Hi,
today a user reported a major bug in point rendering that sneaked in
due to a side effect of me fixing another point rendering bug:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1942
As a result, most point based maps won't render properly using
the streaming renderer (shapefile renderer is unaffected, that's why
I did not notice).
I believe this is reason enough to kill the gs 1.6.4 and geotools
2.4.3 releases and make new ones right away with just that bug fixed.
Now, the thing is, I would like to avoid making the re-release just
to discover some other issue after that. So please, can everybody
with a bit of spare time take the current releases for a tour and
see if they can spot anything else major?
As for the causes of this problem and ways to avoid it happening again, I'll open a couple of new discussion threads on gt-devel.
Cheers
Andrea

Hi Andrea:
I can confirm the described behavior above--points from a postgis
datastore do not show up on a map. I compiled 1.6.4 from the src
archive. Other than that--things seem to work as expected, even with
using the netcdf plugin
