Digimap Ordnance Survey Collection data update

Digimap have announced a number of updates to their service, which are as follows (quoted from a Digimap email):

Updated licensed data
On Tuesday 31 August 2010 EDINA released all available updates for data provided through Digimap's Ordnance Survey Collection. Details of the versions of all the data offered can be found on the EDINA website.

OS OpenData - NEW
In addition to the licensed data products, all the OS OpenData is also now available through Digimap. You can find most of the OS OpenData products through the Data Download facility. BoundaryLine is available through the Boundary Download facility. Digimap continues to offer full flexibility in identifying and downloading the data you want for all products. Although the OS OpenData products are available from Ordnance Survey's website directly, search and select options are limited.

Other Digimap Collections
Other Digimap Collections have also undergone some improvements recently. Historic Digimap now has a new data download facility called Historic Download, offering the ability to download larger quantities of data in a single request. The new mapping facility called Ancient Roam is alsobecoming well established, offering an updated and much easier to use mapping interface. The previous facility (also known as Historic Digimap) will be withdrawn at the end of 2010. Ancient Roam and the new Historic Download facility will remain beyond this date. Geology Digimap also has a new Geology Roam mapping interface offering easier map browsing functions and the ability to fade between the geology overlay and the backdrop mapping.
