Recent releases


Changes: This release includes a new extension providing chart rendering in WMS maps, data store factories that can pick up the connection pool from JNDI for Oracle and DB2, a number of SDE improvements, especially to raster handling and scalability, the ability to set limits to time, memory and error counts generated by each WMS request, a new datastore that can handle vector data pyramids to speed up WMS and WFS data serving, and a number of improvements in the REST configuration interface.


Changes: The focus of version 2.0 is the new user interface. Support has also been added for cascading delete, batch removal of layers, paging and filtering of lists, and the elimination of the Submit-Apply-Save workflow.

Changes: This alpha release showcases the new user interface based on the Wicket framework as well as improved workflows and a new data directory structure.


Changes: This release has improved support for ArcSDE rasters, CSV/Excel output formats, and namespace filtering for capabilities documents. New extensions were added for REST configuration, JDBC image mosaic, and shapefile directories, making it easier to load and configure data.
