Hello,
I am aware that raster support will be included in 1.3 version. My
question is - when it will come?
My company is hosting in June the Terena conference
(http://www.terena.nl). We want to prepare installation of NASA World
Wind (http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/)- this means clients and of
course WMS server.
We like very much geoserver, bu we must find wms server with raster
support till april, so we can decently test it (it will be serving
huge amounts of data, through very fast network (40 Gb :))). How
probably is to release geoserver 1.3 in that time?
Regards

What kind of raster support do you need? Like what file format are you
looking for? We were actually just discussing GeoServer 1.3 - there is a
desire to get a nice stable release out in time to sync with uDIG's 1.0
release, so that users can easily download both and have a great demo,
of the two working seamlessly with eachother. We thought about keeping
with 1.2, to ensure that it's stable, but it looks like we're going to
shoot for stability with 1.3. The downside is we're not going to be able
to get in as many features as we'd like into the 1.3 release, since we
want to keep it focused and solid. We will focus on stuff that is
essential for a good demo - mostly very solid SLD support, good speed, and
lots of testing. I'd say raster support by then is on the fence. I know
it's by far the most requested feature for 1.3, so we really want it in.
But I would guess that if we don't get it in by the end of March we could
have it within two weeks, so maybe mid-April at the latest? If that's the
case you may have to help us beta test it, but I think we could devote
some good time to getting it optimized for your needs, since the
conference sounds like a great place to show off some geoserver
capabilities - I would love to see it working with World Wind. The basics
for rasters should not be _too_ hard, since I think uDIG is supporting
them. It's just a question of if we can get things integrated right. So
basically we would very much like to get raster support by mid-april, and
there's a decent chance that we can. I'm not sure if it'll be fast enough
for you off the bat, so you should look into mapserver and deegree for WMS
side. But email the list again when you are needing it, and we may be
able to get developers working directly with you, to improve raster
support for your demo (especially if we could get a public demo to point
people at). It sounds like a great conference and a cool demo.
best regards,
Chris
