Releases status
2.22-RC is out last friday:
-
folks are already testing
-
No real blockers; the milestone release did its job
-
relebase.rb mostly worked?!
2.21.2
-
nothing much surprising
-
geowebcache 1.21.x branch was a mess; so lots of little clean up commits
-
relebase.rb mostly worked?!
-
windows installer is not kicked off; but when run from azure it works
-
Juan changed where it uploads to… job execution archives instead of
the job workspace
-
Some kind of azure token is needed on the build server
-
See AZURE_WINDOWS_CREDENTIALS on
https://build.geoserver.org/manage/credentials/
2.22.0:
-
November stable release
-
What are we comfortable backporting?
-
new feature: Column descriptions -> schema annotations? Best wait for
2.22.0 to be out according to Andrea
-
wait
-
fix (large): Gabe has a concurrence fix
<https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/6297>? Services were the
last non-concurrent data structure
-
wait?
-
geoserver.css: staying on main
-
it could go to main; not going to backport needed
-
Personal feedback
-
the contact information “welcome” needs more room (text area not text
field)
-
the 2 column layout for workspace is a mess
-
Do we have a volunteer?
-
November 18th target date …
-
ask list for volunteer; blog post mostly in place, hardest part is
listing folks who helped test
-

Chit-chat
GeoTools:
-
Relaxing ReTyping stuff to mean “covers”...
-
ReTyping was just about suffling order of attributes; selecting less
of them, …
-
Change proposed is to just check attribute name and java binding and
let-it-rip
-
The “covers” relationship proposed - match attribute name and java
binding?
-
what about matching attribute name and use converters?
-
Option: Query Hint to enable this?
-
Check with Roar about his needs; is he just using
ReTypingFeatureCollection or Iterator or something …
-
Is this stuff a good idea?
-
minimal: set an enum to enable “strict”, “covers” or “convert”
GeoTools
-
Oracle remarks to column description to attribute type descriptors
-
Connection for oracle has a flag to enable remarks
-
CONNECTION_PROPERTY_REPORT_REMARKS: If the value of this property is
"true", OracleDatabaseMetaData will include remarks in the meta data.
-
PostGIS metadata includes comments all the time
GeoTools:
-
https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-10722 WFS geopackage output
extension failing to encode MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY
-
how did it get an SDO_GEOMETRY?
-
Stay tuned …
