GeoServer 2.9-RC1 Released!
The GeoServer team is pleased to announce GeoServer 2.9-RC1. Downloads are available (zip, war, dmg and exe) along with docs and extensions.
This release is made by Torben Barsballe (Boundless) in conjunction with GeoWebCache 1.9-RC1 and GeoTools 15-RC1.
This is a release candidate for final testing before we release 2.9.0.
Highlights:
-
This release requires Java 8 and is compatible with Oracle JDK and OpenJDK
-
GeoServer now requires Servlet 3 (so Tomcat 7 or newer if you are doing a WAR install)
-
Update to Spring 4 and JAI-EXT to 1.0.9
-
For more information, check the 2.9-beta, 2.9-beta2, and 2.9-M0 release notes.
Fixes since beta:
-
Web interface does not reflect workspace specific WPS enabled/disabled properly
-
Enabling WPS for a workspace doesn’t appear on the GUI after reload
-

GeoServer Community
GeoServer Community modules provide an area for ideas and experimentation. Community highlights for this release:
- Community YSLD: The YSLD styling language provides a more concise alternative to SLD, while still sharing the same structure.
Community modules should be considered a work-in-progress and are subject to quality assurance, documentation IP checks and a maintainer before being considered ready for release.
