GeoTools 14-beta Released

The GeoTools team is pleased to announce GeoTools 14-beta
This release is made by Jody Garnett (Boundless) in conjunction with GeoServer 2.8-beta.

This release is a feature complete "beta" giving our community a chance to test before GeoTools 14.0 is shipped. Due to an influx of new features we have pushed back this beta release leaving a narrow one week opportunity for testing.

Fixes and improvements:
  • Stable date/time literal conversion to sql (when running in different timezones)

  • Transaction is auto closable for use with java try-with-resource syntax
  • Allow extshape://arrow to receive parameters to specify its proportions [GEOT-5126]
  • Add projections for gnomonic (AUTO:97001) and stereographic (AUTO:97002) and WorldVanDerGrintenI use.
  • DB2 performance setting giving priority to the spatial index
  • Add read and write support for curves in Postgis data store [GEOT-5100GEOT-5112]
