We are pleased to announce the release of GeoServer 2.18.2 with downloads ( war | bin ), documentation and extensions.

This release is made in conjunction with GeoTools 24.2 and GeoWebCache 1.18.2. This is a stable release recommended for production systems.

Thanks to everyone who contributed, and Alessandro Parma, Andrea Aime (GeoSolutions) for making this release.

Improvements and Fixes

This release includes a number of fixes in core and extensions:

• Improved GWC seeding scalability (also check GWC 1.18.2 release notes).
• Fixed back-links generation during WPS asynchronous requests, when a proxy base URL is used.
• Fixed a GeoFence server packaging issue.
• A number of dependent libraries have been upgraded, including the PostgreSQL and MySQL JDBC drivers, HTTP components, Guava.

Community Updates

Things get really interesting when looking at functionality provided by community modules:

• The new support for COGs based on ImageIO Ext landed in a community module, adding it adds support for COG in both the GeoTIFF reader and image mosaic. Support for harvesting COG granules is also added in the REST API.
• A deadlock in JDBCConfig has been resolved, along with issues related to high load when GeoServer has just started up.
• The WPS download “map” and “animation” processes sport improved legend support.

We are pleased to announce the release of GeoServer 2.17.4 with downloads ( war | bin ), documentation and extensions.

This release is made in conjunction with GeoTools 23.4 and GeoWebCache 1.17.4. This is a maintenance release recommended for production systems. You are reminded that this is most likely to be the last release made on the 2.17 branch and you should consider moving to the stable 2.18 branch as soon as possible.

Thanks to everyone who contributed, and Ian Turton (Astun Technology) & Jody Garnett (GeoCat) for making this release.

Improvements and Fixes

This release includes a number of improvements. Notable improvements:

• [GEOS-9753] - Features-templating plug-in allows env parametrization on vendorOptions
• [GEOS-9765] - Add IP Address range to GeoFence UI
• [GEOS-9780] - status page shows (read-only) loopback partitions

Fixes included in this release:

• [GEOS-9689] - WFS-NG Other SRS in URN OGC format are not matched by WMS Request SRS
• [GEOS-9750] - WPS processes fail with missing CSV dependencies
• [GEOS-9754] - Not consistent array element enumeration in flat GeoJson output format
• [GEOS-9758] - CRS Panel overrides URN SRS format with EPSG:XXXX format
• [GEOS-9791] - GeoJSON bounding box axis order wrongly encoded when CRS axis order is NORTH-EAST
• [GEOS-9816] - Download links from the result of an asynchronous process will not honor the proxy base URL, if it uses HTTP header variables

This release is made in conjunction with GeoTools 24.1 and GeoWebCache 1.18.1. This is a stable release recommended for production systems.

Thanks to everyone who contributed, and Alessandro Parma, Andrea Aime (GeoSolutions) for making this release.

Improvements and Fixes

This release includes a number of improvements. Notable improvements:

• New option allow to tile cache WMS requests that align to gridsets, even if tiled=true is not present.
• New process grouping features by attribute, and then selecting a single one out of the group, in particular, the feature with the min or max value of a given attribute. Can be used either as a rendering transformation or a stand-alone WPS process.
• GeoFence integrated UI allows to configure security rules by IP address ranges.

Fixes included in this release:

• Better WPS packaging, including the required CSV libraries.
• Better support for WMS XML post requests in workspace local services.
• Addressed incompatibility with macOS 11 preventing startup

We are pleased to announce the release of GeoServer 2.17.3 with downloads ( war | bin ), documentation and extensions.

This release is made in conjunction with GeoTools 23.3 and GeoWebCache 1.17.3. This is a maintenance release recommended for production systems.

Thanks to everyone who contributed, and Alessandro Parma, Andrea Aime (GeoSolutions) for making this release.

Improvements and Fixes

This release includes a number of improvements. Notable improvements:

• SLDService can now advertise supported classification methods (for future proofing clients, in case new methods are added later down the road). A new standard deviation based classification method has been added.
• App-schema generating simple feature outputs (pure mapping) can now be used with all the common simple feature formats too, like shapefile, CSV, KML and so on.
• It’s possible to disable auto-complete of the UI login
• Importer has been optimized to avoid full directory scans while importing single files. This coupled with similar optimizations in image mosaic harvesting, speeds up significantly harvesting new files via importer, when contained in directories having many files.
• The vector tiles output can now get full benefit from a pre-generalized data source, reading the features at the resolution required to generate the vector tiles (was previously using the highest resolution available).
• The Jiffle process/rendering transformation can now generate multi-band outputs, and its performance received a few improvements.

Fixes included in this release:

• Memory management of raster GDAL sources has been improved.
• Layer preview with strict WMS compliance was not working any longer, this has been fixed.

Community Updates

For developers building from source, our community modules are a great place to collaborate on functionality and improvements.

• The wfs-templating module has received a few improvements, and has been renamed to features-templating, to clarify it can be used with OGC API - Feautures, as well as WFS.
