Re: [Geotools-devel] GeoTools / GeoServer PMC meeting - 2025-10-21

Some update!

  1. The GeoServer 2.27.3 maintenance release is out!

    I have not sent email yet, but it is published: GeoServer 2.27.3 Release
    A reminder that this is Java 11, JAI based, maintenance release. It includes some security patches but nothing super urgent etc…

    As a surprise it also includes some new features (since it is the first maintenance release :smiley: ). It has the Attribute Restrictions highlighted as a new feature.

  2. The GeoServer 2.28.0 post is updated: GeoServer 2.28.0 Release

    The Attribute Restrictions were not marked as fixed for 2.28.0 so they were included in the code but not in the release notes.

  3. There is a developer guide update post: GeoServer 2025 Q4 Developer Update
    Warning about this weeks code freeze, and calling for assistance on geoserver-security ← this is important issues are stacking up!

  4. Sprint Day 1: I was jet lagged, but by the time we left for the day the codebase was compling which is amazing progress…

  5. Sprint Day 2: Had two keep fixes:

    • Path matching routing had been rewritten by Spring, and we had to hunt down the right path matcher
    • Everyone is working productively, and starting to get to community modules and printing
    • GWC is proving a pain
    • GeoFence removing will be put off to milestone 3 even though it is an extension

    But the important amazing result is you can checkout main, do a “mvn clean install -DskipTests” and “jetty:run” and it works!
    I only tested basic shape file and geotiff - but the project is alive and functioning!

I am super impressed with these results, I was planing for the code freeze to last weeks - but many things are going much much better than expected.

Thanks everyone,

Jody
