We have recently restored automated postgis testing on our build box, Torben has the details on what versions are used (I imagine it is the latest since that is what are working against).
If you would like to build and test geotools and geoserver with a more recent driver we would be interested in your feedback. The GeoTools developers guide has some instructions on setting up the "online tests" used to work against your local PostGIS. The tests are self contained and will create the tables required before use. -- Jody Garnett On 3 June 2015 at 21:45, Jason Newmoyer <[email protected]> wrote: > GeoServer devs, > > I noticed in the 2.7.1 war distro that it is > using postgresql-8.4-701.jdbc3.jar.
