Project: QGIS

Version: 3.8

Feature: Much Improved ArcGIS MapServer Handling

We rebuilt the ArcGIS MapServer provider, adding significant improvements over previous versions:

• Tiled layers are now loaded progressively, with immediate feedback
• We significantly optimised the provider, resulting in much faster map redraws
• MapServer layers now correctly respect authentication settings and HTTP referrer settings.
• "Nested" services are correctly shown in the QGIS browser panel
• ImageServer services can be added using the provider

End result: MapServer layers are now silky smooth in QGIS!
