- Scripting:
- An extension has been added that allows scripting by using several programming languages like Jython, Javascript, beanShell or Groovy.
- Project:
- Unified prefenence dialog added
- Networking settings (firewall) now configurable.

- Edition:
- The command console can be hide in edition time.
- Symmetry tool added.
- Multipoint layers can be edited and created from scratch.
- Options to start and finish editing have been added to the layer context menu that opens with the right mouse button.
- Geoprocessing:
- Tho new geoprocesses has been added:
- 2D Translation
- Reprojection
- Tho new geoprocesses has been added:
- View:
- The view can now be centered in a point by specifying the point's coordinates.
- Copy/Cut and Paste views, even among distinct projects is now possible.
- Copy/Cut and Paste layers within a project and into other projects is now possible.
- The Properties dialog of the vector layers now shows much more information about the data source.
- You can now manually set the scale of visualization introducing it from the keyboard.
- The default reference system for the Views is now customizable.
- Layout:
- Exporting to Postcript is possible.
- You can choose which layers should appear in the legend.
- Supported file formats:
- Importing and exporting GML files.
- ArcIMS client:
- Added support for accessing this kind of servers.
- Locator:
- The coordinate reference system is the same than the one in the view.
- It is possible to choose the coordinate reference system of the added layers, only vector layers, so it is possible to handle cartography coded with distinct reference systems.
- WMS Service:
- If the WMS Server has a legend available for a layer, this legend is now shown in the TOC.
- WFS Service:
- A new tab has been added to the WFS loading dialog to apply filters in searches.
