A set of CAD like editing tools were also added in this release. The primary enhancements in these releases included the use of a new graphics engine which allows for translucency and anti-aliasing when displaying maps. Version 9.5.1 was released in December 2008. Version 4 of the product, released in 1995, saw the product renamed to 'MapInfo Professional'. The MapCode development environment was replaced with a new language called MapBasic. MapInfo was redesigned with an easier-to-use graphical user interface and was also made available for the UNIX and Macintosh operating systems. The DOS product was eventually discontinued and replaced by MapInfo for Microsoft Windows in 1990. The name was subsequently changed to just 'MapInfo' upon its second release. This software could be customized by using the MapCode development environment which was a C-like programming language. At this time it was available only for the DOS operating system. MapInfo Pro was first released in 1986 as the Mapping Display and Analysis System (MIDAS) and was the first desktop GIS product on the market.
