ArcGIS API for JavaScript ^3.29

Directions widget now includes support for barriers

The Directions widget now supports working with showBarriersButton to determine optimal routing. This adds a restriction line barrier, which prohibits travel where the barrier intersects the route. The route dynamically changes the directions to avoid the barrier. For example, you may add a line barrier if there is a parade or protest that blocks traffic on your route. If this is the case, the route would automatically get diverted around that barrier.

Planetary measurements

Measurement widget and Scalebar widget have been updated to support many non-Earth projections, such as for the Moon, Mars, Venus. This allows you to properly measure craters on the moon or plan your next trip to Mars.

More detailed Bing road data in certain areas

The Bing Maps tiles used in VETiledLayer have been improved. For example, it now includes detailed street data for China.

Support for Hindi locale

Version 3.20 adds support for the Hindi (hi) locale. See Localization topic for more information about using different locales.
