New Features and Improvements
The following new features and improvements are available in this release:
*Data Stores*
- GeoPackage support is now compatible with QGIS and OGR.
- A new gt-solr data store
<http://docs.geotools.org/stable/userguide/library/data/solr.html> is
available for working with with *Apache Solr
<http://lucene.apache.org/solr/>*. Thanks to Andrea Aime and Justin
Deoliveira for this work.
- CSVDataStore has been improved with write access and the ability to
work with different kinds of CSV files (including lat/lon and WKT). Thanks
to Travis Brundage for this work.
- AbstractDataStore is now deprecated. Please make plans to migrate to
ContentDataStore. There is an extensive ContentDataStore tutorial
<http://docs.geotools.org/stable/userguide/tutorial/datastore/index.html> to
help with your migration.
- PropertyDataStore has now been ported to use ContentDataStore, and a
wide range of issues (readers, events, transactions) have been resolved for
all DataStore implementations. Thanks to Torben Barsballe for this
extensive QA work.
*CSS Module*
- The gt-css module
<http://docs.geotools.org/stable/userguide/unsupported/css.html> is a
brand-new implementation of CSS-style support, now written in Java. Thanks
to Andrea Aime for bringing this exciting approach to styling within easy
reach of Java developers. Here is a quick code example:
Stylesheet ss = CssParser.parse(css);
CssTranslator translator = new CssTranslator();
Style style - translator.translate(ss);
*Rendering Engine*
- Color-blending has been introduced as both a FeatureTypeStyle
<http://docs.geotools.org/stable/userguide/library/render/style.html#featuretypestyle>
and Symbolizer
<http://docs.geotools.org/stable/userguide/library/render/style.html#symbolizer>
vendorExtension,
allowing for a range of special effects
<http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/styling/sld-extensions/composite-blend.html>.
Thanks to Cleveland Metro Parks <http://www.clevelandmetroparks.com/> for
this improvement.
- A FeatureTypeStyle
<http://docs.geotools.org/stable/userguide/library/render/style.html#featuretypestyle>
vendorExtension
named "firstMatch". This vendorExtension will grab the first rule you
specify. This can in many situations help you avoid more
complicated logic for
style rules.
<sld:VendorOption name="ruleEvaluation">first</sld:VendorOption>
- Anchor points are now supported. This is done in SLD with the
AnchorPoint tag:
<LabelPlacement>
<PointPlacement>
<AnchorPoint>
<AnchorPointX>
<PropertyName>X</PropertyName>
</AnchorPointX>
<AnchorPointY>
<PropertyName>Y</PropertyName>
</AnchorPointY>
</AnchorPoint>
</PointPlacement>
</LabelPlacement>
*WFS Client*
The gt-wfs client has improved:
- Better compatibility with MapServer.
- Extensive work has been done to support WFS 2.0 transactions. Thanks
to Niels Charlier for this work.
- The gt-wfs client now supports WFS 2.0 stored queries. Thanks to Sampo
Savolainen for this work.
*And more*
Documentation continues to improve, now with a complete function list
<http://docs.geotools.org/stable/userguide/library/main/function_list.html>
. For a full list of improvements and changes in GeoTools 13, please see
