WMS:What's new in WMS version 11.3

The WMS software development team is excited about the release of WMS 11.3! This page lists the exciting new features that have been added to WMS 11.3.

What's new in WMS 11.3

General

• Added a search box to the Recent Files dialog to make it easier to find recent projects.
• Updates to the coverage cleaner in the Clean Options dialog which include:
  • Cleaning algorithm is now significantly faster on large coverages.
  • Improved user interface.
• Updated Map Locator tool.

GSSHA

• Updated GSSHA executable to version 8.0.018.
• Permafrost parameters have been added for use with GSHHA models in WMS.

Toolbox

• New coverage tools (beta):
  • Centroids from polygons
  • Coverage clip tool
  • Contours from raster
  • Contours from single raster value
  • Features from raster
  • Polygon from raster bounds
  • Polygons from arcs
  • Polygons from index raster
  • Polygons from raster nodata
  • Snap outlet points to streams
  • Trim coverage
  • Watershed from raster
• New raster tools (beta):
  • New flow direction/flow accumulation computation tools (a rho8 and a D8 "full workflow" algorithm) based on the Whitebox suite of tools that run orders of magnitude faster than the TOPAZ and even TauDEM flow direction/flow accumulation computation packages. This tool runs directly from the Run Flow Directions/Accumulations menu item as alternate options in the dialog:
