Direct import of Aster satellite images level 1a and 1b, including all needed geometric and radiometric corrections. This functionality is integrated in the Import Map Wizard.

Stereopair from DTM - Stereo pair from DTM operation creates a stereo pair from a single raster map and a Digital Terrain Model (DTM). These stereo pairs have the same usability as the Epipolar Stereo Pair.

ID Grid map - creates a polygon map given a coordinate system and an attribute table. The polygon map consists of rectangular grid cells with a unique ID and can be linked to a table with attribute data when sample data is available.

Spherical Distance option was added to the operations Spatial Correlation, Cross Variogram, Nearest Point, Moving Average, Moving Surface, Kriging and CoKriging. This option calculates distances over the sphere instead of in a plane.

Export to ArcPad .PRJ - ILWIS coordinate systems can be exported to an ArcPad .prj file.

ILWIS becomes a raster + vector GIS / remote sensing shareware software and is offered for 100 Euro per license after 1 month

WICE launches http://www.ilwis.org as a ILWIS-users website.

Spatial Multiple Criteria Evaluation (SMCE)

Extensions in Spatial Multiple Criteria Evaluation - Slicing, histograms, aggregated values, and an improvement in class map standardization.

Improvement in calling external executable files - Support for parameter passing, wait-till-finished option and error handling, and inclusion in a script as part of a batch process.

Support for coordinates for images from the MeteoSat-8 satellite.

The SMCE application extended with overlay of reference maps, combination of spatial and non-spatial MCE, and interactive function graphs for standardization.

New applications for DEM hydro-processing implemented, like topological optimization, drainage network extraction, catchment extraction, horton statistics etc.

Georeferencing with additional supports up to 8 fiducial marks, sub-pixel precision and 3D coordinate transformations using 7 or 10 datum parameters.

Import and export using the GDAL library.

Projections for geostationary satellites.

Calculation and statistical functions for map lists.

Improvements in the Hydrologic Flow Operations - Flow Direction now includes parallel drainage correction over flat surface, added a 'cut terrain' option to Fill sinks, and added operations 'Flow Length to Outlet' and 'Flow Path Longitudinal Profile'.

The SMCE application was extended with options to generate contour maps from suitability maps, and to directly view the standardized version of any of the criteria.

Added Hungarian EOV projection and 1972 Datum, the Mercator Scaled projection, the GRS 67 ellipsoid, and ellipsoidal cases for the Goode, Mollweide and cylinder Sinusoidal projections.

GPL version from 52° N with proprietary components removed.

1. Full integration of GDAL, a library that offers access to many raster formats;
2. ILWIS supports Postgres tables and Postgis point and segment maps through native access from a Postgis database. A first implementation has been made to access these sources of data. It will be further extended in the future; 
3. Extension and improvements of the SEBS functionality.
4. User interface for Import has been improved to support a plug-in model for imports. They now largely follow a plug-in model (some old ones excepted). New imports can be added without changing ILWIS.
5. The plug-in model has been extended to cover plug-ins stored in zip files that need their own folder structure to organize their functionality.
6. Surface energy balancing (SEBS) has been extended and improved.
7. Improved Installation program
