GeoWebCache 1.2.0 Released
[+]
arneke writes "GeoWebCache, a Java servlet for caching WMS data, released version 1.2.0 today. New in this release is support for OGC WMTS (Web Map Tiling Service, pending ratification). To support this, the internal grid system has been overhauled. It is now much easier to create tile sets for specific scales, and users can define arbitrary tile sizes. This release also includes simple runtime statistics, which let you see right on the front page of the servlet how many tiles have been served, what the cache hit rate is and recent activity broken down over a configurable time period.
The WMS GetCapabilities configuration has improved significantly and will now pick up all bounding boxes. In most cases this means that the layers are also configured in their native SRS without any additional input from the user.
Among the existing features that have matured are Request Filters. The included implementations, FileRasterFilter and WMSRasterFilter, make it easy to cache large layers with sparse data without caching all the blank tiles in between the features.
The documentation is being converted to reStructured text, compiled by Sphinx, and is already much improved over previous editions."
