The GeoTools community is happy to bring you the latest GeoTools 10-RC2 download:
As an alternative to downloading this release has been deployed to our maven repository.

This release is made in conjunction with GeoServer 2.4-RC2 containing a few last minute fixes before FOSS4G. We would to thank everyone who has helped out with testing.

Please see the GeoTools 10-RC2 Release Notes for additional details.

If you are working with a projects that uses GeoTools please take a moment to try out GeoTools-10-RC2. This is your chance to check for any regressions or integration issues prior to the stable 10.0 release.

About GeoTools 10.x Series

Summary of the new features for the GeoTools 10.x series:
  • Structured grid coverage readers allow raster data sources that publish composite data products to expose individual rasters (ie granules) for processing, while still providing a seamless experience for rendering. The mosaic and NetCDF modules are the first ones to implement these new interfaces.
  • Efficient support for multiple coverages in GridCoverageReader provides ad-hoc access to raster formats that publish more that one data product. A image mosaic made of NetCDF granules and single file NetCDF sources are the first implementors of these new capabilities
  • A new implementation of Shapefile DataStore (based on ContentDataStore superclass). This upgrade should be seamless for all users using DataStoreFactoryFinder. If you explicitly made use of the ShapefileDataStore or IndexedShapefileDataStore class please check the upgrade instructions.
  • The transform module graduated to supported status, providing a seamless way to rename, retype and hide SimpleFeatureSource attributes, as well as creating new ones based on OGC Expression
  • Additional OGC modules for the WCS 2.0 and WCS 2.0 EO models as well as adding XML parsers and encoders
The 10.x series has a number of research and development activities that may be of interest:
  • NetCDF has been updated to take advantage of the new coverage API introduced above
  • GeoPackage: a sample implementation of the geopackage spec that is currently being developed by the OGC
While exciting, this functionally is looking for volunteers and/or funding to meet our quality assurance standards. If you are interested please introduce yourself on geotools-devel (or check out options for commercial support).

Enjoy,

GeoTools 9.3 Released

GeoTools 9.3 Released

The GeoTools community is pleased to announce the availability of GeoTools 9.3 for download from SourceForge:
This release has also been deployed to the OSGeo Maven Repository.

Please see the Release Notes for details. This release is made in conjunction with GeoServer 2.3.3.

A few thanks to the community on the quality assurance front:
  • Support for reading files out of a jar. Thanks to Farrukh Najmi for looking into this very tricky issue. This is one of the few patches we have had to accept without a test case as it could only reliably be reproduced using JNLP.
  • Christian Mueller continues his excellent work on JDBC support with fixes to DB2 oracle compatibility mode and addressing extent calculation performance
  • Mauro Bartolomeoli has been looking at axis order fixes for WFSDataStore, while Andrea Aime has been looking at similar issues with the WMS client, while Christian Mueller allowed for user control axis-order to imagemoasaic-jdbc
We would like to thank all contributors for making this release possible.

Update:

A special call out to users on twitter (@GeoFootballer) and email (Shi Wei Yu, Brett Walker) who helped with the pre-flight testing of the 9.3 release. Any help testing on windows is always welcome, and we were able to fix up a couple of headers.

With that in mind thanks to Jon Skeet for permission to distribute JtsTokenizer on such short notice, and Ben for clarification on the DateUtils header.  The GeoTools license page is easier to follow as a result.

If you would like to help test next month check in with the team on #GeoTools or geotools-devel.

This release was brought to you by Jody Garnett from LISAsoft.
