Wicket 9 upgrade

GEOS-11275: Brad and David have made considerable progress on Wicket UI updates. After a year of effort the first results towards Wicket 10 are being merged onto the main branch.

Thanks to Brad for doing much of the difficult work starting this activity, and to David for working hard to stabilize this work for testing.

Peter and Jody started a wicket test plan and evaluated an initial 2.26-M0 milestone release.

How to help:

  • Test a 2.27.x nightly build, clearly noting problems in the Wicket Test Plan.
  • Urgent: Developer assistance is needed to restore JUnit tests for the Wicket modules. Many are failing just due to the contents of the page being slightly altered.
  • Developer assistance is needed to resolve the content-security-policy warnings reported during testing.
  • David has outlined what is needed for a new GSModalDialog to replace the functionality being removed in Wicket 10.

Spring Security 5.8 update

GEOS-11271: Andreas Watermeyer (ITS Digital Solutions) has completed this activity ahead of the GeoServer 2.26.0 release.

How to help:

Spring Security OAuth2 replacement

GEOS-11272: Andreas Watermeyer (ITS Digital Solutions) set up new community modules to work on this activity. This is a new implementation as the spring security internals have changed, and the new spring api allows for a cleaner implementation.

How to help:

  • This work will require extensive testing in different environments.
  • Ideas on unit testing and increasing test coverage with test containers are very welcome.

Support and sponsorship

We would like to welcome a new project sponsor:

Route4Me - Simplify Last Mile Complexity: proven route planning and route optimization software.

Route4Me

The GeoServer project steering committee seeks sponsorship to fund maintenance activities, code sprints, and research and development that is beyond the reach of an individual contributor or organization.

  • We have worked with OSGeo to provide sponsorship guidance for individual consultants, small organisation, companies and public institutions of different sizes.
  • GeoServer has a new sponsorship page on our website collecting this information for our project.
  • GeoServer now lists sponsors logos on our home page, alongside core contributors.

We would like to thank everyone who has responded thus far:

  • Sponsors: How 2 Map, illustreets, and Route4Me.
  • Individual Donations: Peter Rushforth, Marco Lucarelli, Gabriel Roldan, Jody Garnett, Manuel Timita, Andrea Aime
