Today we released Cartographica 1.5.3, which is a bug fix and feature enhancement release. This version builds on Cartographica 1.5, released in June and provides some specific bug fixes.

Cartographica 1.5.3 is available to all users with a Cartographica license.

Formal release notes are on macgis.com Release Notes, but here are the highlights:

• Fixed error message truncation on ODBC Drivers [CARTOMAC-1954]
• Improved raster image printing on 11 (Big Sur) [CARTOMAC-1947]
• Updated creation control in MapLayout
• Fixed crash in calculating nearest distance
• Restored functioning centroid for Z points in calculated columns [CARTOMAC-1950]
• Fixed crash when resizing windows with overviewed geometries [CARTOMAC-1930]
• Fixed crash in making convex hulls if one of the features contains no geometry data [CARTOMAC-1926]
• Fixed crash in calculating nearest distance

OS compatibility

Cartographica 1.5 supports macOS X High Sierra and later (10.13.6+). Going forward, we'll likely move to adopt new Apple technologies sooner and that's likely to not only result in quicker release cycles, but will mean moving the minimum requirements more quickly than we have in the past.

Cartographica 1.5.3 is compatible with macOS 11.
