ArcGIS API for JavaScript – the next generation<\/SPAN><\/H3><\/P>At least as a beta the JavaScript API 4.0 is available since today. The biggest innovation is of course the 3D support. In addition, however, the API is also being revised so that it becomes simpler and more consistent. <\/SPAN><\/P>IMPORTANT information:<\/SPAN><\/P>This is the 1st beta version, a "developer preview" with limited functionality. There is no support during the beta phase. For feedback and questions the forum should be used. Further betas will be released during the year. The final release is planned only for next year. Therefore the current version will continue to be developed and there will probably be further 3.X releases.<\/SPAN><\/P>Link to the API<\/SPAN><\/P>https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/beta/ <\/><\/> Link to the blog http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2015/07/16/arcgis-api-for-javascript-version-4-0-beta-1-released/
