Actions

GS3 Update

Dependency updates ongoing. Removed some dead code in GWC for previews never got used.
Cloud storage dependency hell across imageio-ext, gwc and 3 providers, AWS, Azure, Google. Each one of them wants a different version of Netty, which in turn results in more dependencies.
For a long time, we split the 3 providers in vanilla geoserver and Gabriel tried a “dependency converge” approach in GeoServer cloud.
Now new PRs to use a centralized BOM to manage these dependencies, and an approach that replaces Netty with other HTTP clients (that’s the role of Netty in the cloud deploys).

UI/UX Updates

  • Work is underway, see gs3-theme branch for progress. Still too early to preview!
    • Working on menus, responsive sizing
    • Discussion about table reducing to cards when not enough width
      • A fun css approach needs to generate magic columns
      • A lot of casual tables for layout are being convert to flexbox
  • https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/9113 (in progress) - validate HTML files add <div class=<fname>. Possible issues with multiple <wicket:panel> <wicket:fragment> <wicket:extension>
  • Quite a few wicket pages have a single panels
    • However some are fragments and extensions and a bunch different components (ie WPS request builder)
    • Fragments are designed not have a class around, they are component that you normally stick in a component, like a table row … or input element
    • Extensions, every time you takes base page you extend it
      • Also editor page tabs, and service page contributions, …
    • It is hard to identify a wicket component, no easy fix or convention, …

arm64 docker images

Q: Is it the same image names? Or different image names…

  • Same tag, different architecture (platform) are now available
  • Note the -gdal variant for each tag

Mkdocs

Shows {{ release }} - we need to turn on macro processing for that page?
