Version 9.0.0

• For download and installation check the (debian) installation and release process guides.

Changes and new features

• tile ids are now stored as long ints in the database rather than double.
  • note: this is a backwards incompatible change over rasdaman 8.x, i.e. once update_db.sh is run, the database (RASBASE) will be converted to the new format and will be only readable by rasdaman 9+
• the petascopedb schema (tables with prefix 'PS9_') has been completely redesigned to work in cooperation with SECORE
  • note: petascope 9.0 is incompatible with the old petascope schema, and requires running update_petascopedb.sh --migrate to make the old petascopedb compatible
  • before running update_petascopedb.sh --migrate, it is necessary to remove the $RMANHOME/share/rasdaman/petascope/update*.sql files, which may have been left from an earlier installation.
  • similarly it is necessary to remove $RMANHOME/etc/petascope.properties, as more parameters have been added and make install will not overwrite and outdated configuration file.
• support for CRS-aligned irregularly gridded coverages (referenceable grids as by GML nomenclature, with axis parallel to the axes of the CRS).
• support for compound CRS, either spatial, temporal, or spatio-temporal.
• support for Index CRSs for unreferenced images.
• support for CRS slicing (interim @<axis1>,__,<axisN> notation).
• support for ISO8601 timestamps in WC*S subsettings (use double-quotes delimiters to switch from numeric coordinate to date).
• WCS service and service provider metadata is moved from Java templates to the database.
• GMLCOV coverage metadata is richer and more flexible: many GML fields are configurable in the database.
• rasdaman collections and WC*S coverage names can be different: a coverage corresponds to an MDD, while a collection can contain multiple MDDs.
• more powerful systemtests, with oracles support and scripting.
• initial support for multi-coverages is available in petascope (specifically multipoint coverages). To enable this feature PostGIS 2.0+ is required, otherwise it will be disabled.
• the WCS CRS extension, partially implemented in the previous version (subsettings but no output reprojection) has been removed.
• OGC WCS compliance is ensured (KVP protocol extension).
• SECORE only supports URLs now, URN support is removed as OGC URNs have been deprecated for a long time already.
  • note: this is an incompatible change, so an existing SECORE database must be removed (rm -rf $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/secoredb/*), so that a new database containing only URL identifiers can be initialized.
• SECORE has two separate dictionaries of definitions: the EPSG and a user-defined one, now containing a first set of Index and Temporal CRS definitions.
• support for asterisks * in WC*S subsets.
• new 'select version()' query in RasQL, to return the currently installed version of rasdaman.
