2000 files to monitors with extremely high resolutions (typically multi-monitor setups).
* Added option to Help menu to disable the automatic check for updates at application startup.
* Made it possible to batch convert from ASCII text files (like XYZ) to gridded elevation formats.
(Registered Version Only)
* Fixed bug in batch conversion that caused the horizontal extents of raster or gridded elevation data exported using a custom spacing to be incorrect in some situations. Also fixed problem with an extra column and or row being exported when the custom spacing option was used.
(Registered Version Only)
* Added attributes for database linkages to loaded DGN files.

The first three will always be enabled by default when you start Global Mapper and the vertex display will now always be disabled by default.
* Corrected positioning of ENVI files that don't use the top left coordinate as their reference point.
* Fixed problems exporting attributes with special characters like # and - in their name to MapInfo MIF/MID format files.
(Registered Version Only)
* Added support for loading ERS files with missing cell sizes. These are apparently defined as having a cell size of 1.0.

* Fixed problem with the 'Update GCP' button on the rectification dialog causing the name of the control point being updated to be lost.
* Added ability to automatically add/update a MODIFIED_DATE parameter to vector features when they are modified. This option is found in the options list at the bottom of the Vector Display tab of the Configuration dialog.
* Added control of the JPEG-in-TIFF quality setting with a new DWORD registry setting at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Global Mapper\JpegInTiffQuality" to control the JPEG-n-TIFF quality. The default value is 75.
