This release contains two major new features plus many small enhancements and fixes for both the viewer and builder.

Major new features:

  • Added autoplay mode. Autoplay mode is useful if you want to show a story map on a display monitor such as a kiosk in a visitor center, an exhibit, or in an operations center. In autoplay mode the story advances automatically creating a visually interesting and changing display.
  • Improved how the story looks when shared on social media. The story will now use the application item's thumbnail, title, and summary. Builder will now warn the author when item title is not identical to the story title (if the story is public). See Story Maps website FAQ for more details.

Viewer enhancements:

  • Improved the visual look and feel of map's legend by adjusting spacing between elements
  • Improved the look and feel of map's popup by making them match closer the style of ArcGIS Map Viewer
  • Improved the look and feel of map's command (+/home/-) button by decreasing their size
  • Improved the keyboard navigation on the story when embedded in another website by focusing out of the story after the last element
  • When viewing a story that you can edit, the edit and error diagnosis buttons can now be dismissed
  • Prevented the back button to appear when using a Main Stage action that only configure a map pop-up
  • Improved the error message when the story can not be viewed at user's resolution

Downloadable version:

  • Added configuration for utility services like Geocoder in app/config.js
  • Added support for configuring proxy rules in app/config.js (#57)
  • Added support for using oAuth with Portal for ArcGIS
  • Improved the error message when the application ID is not configured
  • Added support to easily allow viewing of stories created by any member of an organization through a the appid URL parameter

Builder enhancements:

  • Modified web map selector results order to be sorted chronologically (latest maps appear first)
  • Enabled authors to preview a story before it is shared
  • Improved how the text editor is checking for unauthorized html input in source view mode, as a result some markup that used to be authorized may not be authorized anymore. Please contact us if you would like to add support for more HTML tags or properties
  • Modified web page dialog to not be sensible to extra white spaces before/after user name (#45)

Viewer fixes:

  • Fixed an issue with sharing the story on Twitter, where the tweet could contains an outdated version of the story title (#51)
  • Added support of the option to enable social link below each section on the mobile view (#49)
  • Disabled social sharing button when the story is private to prevent accidental share of the story
  • In the downloadable version of the application, prevented appending appid in URL when using the option to enable social link below each section is enabled

Builder fixes:

  • Fixed an issue preventing to paste text in the editor in some conditions
  • Fixed an issue with map editor where the save button would never get enabled despite pending changes
  • Fixed an issue where the share dialog would allow user to share a story at a level he was not authorized
