This new updates comes packed with a bundle of new enhancements and corresponds with the recent release of ArcGIS 9.3 Service Pack 1. While this release lines up with the ArcGIS 9.3 Service Pack 1, you can still make use of the ArcGIS 9.3 JavaScript API 1.2 even if you do not have ArcGIS 9.3 Service Pack 1 installed.

Some of the new features that ArcGIS 9.3 JavaScript API 1.2 offers include:

• Support for ArcGIS Image Server Services
• Support for Dojo 1.2
• More flexibility with cached and dynamic layers
• Refreshable map layers
• Improved graphics performance
• Projection of dynamic map services on the fly
• New methods for the geometry service
• Bug fixes
