ArcGIS API for JavaScript Version 3.2 Released

Version 3.2 of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript is now available! Please refer to the What’s New in 3.2 document for the full list of features and bug fixes. Highlights include:

Support for pinch zoom on Android 3+

Android devices running Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich can now use pinch gestures to zoom.

WebTiledLayer and GeoRSS Classes

Two new classes for additional layer types to support open data sources: esri.layers.WebTiledLayer to use any map tileset, regardless of whether it was created with ArcGIS and esri.layers.GeoRSSLayer to display GeoRSS files on a map.

Re-factored CSS

CSS for API components and widgets is now easier to customize. The technical details are outlined in the conceptual help on using the API’s CSS files. Because of this change, apps using version 3.2 of the API must now include a link to esri.css.

ArcGIS Portal API classes are now AMD compliant

At the 3.2 release, the ArcGIS Portal API classes are AMD-compliant. Although this may be the first time you’ve heard of AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition), we recommend that you get familiar with it. Sitepen’s AMD: The Definitive Source and How To Migrate a Module to AMD are both good resources. The ArcGIS API for JavaScript conceptual help topic on AMD is another good resource. Additional API modules will be AMD compliant at a future release. See link below to a sample showing AMD-style usage of Portal classes.

New Samples

The latest version of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript also includes several bug fixes. Please refer to the What’s New in 3.2 document for the full list of updates and fixes.
