GeoServer 2.21.3 release is now available with downloads (bin, war, windows), along with docs and extensions.

This is a maintenance release of the GeoServer 2.21.x series, made in conjunction with GeoTools 27.3 and GeoWebCache 1.21.3.

Thanks to Andrea Aime (GeoSolutions) and Jody Garnett (GeoCat) for making this release.

Notables changes

Among the many changes included in this release, we’d like to point out:

  • Ability to report PostgreSQL column comments in WFS DescribeFeatureType output (needs a store flag to enable).
  • Ability to turn on and off GetFeature output formats, much like the existing WMS controls over GetMap/GetFeatureInfo output formats.
  • Fixed concurrent edit of users, roles and data access rules thorough the REST API.
  • Fixed database connection leak while editing SQL views in the GUI.
