Summary: GeoTools 2.1.0 released
The GeoTools Project is pleased to announce the release of GeoTools 2.1.0. New to this release is support for DB2, Web Feature Server (WFS), Web Map Server (WMS), and indexed Shapefiles. GeoTools continues to support open standards. This release features the adoption of the GeoAPI 2.0 coordinate reference system model. The GeoTools library provides a client implementation for the Open Geospatial Consortium's (OGC) Web Feature Service (WFS) and Web Map Service (WMS). Additional ISO and OGC standards include Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD), Filter Encoding, Grid Coverage Exchange, and TC211 metadata standards.
The library represents a complete GIS software stack that allows additional functionality through the use of plug-ins. GeoTools allows you to work with your existing infrastructure of Shapefile, DB2, PostGIS, ArcSDE, Oracle Spatial, MySQL.
This release features improved performance of LiteRenderer, Shapefile (now indexable), and PostGIS.
