ESRI has announced enhancements for ArcGIS Server in version 9.3. I will shortly summurize the most improtant ones of the new release:
- REST and JavaScript APIs
- Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Services Support
- PostgreSQL Support
- Collaborative Design Activity (COLLADA) File Support
- Improved Performance
- Better Diagnostics
- Enhanced Security
- More Documentation
ArcGIS 9.3 is expected to be available in the third quarter of 2008.
Interesting for Developers:
ArcGIS 9.3 will support Visual Studio 2008 in ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Engine, and ArcGIS Server for customization and development. In addition, ArcGIS 9.3 will continue to support Visual Studio 2005. ArcGIS 9.3 will still have the Visual Basic (VB) 6 Software Developer Kit (SDK) for ArcGIS Engine and ArcGIS Desktop, but it will be the last release that will support VB 6. ArcGIS Server 9.3 will support .NET 3.5.
ArcGIS 9.3 will not support Visual C++ 6.0. In fact, ArcGIS 9.1 was the last release that supported it. However, if you want to do COM Visual C++ development at ArcGIS 9.2 and 9.3, ESRI will support that language via Visual Studio 2005 (not Visual Studio 6).
ArcGIS Server 9.3 will support the following operating systems:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 4.0 Update 2
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10
- Sun Solaris 10 (SPARC)
- Sun Solaris 9 (SPARC)
- Windows 2000 SP4 Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter
- Windows 2003 SP2 Server Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter
- Windows 2003 SP2 (64-bit) Server Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter
- Windows Vista SP1 Ultimate, Enterprise, and Business
- Windows XP SP2 Professional Edition
