With the pending release of ArcGIS 10.1, Service Pack 5 might be the last update big for ArcGIS 10.0. That is just a guess on my part. However based on my past experience it think it is a pretty good one. I would expect only minor patches to address major problems after Service Pack 5 is released.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Service Pack 4, released in March, fixed over 7 pages of issues with ArcGIS (Desktop, Server, Engine, Mobile, & SDE). It also caused a few. One of the biggest being Spatial Joins no longer worked. Esri has recently released a patch to fix this issue. <a href="http://www.appliedspatialintel.com/?p=129">Click here to read more</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Esri is planning to release Service Pack 5 for ArcGIS 10 in July. While not as big as Service Pack 4, it only addresses 4 pages of issues, it will include all the patches for issues caused by Service Pack 4 plus many more.
