Version 5.8 released, Basic deprecated, users upgraded to Pro

Tuesday, January 9th, 2024



Packrafting in Utah

We’ve got a new release out that fixes a bunch of server issues and a few other tweaks.

Going forward we have eliminated the Basic version of the software. There is now only the Pro version, and that may be renamed to simply “TopoFusion” in the future.

All users that have a Basic version license are automatically upgraded to the Pro version. They can download all future updates by using the same name/code combo from the usual place.

We also removed Mapquest OSM and Open Aerial map types. They were redundant and also water marked. We did not find them useful and they often failed due to a 15,000 tile limit. So for simplicity they have been removed. Fortunately in v5.78 there were some excellent new additions of aerial, terrain and street maps.
