The development branch is master. It can be used for testing and reporting errors.

For production systems, you are advised to use the branch named "stable". This branch receives bug fixes as they arrive.

Every release is supported for 6 months. Each time a new release is out, the stable branch is renamed according to the old release version, and a new "stable" branch is forked off master.

Version 13.09 (in the works)

UPGRADING:

  • mapfishapp: default projection changes from EPSG:2154 to EPSG:3857 (aka Spherical Web Mercator). Your users might need to clear their localStorage, or force loading of the new default context.
  • LDAP: one group was renamed: STAT_USER became MOD_ANALYTICS and an other one was created: MOD_LDAPADMIN. The latter grants access to the LDAPadmin private UI (/ldapadmin/privateui/index.html), while the former grants access to the analytics app. See georchestra/LDAP#2.
  • The default application language is now English: shared.language=en + geonetwork.language=eng + default email templates ... be sure to override these in your own config !
  • Remember also to fill these two new global maven filters: shared.homepage.url for your SDI home page (might be something like http://my.sdi.org/portal/) and shared.instance.name (eg: GeoMyCompany)

Version 13.06 (current stable version)

This release was supported by the French GeoPicardie, GeoBretagne and CIGALsace projects, the GIP ATGeRi and individual contributors.

New features:

  • geoserver: updated to 2.3.2,
  • geoserver: patched to include ScaleHint (WMS 1.1.x) and Min/MaxScaleDenominator (WMS 1.3.0) in the capabilities documents, according to the default layer SLD. The patched was accepted in GeoServer master, see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-572

Enhancements:

  • the header is now part of the static module, and all webapps make use of it. As a result, requests to static pass through the security-proxy,
  • the header height can be set across all applications by the way of a unique shared maven filter,
  • mapfishapp: the CSW querier filters results on type = dataset OR series,
  • extractorapp: supported output formats combos made configurable, ECW output format expunged by default,
  • the template config was slimmed down: files where default values are suitable for most deployments were moved to config/defaults,

  • we now have CI on JS files syntax with Travis !

Bug fixes:

  • fixed the ability to turn off the downloadform with shared.downloadform.activated,

  • geonetwork: fixed ldap attribute mapping.

UPGRADING:

UPGRADING:

  • LDAP tree needs to be migrated as a result of georchestra#91 :
    • ldif export: ldapsearch -xLLL -D "cn=admin,dc=georchestra,dc=org" -W > dump.ldif
    • migration: sed 's/(memberUid: uid=)(.*)(,ou=users,dc=georchestra,dc=org)/memberUid: \2/' dump.ldif > new.ldif
    • ldif import
  • mapfishapp config changes:
    • the print config folder should be moved from YOUR_CONFIG/mapfishapp/print to YOUR_CONFIG/mapfishapp/WEB-INF/print for security reasons, see georchestra#82
    • client side (see GEOR_config.js or GEOR_custom.js for more information):

    • don't forget to edit your WMCs to activate back buffers on base layers, see georchestra#42
  • In GeoNetwork, it is now recommended to use OGC:WMS protocol rather than OGC:WMS-1.1.1-http-get-map (or any other WMS tagged with a version) to declare WMS layers, see georchestra#4
