Backport policy discussion
-
Backport policy applies to extensions
-
Wait one month for functionality on GeoServer master before backport
-
Can vote for exceptions
-
Anything that is in the release blog notes counts as a new feature
-
API changes are not backported, except to fix vulnerabilities or with vote
Mapbox styles
-
Mapbox Styles now mostly functional (core functionality is there and tested, still missing some features).
-
Reference docs: http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/styling/mbstyle/index.html
-
Can probably move to extension status fairly soon, but not quite yet.
General discussion
-
Could also consider promoting the CSS module, as it has been unsupported for quite some time, but seems well-maintained and stable.
-
Java 9 modules (JSR-376, also known as Jigsaw) voted down:
