This release is also available from our maven repository, and is made in conjunction with GeoWebCache 1.7-RC1 and GeoServer 2.7-RC1.
We would like your feedback on these new features and improvements:
- GeoPackage support is now compatible with QGIS and OGR.
- The rendering engine has been overhauled with two new features:
- Color-blending has been introduced as both a FeatureTypeStyle and Symbolizer vendorExtension allowing for a range of special effects. Thanks to Cleveland Metro Parks for this improvement.
- A FeatureTypeStyle vendorExtension "firstMatch" will stop at the first rule.
- Anchor points are now supported.
- The gt-css module is a brand-new implementation of css style support
written in Java. Thanks to Andrea for brining this exciting approach to
styling within easy reach of Java developers.
- A new gt-solr data store is available for working with with Apache Solr
- AbstractDataStore is now deprecated - please make plans to migrate to ContentDataStore.
- There is an extensive ContentDataStore Tutorial to help with your migration. Thanks to Travis for updating the initial tutorial used at FOSS4G.
- PropertyDataStore has now been ported to use ContentDataStore, and a
wide range of issues have been resolved during extensive QA testing
(readers, events, transactions). We would like to thank Torben for this
extensive work.
- CSVDataStore has been improved with write access and the ability to
work with different kinds of CSV files (including lat/lon and WKT). Thanks to
Travis for this work.
- The gt-wfs client has improved:
- Better compatibility with MapServer.
