the GeoServer 2.3.0 (http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GeoServer+2.3.0)
release. This release represents the successful transition of the project to a
six month timed release
(http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Timed+Release) cycle.
This release contains mostly bug fixes since 9.0-RC1
(http://geotoolsnews.blogspot.it/2013/02/geotools-90-rc1-released.html). Please
see the change log
(http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10270&version=19068)
for more details.
Here is a summary of the major news in the 9.x series:
Feature Collection Clean up
(http://geotoolsnews.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/featurecollection-cleanup.html):
we have retired several methods from FeatureCollection that were only
applicable for in memory feature collections. A Quality Assurance review was
performed on all FeatureCollection implementations resulting in a great
improvement on consistency. Thanks to Jody Garnett and Andrea Aime for this
work.
The Vector Grid (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Vector+grids) module
has graduated from the "unsupported" staging area and is now included as an
extension. Thanks to Micheal Bedward for championing this work.
General support for complex features has been factored out into the gt-complex
(http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Separate+general+complex+feature+classes+from+gt-app-schema)
module for reuse.
FeatureCollection, FeatureIteartor and FeatureReader are Java 7 ready with
support for try-with-resource syntax
(http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Java+7+try-with-resource+compatibility).
Partial 3D data support
(http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Partial+3D+data+support) has been
added with direct support for PostGIS, Oracle, and Property DataStore. Thanks
to Andrea Aime for the initial implementation, with a follow-up funded by NTLIS
(http://www.nt.gov.au/ntlis/) for Oracle support.
Thanks to Niels Charlier for putting together ReferenceEnvelope3D
(http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Support+for+three-dimensional+envelopes+and+bounding+box+filters)
allowing us to query three-dimensional datasets.
WMS client support has greatly improved with WMS 1.3.0 now enabled by default
during version negotiation. Thanks to LISAsoft and the OGC for supporting this
work.
New OGC models have been added for WCS 2.0
(https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-4333) and OWS 2.0
(https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-4332) along with XML support
(https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-4376).
Updated to use the latest ImageIO-Ext 1.1.6
(https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-4370) and JTS 1.13
(https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-4348) releases
The GeoTools 9.0 series contains API changes. Developers are encouraged to
