•New feature: KML import support for the MultiGeometry element

•Improvement: Significant speed improvements for the Excel Pushpin Export

•Improvement: Minor improvements in shape manipulation efficiency

•Bug fix: On rare occasions, shapes were not being dropped correctly in memory

•Bug fix: Handles a wider range of format variations in coordinate lists during KML/GML import

•Bug fix: KML FillStyle Fill values should default to 'true' (ie. apply fill)

•Bug fix: Code to handle MapPoint 2006's "default fill applied to open lines" bug during shape import (KML,MIF,GML)

•Bug fix: Improved handling of 'minimalist' MIF files during import

•Bug fix: Better detection of out-of-range coordinates for UTM projections supported by SHP and MIF file export

v2.4, Release Date: 2nd June 2010

•New feature: Excel Pushpin Workbook feature to export pushpins to Excel on a shape-by-shape basis

•Bug fix: License keys not being accepted properly in some rare cases

v2.3, Release Date: 5th May 2010

•New feature: Ability to change the colors and line thickness of all of the selected shapes

•Bug fix: Non-Euclidean (spherical Earth) correction now applied to Boundary Shape calculations

v2.1, Release Date: 2nd December 2009

•New feature: Simplify Shape operation to reduce the number of vertices. This can be used to reduce disk space and improve MapPoint performance for overly-detailed shapes.

•New feature: Delete Shapes operation

•New feature: Support for shared edges with the union and intersection operations

•New feature: Ability to set the colors and line thickness used for new shapes

•Speed improvements, especially for the Union, Intersection, Select All, and Drop All operations

•New feature: Ability to export MapInfo MIF and MID files

•New feature: Ability to export ESRI Shape files (SHP, SHX, DBF, and PRJ)

•New feature: GML import/export options now support linestrings (open freeform shapes)

•New feature: Companion DBF files imported for point features in ESRI Shape (SHP) files

•New feature: Support for different projections and coordinate systems with SHP and MIF import/export

•Branding change: Changed references from "Microsoft Virtual Earth" to "Microsoft Bing Maps"

•Bug fix: MapInfo import process mapped the shape colors incorrectly

•Bug fix: Incorrect fill visibility for GML export of "all shapes"

•Bug fix: Pushpin Export failure with very large numbers of pushpin sets.

•Bug fix: Attempts to export built-in demographic data led to fatal errors (demographic data now ignored)

•Bug fix: Incorrect application of system localization settings for many data formats (KML, GML, MIF, DBF)
