ArcGIS 9.3.1 – Beyond the Buzz
- What will ArcGIS 9.3.1 include?
- It will include many bug fixes that were submitted by users just like service packs do, but will also include many new features that will have a significant positive impact on many users. To see the targeted list of bugs to be included view the 9.3.1 Announcement (Note: the downloadable PDF contains the list.) For more details on what features are going to be included in ArcGIS 9.3.1 for all products, please see ‘What’s coming in ArcGIS 9.3.1’.
- Will there be a download for 9.3.1 available on the ESRI Support Center Website?
- ArcGIS 9.3.1 will automatically be shipped on media to all customers that are current on maintenance for the respective products. There will be an “Upgrade” DVD that will take your existing 9.3 or 9.3 SP1 products and upgrade them to 9.3.1 (no uninstall of 9.3 required).
- For new customers purchasing an ArcGIS product, there will be a full 9.3.1 installation disk.
- When will ArcGIS 9.3.1 be available?
- ArcGIS 9.3.1 is scheduled to be available in the second quarter (Q2) of 2009.
- What about backwards compatibility?
- ArcGIS 9.3.1 is compatible with ArcGIS 9.3 for all aspects of ArcGIS, including geodatabases, maps, and API’s; so you will be able to easily migrate or work in mixed environments of ArcGIS 9.3 and ArcGIS 9.3.1 within the same organization.
- Where can I post feedback about the upcoming 9.3.1 release?
- Check out the Upcoming Release Announcement Forums, these forums are here for you to discuss, ask questions, suggest additions, and give us feedback specific to future ESRI Products. These forums will be monitored by ESRI.

- No, the next release of ArcGIS Software is going to be ArcGIS 9.3.1. This is a minor maintenance release, and is recommended for all users.
