Impact: what impact does this new feature have on the user's life

It showcases the different projections in a graphical way, showing a map of the projection's area of validity in the same CRS.

Thanks Gabriel,

So far this is what I have. Please do correct me or add in anything as
neccessary.

To meet the growing demand for a geospatial server that meets the open
standard set by the Open Geospatial Consortium, the GeoServer community have
worked hard to release the new GeoServer version 2.0.2.

Some of the main features included in this release are support for Oracle
Georaster and custom db layout for image data. You can read more about it
at http://blog.geoserver.org/2010/05/17/oracle-georaster-custom-jdbc-access/

Have you ever like me, wonder what area does a EPSG code covers? A new
feature has been added to GeoServer 2.0.2 to showcase the different
projections in a graphical interface, showing a map of the projection's area
of validity in the same CRS.
Below are links to demostrate that.

To add to this, we have also added a default style preview in the layer
publishing configuration

Victor, adding a few notes. Feel free to edit them as you see fit
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The rendering subsystem has been improved to include parameter substitution, meaning you can pass parameters down from the GetMap request into your SLD for dynamic styling purposes.
See the user guide for details:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/styling/sld-extensions/substitution.html

The geometry transformations abilities, included in GeoServer 2.0.1 without much fanfare, also received a complete documentation set here:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/styling/sld-extensions/geometry-transformations.html

Building image pyramids just got easier: past are the times where you had to manually build each level mosaic and configure the main property
file by hand, the current pyramid plugin can do it for you provided it's
given a suitably configured directory set. See the pyramid tutorial for more details:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/tutorials/imagepyramid/imagepyramid.html

Finally, this version of GeoServer implements the GetStyles WMS optional method allowing a user to retrieve the definition of all styles attached to a specific WMS layer, see the following link for an example:
http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wms?request=GetStyles&layers=topp:states&service=wms&version=1.1.0

Blog post looks good - thanks for the hard work.

I do see the blog post picked up everywhere by news anouncements. I wonder if we can tone down the amount of email announcing we now do? The community does seem to be supporting us in that respect.

I did notice from a couple of examples (this release and previous):
- http://www.fernandoquadro.com.br/html/2010/05/25/geoserver-2-0-2-released/

That news items would really like to have a visual to associate with the news announcement. I would rather provide one in the blog post then see what is dug up on our behalf.
