cholmes writes "The GeoServer team is excited to announce that GeoServer 1.6.0 has been released. There are a host of advances from 1.5.x, and many GeoServer users have been testing the release candidates and giving us great feedback, so this final release should be very stable. Advances from 1.5.x include greatly increased performance for rendering maps, 'versioning' of feature data, WFS 1.1, a new security sub system, better google maps and earth integration, a WFS datatstore for Cascading WFS and Component WMS, and a number of other bug fixes and improvements."

Chris Holmes writes "GeoServer 1.5.0-beta3 released. Details at http://blog.geoserver.org/2007/09/18/geoserver-16- beta3/" From the blog: "The main focus of this release has been a number of performance improvements, done by Andrea Aime. These center around the WMS, and can be seen most clearly on layers that do not have any labels. Soon we should improve the labeling as well, so keep an eye, since GeoServer is getting legitimately fast."

MapServer Versus GeoServer
[+]
Fernando Quadro writes "Who is initiating in the development of space solutions is very common the following questioning: Which server of maps is best? MapServer or GeoServer? Looking for to answer this question, I wrote an article showing some of the differences between MapServer and GeoServer." Fernando's points are interesting, I invite readers to see the previous story on choosing between MapServer and MapGuide Open Source and read the informative comments. I also copied a few related stories below.
Industry: Building a Geoportal with Open Source Software
[+]
Late last December the Fuzzy Tolerance blog ran a nice demonstration of building a geoportal with open source software such as OpenLayers, TileCache, GeoServer, PostGIS, jQuery, REST and AJAX. Here's the resulting geospatial portal. From the blog: "From a developer’s perspective, the biggest advantages I’ve found with OpenLayers-Tilecache-jQuery-REST is speed and simplicity. The beta site went from an empty text file to release in only a few weeks of actual development time nestled in between other projects, with a lot of that taken up by a jQuery/OpenLayers/GeoServer/SLD learning curve, design, web service work, software setup, etc. It is also marvelously simple, being nothing more than Javascript and HTML. From an end-user perspective, you get a much more responsive application, a nicer map interface than I usually give people via OpenLayers, and everything is free and open source." I copied below some of the previous Slashgeo stories regarding the software used in the demonstration.
GeoServer 1.6.2 Upgrade Fixes Two Security Vulnerabilities
[+]
The GeoServer Blog announces the 1.6.2 upgrade saying,
This is a Security Release, which means it contains fixes for two Security Vulnerabilities. We highly recommend that you upgrade to this version. We found out about both these vulnerabilities in the past couple days, and made an effort to fix them and get this release out as quickly as possible. One of the issues also affects older versions of GeoServer. We are not doing a security release for it at this time for all the older versions, but have clear instructions on how to update one file to disable the page where the exploit is possible.
