[Geoserver-devel] 2.0-beta2 release is up

Hi all,

The 2.0-beta2 release is up. I have done the best I can to test all the main artifacts and make sure they are good to go.

If folks could help test out some of the extensions to make sure they are also good to go before we announce, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks very much for that, Justin. I am running a test.

The PDF documentation link is broken, and there do not appear to be any PDF docs in the sourceforge file listing.

I tested the published 2.0-beta2 war together with the app-schema and oracle plugins, and WFS appears to be working correctly.

Yeah, I don't have latex installed on my mac, and a quick google search it did not seem obvious. I have done it before though. However, I figure someone who already has it installed might be able to generate the pdf docs.

Justin, I have created the PDF docs following the procedure documented in the release guide.
http://docs.geoserver.org/1.7.x/developer/release-guide/index.html

It is worth noting that the user guide is almost empty, because most of the content has not been ported from 1.7.x. There were also markup warnings

I will email you the zip (I do not think I have the credentials the upload it). Please review the contents.

Nice. Just uploaded the docs, thanks for generating them. And yeah, the docs are definitely a bit sparse since we have not ported most of the docs from 1.7.x over. But that should hopefully happen soon. Developer docs have been synced up as of recent, but we still need to sync up user docs.

Hi Justin:

Testing on the much loved windows vista ...
- installer uses old branding
- start geoserver is good (I suppose it was the install as service
that was troubled last time?)
Initial feedback:
- no welcome text but a nice clear list of services offered by version
number :smiley:
(I found some of it under "about geoserver")
(I would expect the initial page to talk about "Claudius Ptolomaeus"
from the contact info filled in during configuration)

services:
- WMS checked against uDig 1.2-M5
- WFS 1.0.0 and WFS 1.1.1 work nicely (in uDig 1.2-M5 only the WFS 1.0
layers are figuring out their geometry). I was unable to Edit from
uDig for some reason ....
- in layer preview when selecting formats; there are no formats listed
for WFS (even in cases where there is a short cut for GML)

demo requests
- demo requests; WFS_transactionUpdate.xml did not return any response
- on chome the the demo request text area is one line for the "body"
which makes checking out the request amusing

configuration:
- very pretty
- not enough information on the JAI settings to really fill it in
- for most of the screens there is some room reserved on the right
hand side (where the services usually are); this area is blank in al
the configuration screens

I had more feedback but I am not sure it is useful; beta works - not
sure what was up with WFS editing from uDig.

jody

Aside - to try this out I needed to remove the previous GeoServer as a
service test; GeoServer showed up as Apache Tomcat in the add/remove
programs's list.

Actually that is one thing I forgot to mention, I could not generate thew new version of the installer, tried running the nsi script and it died. And since I was well into the 13th hour of rlease chores that day I did not spend any time looking into it :slight_smile:

Mike, perhaps you can give it a go?

Thanks for the rest of the feedback, we should be sure to turn these into jira issues for RC1.

Hi everyone.

I just committed a patch to port the new (service) installer to 2.0. I've verified that it works (I can get to the admin screen on my system at least), but haven't tested how well it works. Artifact is uploaded to SourceForge.

I've got a bunch of ideas on how to improve this installer, and hopefully soon I'll be able to devote some time to it. Until then, if it didn't work for you in 1.7.5, it probably won't work now. :slight_smile:

Thanks,

Is WFS-T a known issue or something new to report?
Jody

Something worth reporting I would say, but probably more in geotools. Recently trying to answer some questions on the geotools user list I have found that geotools trunk wfs client and geoserver don't play nice together in terms of transactions.
