GeoServer 2.27.2 release is now available with downloads (bin, war, windows), along with docs and extensions.

This is a stable release of GeoServer recommended for production use. GeoServer 2.27.2 is made in conjunction with GeoTools 33.2, and GeoWebCache 1.27.2.

Thanks to Peter Smythe (AfriGIS) for making this release.

CITE certification achieved

The GeoServer team are really pleased to announce that our long-lost CITE Certification has been regained (for 2.27) over the last 6 months.

OGC CITE Certification is important for two reasons:

  • Provides a source of black-box testing ensuring that each GeoServer release behaves as intended.
  • Provides a logo and visibility for the project helping to promote the use of open standards.

Many thanks to all who were involved! After approximately 10 years, we can once again officially confirm that GeoServer is OGC compliant. Thank you especially to Gaia3D and OSGeo:UK for sponsorship covering the expense of CITE Certification for 2025.

For more details, please read the separate announcement.

Community Updates

We list these community modules purely as a service to the community to raise awareness of interesting add-ons to support, if there is sufficient common interest. They are not “production ready”.

How to make contact: browse the GitHub repo (https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/tree/main/src/community > module > History) to see who:

  • a) made the original commit,
  • b) has been making changes (other than refactoring/dependency updates).

If you want to use a community module (in production), YOU need to arrange funding to:

  • a) promote it to an official extension (passing tests, etc.) and
  • b) maintain it going forward.
