[Geoserver-devel] Proposal: Moving GT-2.7.x to ImageIO-Ext 1.1.x (instead of 1.0.x)

Hi lists,
first of all, sorry for cross posting.

We were thinking about aligning GT 2.7 to depend on ImageIO-Ext 1.1.x, as we have already done for GT-Trunk.
With respect to older ImageIO-Ext 1.0.x series, 1.1.x provides improvements like:

  • Support for GDAL 1.7.3 (Currently ImageIO-Ext 1.0.8 still uses a very old GDAL 1.4.5)
  • Support for BigTIFF (Breaking the 4GB TIFF limit).
  • Support for “destinationRegion” param to support oversampling/subsampling without specifying sourceSubSampling parameters. This may be used when dealing with readers which internally take care of performing subSampling/overSampling, as the gdal readers.

In case there isn’t any objection, I will open a JIRA in the next days and afterwards, I’ll start working on that topic.
Please, let me know.

Best Regards,
Daniele
