About GeoTools 8.5

This is a bug fix release containing a number of fixes and improvements, including:

  • several fixes to rendering transformations allowing several transformations to be chained together  in the same rendering request (e.g., interpolate values from discrete points and then also extract isolines from it)
  • fixes to date/time handling in CQL
  • spotted and fixed a deadlock in the rendering subsystem happening if the renderer gets abruptly stopped while working against a very fast data source (or a very slow Graphics2D implementation)
  • a new PullParser class allowing for better streaming parsing of large amounts of XML (e.g., GML, KML)
  • better handling of raster "no data" during reprojection, avoiding border artifacts in the results
  • a new Oracle specific filter function exposing Oracle spatials's K nearest neighbor search
Full details are available in Jira's release notes.
