[Geoserver-devel] New release candidate

Now that RC6 is out, we have 1.3.0 ahead of us. Right now 1.3.0 has more tasks than should be handled in one release, so I would like to break it into one or two more releases (RC7 and RC8).

Can everyone take a look at the task list (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:roadmap-panel) and choose some items from 1.3.0 they would like to see released first? We can move them to the new release candidates.

Just reply back to this e-mail with the task number, ie. GEOS-301, and we will move them.

Cool!
I have organized the list as follows (headings indicate reasoning), others may find it easier to copy and reorder the issues around (rather then running off to Jira like I have done). I will also point out Jira has a voting system? Can always ask people to vote for the bugs they want fixed :slight_smile:

This looks like it has been done? (Aka can we close these already?)
- GEOS-453 Merge boundedBy changes on FeatureTransformer onto trunk
- GEOS0373 WMS SLD filter cannot work with PostGIS table for JDK 1.5

Issues that effect conformance / utility (solve as many as time permits?):
- GEOS-418 Character set encoding for wfs: html content-type differe - GEOS-378 DateTime
- GEOS-419 org.geotools.data.DataSourceException: Transaction rollback
- GEOS-311 Date-Attributes in requests and responses should have xs:dateTime / xs:date format

Issues that effect conformance (but do not crash):
- GEOS-401 Problem with labels (texts disappear)

First impressions / demos are important: (Fix if there is time).
- GEOS-447 Make it so geoserserver start-up doesn't look like someone yakked.
- GEOS-424 Demo -- add WMS SLD post examples

Issues that effect conformance with specific data sources; (include fix if module maintainer meets your deadline)
- GEOS-367 HTTP Error 500 creating FeatureType on PostGis table inside a schema
- GEOS-449 Postgis mishandles Filter.NONE in removeFeatures()
- GEOS-416 LinePlacement for labeling ignored
- GEOS-285 GetMap with Oracle does not take point rotations into account
- GEOS-349 capabilities directory required for validation

These add to the capabilities (not associated w/ conformance). Aka save for dot release.
- GEOS-451 XML Validate incomming WFS requests
- GEOS-429 Give more options to antialias and appy to all formats
- GEOS-434 Patch to add Label Shields to geotools literenderer

Some of these are project goals, you may not want to delay release for them (Save for rainy day, volunteers):
- GEOS-301 Improve the contributors page
- GEOS-404 DOC - sld examples
- GEOS-343 Get GeoServer certified as WFS 1.0 Compliant

And these do not seem to effect utitlity? (Include if patch provided)
- GEOS-448 Add XML comment to GetFeature/GetFeatureWithLock
