The ArcGIS Explorer Team is pleased to announce that today, at approximately 1:58 p.m. PST, the newest version of ArcGIS Explorer - Explorer 440 - was released.

If the ESRI servers are your home servers, you'll be notified that there is a new version available the next time you start the application. Just follow the instructions to download and install this new release. 

For those that deploy Explorer from your own home servers, you'll need to swap your versions and update your version.html to push out the new release to your users.

This release has lots of new features, check out the What's New document for a detailed list of all the enhancements, changes, and fixes. At the top of our list are ArcIMS improvements, including the ability to access sub-layers, and the addition of new point symbols and the ability to add your own custom point symbols. We'll be covering these in more detail here on the blog.

Feel free to send us your feedback, and let us know what you think. We'll also be monitoring the Explorer support forum to help you with any questions that you may have.
