New platform

Windows Server 2025

Windows® Server 2025 is now also officially supported in M.App Enterprise. Test cycle was successfully completed since the official release of the server OS beginning of October 2024.

New technology

Browser Printing

With this update of M.App Enterprise we are introducing Printing in Browser Applications. Because on the browser side a different approach than on the Desktop side is chosen, Print Layouts are kept in the different sections of the clients in the MAE Studio. Browser Print Layouts are based on HTML / CSS / JS. Here are steps to follow to see your defined template in the browser application:
  1. Upload your HTML file in Browser → Print Layouts
  2. Add your Print Layout(s) to the MapView
  3. Define a default one → not necessary when you just have one
  4. Start Browser Application
  5. Click on the icon in the menu
  6. A preview will open, where you can choose the Print Layout
  7. Only applicable when having more than one
  8. Click Print to start the browser print dialog box
  9. Click Print to print your template

MAE goes Container

Docker is a platform that allows developers to build, ship, and run applications in lightweight, portable containers. Containers bundle an application and its dependencies into a single package, ensuring consistent behavior across development, testing, and production environments. Docker provides tools to create, manage, and orchestrate these containers, making it easier to deploy and scale applications.

Windows Containers are a specific type of container designed to run on Windows systems. They work similarly to Linux containers but leverage Windows technologies to isolate and manage applications. Windows Containers can run natively on Windows Server or Windows 10/11, supporting .NET applications and other Windows-based workloads. They are essential for modernizing Windows applications and integrating them into containerized environments.

With this M.App Enterprise release we are happy to announce the support of Windows Container on Docker.
