The GeoServer mailing list informs us the open source webmapping server GeoServer 1.5.2 has been released. From the announcement: "This release brings some new interesting bits of functionality such as:
* 8 bit png and gif support
* Custom palette support
* GetFeatureInfo templates
* KML and GeoRSS improvements
* GetLegendGraphic enhancements
* Ability to serve content directory from data directory,
and a heap of bug fixes as usual." Update: 08/08 20:42 GMT by S : An anonymous user told us GeoServer 1.5.2 might not be bug free: Anonymous Voxel writes "Geoserver Blog sent a call for testing on the new "release" of Geoserver: So we were hoping to do a big announcement of GeoServer 1.5.2 today. But our ambitious bug fixes and improvements (over 80 issues) has come back to haunt us, and taught us an important lesson about doing release candidates first, even if 1.5.2-RC1 doesn’t sound great to our ears. We squeezed in lots of Google Earth output improvements, added GeoRSS, improved the Google Maps demo with a better projection, and added paletted images for faster and lighter image generation. And of course those have been where we’ve seen a few problems. We’ve uploaded the release to sourceforge, but users have already reported a few small errors with GeoRSS and Google Maps, so we’re regrouping and hoping to gather any additional bug reports and do the big release announcements next week.

Industry: GeoServer 1.5.0 Released
[+]
jdeolive writes "The GeoServer Project is proud to announce the release of version 1.5.0. This
release turns GeoServer in to a complete solution for serving any type of
spatial data, as the primary focus has been support for raster formats,
starting with GeoTiff, ArcGrid, World Images, GTOPO30, and image mosiacs and
pyramids. As always GeoServer is focused on open standards and open data,
making the rasters available as a Web Map Service, but also through the Web
Coverage Service specification, which gives full access to the raw data, not
just the final image. The WCS passes all OGC Compliance tests, and will be
fully certified very soon. Other notable improvements for this release
include easier adding of data through the web admin tools, better support for
Google Earth KML, performance and scalability improvements, and as always a
heap of bug fixes." The rest of the announcement below, including links to download this open source software.
Industry: GeoServer 1.5.3 Released
[+]
Anonymous Voxel writes "The open source webmapping server GeoServer 1.5.3 has been released. According to GeosServer Blog [...] This version represents the culmination of a ton of hard work to make GeoServer more compatible with the new formats gaining great popularity in the rapidly expanding geo world. Foremost among the improvements is a number of advances in our support for Google Earth. KML, the format understood by Google Earth, has been available from GeoServer for awhile. But our implementation wasn’t flexible enough to make good looking maps and to take advantage of the advanced features of the format. That has all changed, with better default styling, custom placemarks from templates, support for ‘Super-Overlays’ and Time, and automatic generation of legend information. There is also experimental support for referencing an existing cache of tiles to use in a Super-Overlay. The ability to style one’s 2d map and get the same output in Google Earth has also improved dramatically, as it now picks up proper scale elements." The rest of the announcement below.
