RC2
Ian released RC2
The OSX DMG was not produced, the machine seems down. May need to download the components and produce it locally.
See old instructions for how to do this, or look at the script.

2.5.0 scheduled for 18 March.
GeoServer 2.4.5
Scheduled for this week (JD).
Q: Check on email list if he needs help?
- Possible: Reference implementation for OneGeology / INSPIRE
Q: Perhaps circulate the build artifacts for preflight testing?
A: Test a nightly build instead
Action build 2.4.5 build when ready …
Q: Will the mapping files be published?
A: Yes waiting on 2.4.5
Q: Can we get a blog post to show a non trivial example?
A: Yes …

Q: So where are the actual configuration files?
A: Looking …
BCD to get configuration files published
H2 and postgis upgrade
Q: PostgreSQL JDBC seems like a good idea?
A: Breaks our implementation based on quoting of identifiers
Details on PostgreSQL upgrade:
Q: How long have we been waiting on a fix for this driver?
A: A month (so not long)
Q: Other option?
A: Modify our dialect code to unquote identifiers
Q: Upgrade H2?
A: Need to resolve a whole bunch of questions about upgrading existing databases on disk.
Check upgrade of:
- diskquota
- kml
- h2store
Check outstanding pull requests
Q: Anything else trying to make it in for 2.5.0?
A: Not really
Pull requests waiting for freeze …
- freeze is over on master
- developers not available
Highlights:
- W3DS pull request
- Lots of small pull requests from sonar
- Legend Graphic allows for external legend graphic. We needed to ensure GeoServer can access the the external image, and we would prefer an upload. Multi layer legend would need to be updated to match.
Dimension default value GUI
We have had two pull requests on this topic, and sent it back for collaboration.
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/430
- master is now available, so we can now double check the pull request.
- Heavy use of factory pattern (a waste when there is only one implementation)
- looking good
gt-wkt module
- provides wkt://POINT(…)
- provides property file with hash key reference
Merge or supported module?
Simone wanted to merge into gt-renderer
Jody agrees, but the module has some precanned graphics which we can leave out. Jody just wants it to reference a provided properties file.
Q: Where merge?
A: gt-renderer (ie same place as shape://)
Q: Is it ready?
A: Need to check the two implementations etc…
General Discussion
svg mark factory? just grab the shape out of the SVG file. Andrea has a branch, stuck on a batik issue.
Need some help answering user questions.
