Release notes

ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal Engine now supports Linux. The supported version is Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

With this release, you can now display attribution details in your application. These details include descriptive information about the data sources used by the application next to the Powered by Esri text in all applications that use Esri technology. This includes applications that use any ArcGIS API, SDK, service, content, or data. Displaying the attribution is required for all applications that contain a map or do not contain a map. These requirements are outlined in detail in the Attribution topic.

Support for draw status is added with this release. Use this status to determine whether the content of a view is still drawing or drawing is complete. The drawing state of the view might change when zooming in or out, panning, or performing other actions that require the map to be redrawn.

• ArcGISAttributionChangedEvent event has been added so that when the ArcGISView attributions has changed, a callback is triggered.
• ArcGISDrawStatus enum value has been added to support different statuses of drawing in the GeoView.
• ArcGISDrawStatusChangedEvent event has been added so that when the draw status changes, a callback function can be triggered.
• AttributionText property has been added under ArcGISView.
