Release 1.9.0

GeoServer Cloud 1.9.0 Release Summary

The GeoServer Cloud 1.9.0 release introduces significant updates and new capabilities to enhance performance, scalability, and usability:

• GeoServer Upgrade: The platform now supports GeoServer 2.26.1, ensuring access to the latest geospatial features, performance improvements, and security updates.
• Multiplatform Docker Images: GeoServer Cloud now provides multiplatform Docker images for both linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 architectures, broadening compatibility and deployment flexibility.
• Eventual Consistency Enhancements: Improvements to the datadir catalog backend significantly reduce the overhead on non-REST API requests, streamlining operations in distributed environments.
• Logging Improvements: Logstash-formatted JSON logging to the console is now supported, enhancing monitoring and observability.
• Distributed GWC Config Changes: The system now supports distributed event notifications for GeoWebCache (GWC) configuration changes, improving consistency across pods.
• Startup Performance Boost: Application startup times have been reduced thanks to AppCDS (Application Class-Data Sharing) optimization.

This release also includes several bug fixes, such as improved handling of GeoServer configurations, fixes for GWC layer changes propagation, and enhancements to caching mechanisms. Additionally, the platform benefits from updated dependencies and support for additional coordinate reference systems (CRSs).

GeoServer Cloud 1.9.0 delivers a robust and adaptable solution for managing geospatial services in modern cloud-native environments.
