Hi,
thinking about the new PNG encoder, I was wondering, what if I make a GSIP
to include it
on trunk as the default PNG encoder, replace the usual checkbox about
choosing the
"native" PNG encoder with a combo box with a drop down having 3 options,
jdk, native
or PNGJ.
Rationale:
* the new PNG encoder is pure java, requires no extra installations, and
provides both performance
and output size benefits
* has a good amount of testing, with checks it can encode more color models
than GeoServer
normally produces in output (all the ones contained in the PNG spec)
* we still have three+ months ahead before the 2.5.0 release, so there is
time to kick its tires
* for any residual corner case the drop down choice will allow admins to
switch to another
encoder
I understand this encoder is "new", but so were the new KML module and the
new shapefile
modules last release (so far it seems it went well for those two, only a
few issues were reported),
and that's precisely the reason for a GSIP.
Just wanted to test the waters and see if anyone would be strongly opposed
to the move.
Cheers
Andrea
