[postgis-users] rasdaman v8.3.0 released

[Peter Baumann]

Hello world,

rasdaman proudly presents its version 8.3.0 available on the rasdaman site [1] 
(follow "Download" link).

For those who don't know rasdaman: this is a very fast multi-dimensional raster 
analytics engine running on top of PostgreSQL. It includes an SQL extension, 
rasql, for declarative n-D raster queries; a recent extension allows to invoke 
PostgreSQL extensions, such as PostGIS, in the same query. Internally, "Pixels" 
are stored within PostgreSQL using adaptive tiling. MapServer as well as GDAL 
integration are available; among the OGC standards supported are WCS, WCPS, and 
WPS. See EarthLook [3] for a demo.

Lots of people have contributed to 8.3.0 by providing even more fixes and 
enhancements (including broader platform support) - see below for the list. In 
place of all contributors who keep rasdaman grooving, let me specifically 
mention Dimitar Misev, Charlie Sharpsteen, Alex Herzig, and Konstantin Kozlov; 
great to have such experts on board!

FYI, this is also the version that is going on the forthcoming version of the 
OSGeo Live DVD [2].

enjoy,
Peter

List of changes in 8.3.0:

rasdaman server:
  * compilation on OS X
  * rasgeo tool for GDAL-based image file import added to applications
  * rasdaman web client toolkit (raswct) has been added to applications
   * accompanying developer's manual can be found in manuals_and_examples/manuals
  * fixed returning wrong error code on exception in rasgeo
  * CSV formatter properly prints point queries
  * fix exporting data of base type uint8, int8, uint32, float, etc. to TIFF
  * added support for multiband TIFF images
  * synchronized RPM spec file
  * specific netcdf variable can be imported/exported, e.g. netcdf($1, 
"var=Base_reflectivity")
  * fix the default definition of the RPC server in rasmgr.conf
  * added --with-docs option to the configure script, to control whether doxygen 
documentation should be generated during installation.
  * added option for generating position independent code (PIC), usually 
necessary on 64bit systems for generating proper shared objects.
  * fix rasdl segfaulting when executed with invalid parametars
  * fix rasdl segfaulting when types with a specified extent are present in the 
database
  * fix type checking when updating with a file in some specific format. At the 
type-checking stage the actual type is not yet known as the conversion hasn't 
been evaluated.
  * fix rasmgr segfaulting on Debian Wheezy 64bit, gcc 4.6
  * fix make clean for java
  * add rview binary and modify Makefiles so that it's properly installed on 
make install
  * add includes for mkdir in rasmgr_config.cc

Petascope
  * moved to the applications directory
  * integration with the 52n WPS server
  * deploying via 'make deploy' instead of 'make install'
  * cleanup WCPS logging and fix performance bug
  * performance speedup by caching in WCPS
  * fix req 11, request version was not matched well.
  * the server should not fail if it fails reading some of the coverages
  * fix parsing of CRS in WCS 2.0
  * fix failed post req2 by including an ows:Constraint under OperationsMetadata 
in the Capabilities response
  * fix failed core req8 (URLs in OperationMetadata were same for different 
servlet locations), and failed core req12 (invalid KVP request didn't result 
with exception).
  * fix req17 by adding XML schema validation of XML requests.
  * perform initialization at servlet startup instead of at the first request.
  * fix installation of petascope settings
  * remove the version attribute of the ServiceMetadata element
  * update CRS identifiers to URLs

Fixed tickets
  * #60 importing and outputting multi-band tiff files via rasql
  * #67 fix compilation of the png converter with libpng14 or greater
  * #70 fix GetCoverage ill-formed XML response
  * #71 fix petascope DB initialization
  * #72 add proper rview/labels.txt
  * #74 problem exporting float32 data
  * #75 fix csv conversion for structs
  * #83 clear cache in petascope at every request
  * #84 fix subset parameters in WCS 2.0 GET-KVP
  * #86 CSV converter fails if result is 0 dimensioned
  * #87 internal error: The index found more cells than allowed
  * #91 fix handling of WCS 1.1 in petascope
  * #92 fix the SOAP protocol extension in petascope
  * #93 fix struct component selection via an index
  * #99 fix pixel shift in rasgeo
