We also welcome our newest committer, Davide Savazzi, and thank him for the work on Freemarker template through the REST API and the title and abstract support in layer groups, as well as the SDO_NN work back in GeoTools.

GeoServer 1.4.0-M2 with WCS released

Ben Caradoc-Davies — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 13:28:38 -0000

This release works against Java 1.4.2+, GeoTools 2.3.0-M0, JAI 1.1.4+ and ImageIO 1.1+.

ArcGrid module is not working well on this release because the new one, all refactored and based and ImagioIO interfaces, is available on Geotools since version 2.4.x.

The next release will have ArcGrids and GRIBs back plus a lot of other plugins :)

Thanks,
Alessio.

http://geoserver.org - new homepage!

Ben Caradoc-Davies — Tue, 15 Nov 2005 20:45:56 -0000

GeoServer has acquired a new homepage, made sooner by sourceforge dropping support for mysql 3, which our old postnuke page relied upon. We've been in the process of porting to a wiki for awhile, and are close to done. The location of the actual wiki is a bit weird, so we just decided to use http://geoserver.org to point you in the right direction. Soon we'll get that domain itself up to snuff. But please check out the new page, and please give us feedback, or things are wrong, just fix it up yourself!

GeoServer 1.0.0 released

Ben Caradoc-Davies — Wed, 01 Oct 2003 20:37:49 -0000

GeoServer is a full transactional Java (J2EE) implementation of the OpenGIS Consortium's Web Feature Server specification. Release 1.0.0 has been completely tested against the official OGC WFS test engine and supports Postgis, Oracle and Shapefile formats. Please visit http://geoserver.sf.net

GeoServer is built as a thin servlet layer on top of the latest beta release of GeoTools (http://geotools.org), another excellent sourceforge project. The server allows users to share geographic information using GML. GeoServer was originally written on top of Postgis, a spatial extension to PostgreSQL, and now also supports Shapefile and Oracle Spatial formats, with more coming every day. It is fully transactional, meaning users can modify their backend data using update and locking operations on the web. Feature filtering is also fully supported, in the backend data stores for speed where possible.

The 1.0.0 release is an important milestone. The server has been fully tested as the reference implementation of the OGC's Web Feature Service Specification. Our association with the GeoTools team led to a number of improvements, including the additional data formats, connection pooling, and the internal feature model. And our users have proven invaluable for testing beta versions and providing bug reports, fixes, and feedback.

Future improvements will include an integrated Web Map Service (WMS), a web administration interface, strong transactional locking, and greater speed and efficiency. The release can be downloaded at:

FreeFS and Geoserver Merger

Ben Caradoc-Davies — Thu, 17 Jan 2002 23:08:53 -0000

Since the FreeFS and Geoserver projects are working towards the same goals with respect to creating good geo-data software, we have decided to merge the projects. I'll post more as more information is available.

Dec. Notes

Ben Caradoc-Davies — Wed, 12 Dec 2001 02:53:35 -0000

A few notes regarding the project...

1. I've been in contact with the FreeFS and MapBuilder projects and after an e-mail dialogue with them, I'm working on synchronizing the GDTP syntax to be more in line with OpenGIS's WFS. It is not close to complete by any means, but I'll keep updates posted.

2. I've uploaded some Five Blues Lake data in the gdtp2svg and Project Maps sections. They are far from polished, but do represent some progress.

3. MycoMap is under construction and proceeding well.

4. I hope to provide some GML base maps of the United States, including roads and borders as soon as I can figure out how to extract the data points from the transportation data I have on CD-ROM (Courtesy of US Gov't.). I'll post updates here...

Geoserver v.0.85 Release

Ben Caradoc-Davies — Thu, 06 Dec 2001 22:32:04 -0000

The Geoserver project is focused on creating an open client-server specification standard for geographical and mapping applications.

So, I've finally gotten around to releasing the Geoserver reference server code that I've been working on. It is a .tar.gz with the Java source in the src/ directory and the installation documents in the docs/ directory. I've also released a "GDTP User's Guide" at the same time in order to illustrate how queries to the server are made and what types of results to expect.

I was intending to release a "Geoserver User's Guide" also, but have since burned out writing documentation. It's still under construction, and I'll release it once I get it complete.

I should probably that this software is still BETA software, so no warranties are implied and its not even guaranteed that it will run on your machine. However, if there are problems or bugs, please log them in the bug tracker that SourceForge has so generously provided so that I can work to release better and better projects.

Any questions and/or flames should be sent to br284@users.sourceforge.net.

Forums Open

At the request of an anonymous user, I have opened up the forums for use. Feel free to comment on the project there.

(Back to working in features...)
