The GeoTools 2.5-M3 milestone release is available for download:
* http://geotools.codehaus.org/2.5-M3
The GeoTools 2.5 series has been updated to use *Java 5*, and has
undergone many improvements. This release is centred around making a new
Feature model available. The new feature model is based on formal GeoAPI
interfaces and allows the library to work complex data structures.
Thanks to everyone who provided feedback on our new Feature model. This
release contains several usability improvements based on your feedback;
thanks also go out to Andrea who spent some time with a profiler to
minimize the performance cost associated with this change.
There are no further API chances planned for the 2.5.x series; we have
started formal branch and are treating this as a stable branch. Both the
GeoServer and uDig projects have successfully migrated, you should make
your migration plans now; we expect a a release candidate as soon as
GeoServer passes a few more CITE tests.
