[Geoserver-devel] GeoServer 2.13-beta released

[Torben Barsballe]

We are happy to announce the release of GeoServer 2.13-beta
.
Downloads are available (zip

, war

, and exe
)
along with docs and extensions.

This is a beta release of GeoServer made in conjunction with GeoTools
19-beta.

We want to encourage people to test the release thoroughly and report back
any issue found. With no further delay, let’s see what’s new, that is, what
is there to test!
Isolated Workspaces

The concept of an “Isolated Workspaces” has been added to GeoServer, to
allow for reusing a namespace among multiple workspaces. In particular, an
isolated workspace allows reuse of a namespace already used by another
workspace, but its resources (layers, styles, etc …) can only be retrieved
when using that workspace’s virtual services and will only show up in those
virtual service capabilities documents.

When reusing a namespace among workspaces, exactly one of those must be
non-isolated, and the rest must be isolated; i.e. isolated workspaces have
no restrictions in namespaces usage but the existing restrictions still
apply for non isolated workspaces.

For more details, refer to the original proposal

.
GeoWebCache REST API

Two new endpoints have been added to the GeoWebCache REST API:

   - /gwc/rest/blobstores:
  - GET /gwc/rest/blobstores for a list of the blobstores
  - GET /gwc/rest/blobstores/{blobStoreName} for details about a single
  blobstore
  - PUT /gwc/rest/blobstores/{blobStoreName} to create or update a
  blobstore
  - DELETE /gwc/rest/blobstores/{blobStoreName} to remove a blobstore
   - /gwc/rest/gridsets:
  - GET /gwc/rest/gridsets for a list of the gridsets
  - GET /gwc/rest/gridsets/{gridSetName} for details about a single
  gridset
  - PUT /gwc/rest/gridsets/{gridSetName} to create or update a gridset
  - DELETE /gwc/rest/gridsets/{gridSetName} to remove a gridset

API docs for these endpoints will be added to the GeoServer documentation
shortly. Until then, the request body syntax for PUT requests closely
matched the equivalent structures in geowebcache.xml: BlobStores

 and GridSets

.

The ArcGISCache backed layers are now also configurable via the REST API.

This release sees a major reworking of the configuration system in
GeoWebCache that will allow for plugging in alternate configuration
persistence mechanisms in future. While these changes should be largely
invisible to users, it is a huge update that impacts all of GeoWebCache.
However, due to these changes, we ask that you *please test the embedded
GeoWebCache*.
UI Improvements

Entering in URLs for data files has been improved with autocomplete – now
GeoServer will scan the path that has already been typed, and suggest
existing files within that path.


In addition, autocomplete support has been added to a number of dropdowns
which contain a long list of values, such as stores or layers. You can now
start typing the name of an option, and the visible options will be
filtered to match.

Removed OS X installers

Due to lack of resources and interest, the OS X dmg installers are no
longer being built. OS X users can still use

 the system-independent binary

.
New community modules

The 2.13 series comes with a few new community modules, in particular:

   - Do you want to generate GHRSST compliant outputs from GHRSST inputs?
   Try out the new GHRSST NetCDF output community module.
   - There is also a new community module
   
introducing NSG profiles for the WFS and WMTS services.

Not that community modules are not part of the release; instead you can
find them in the nightly builds
.
Other assorted improvements

There are many bug fixes and improvements to look at in the release notes
,
cherry picking a few here:

   - Autocomplete support for dropdowns with long lists o
