Version History & Preconfectioned Download

This page lists rasdaman versions, together with the change history. Starting with version 8.2 we provide summaries of the main changes done with each roll-out.

Alternative ways of obtaining rasdaman are listed in the Download area.

Version 9.0.x

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

Changes and new features

• rasdaman Array DMBS
  • tile ids are now stored as long int 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+
  • new 'select version()' query in RasQL, to return the currently installed version of rasdaman
  • enhanced logging: catch segfaults in the rasdaman server and print stacktraces in the log (only works if --without-debug-symbols has not been specified at ./configure)
  • fine-grained locking of tiles in rasdaman, allowing parallel ingestion for example
    
    
• Petascope Web servlet
  • the petascopedb [PetascopeDevGuide metadata database schema] has been completely redesigned to work in cooperation with SECORE and to better follow the GMLCOV model, extending support for CRS-aligned irregularly gridded coverages.
    • note: Petascope 9.0 is incompatible with the old petascopedb schema, and requires upgrade ('update_petascopedb.sh')
    • the upgrade supports both migration of existing coverages and restore of pre-upgrade db snapshot
    • some first stored procedures are available for devs and advanced users
  • servlet path has been changed to rasdaman/ows/wcps, rasdaman/ows/wcs, etc., and the war file deployed in Tomcat is now rasdaman.war
  • Full OGC WCS 2.0 Core compliance for coverages with rectified/referenceable grid and multipoint geometries.
  • WC*S subsets now support asterisks * and ​ISO8601 timestamps.
  • support for Index CRSs for unreferenced nD datasets
  • support for compound CRS index, spatial, temporal, or spatio-temporal, with 1+ temporal axes
  • support for CRS slicing (interim @<axis_left1>,__,<axis_leftN> notation).
  • WCS service and service provider metadata is moved from Java templates to the database.
  • GML/GMLCOV coverage metadata is richer and more flexible: many GML fields are configurable in the database.
    • fixes in GML encoding for coverages (especially CRS and grid axis orders)
    • minimum bounding box is returned
    • configurable OWS metadata enablement
    • configurable SWE metadata (NIL values, allowed intervals, label, description, definition URI)
    • handling of coverage points' sample spaces (point is area on regular axes, point is point on irregular axes)
    • CRS coordinates to follow the axis order defined in its definition
    • fix domainSet/rangeSet point order agreement
  • safe decoupling of WC*S coverages and rasdaman collections: one coverage is represented by a single marray
  • initial support for [MultiPointCoverages multipoint coverages] (to enable this feature PostGIS 2.0+ is required, otherwise it will be disabled.
  • fix WCS scaling, range subsetting and processing extensions.
    
    
• rasgeo component
  • revised rasimport/raserase working with the new 9.0 petascopedb schema (thanks to Alex Herzig) and supporting irregular series of images (see also the [RasgeoUserGuide user guide])
    
    
• SECORE resolver
  • [SecoreUserGuide 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.
    • two separate dictionaries of definitions: the EPSG and a user-defined one, now containing a first set of Index and Temporal CRS definitions.
      
      
• miscellanea
  • more powerful systemtests, with oracles support, known failures skip and scripting.

Quick upgrade guide (for rasdaman 8.x)

1. $ rm -rf $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/secoredb
2. $ autoreconf -fi && ./configure [...] && make clean && make && make install
3. edit and update Petascope ($RMANHOME/etc/petascope.properties) and rasgeo ($HOME/.rasdaman/rasconnect) configuration files
4. $ update_db.sh
5. $ update_petascopedb.sh

NOTE for PostgreSQL < 9.1 users : migration of existing coverages in petascopedb assumes backslashes are treated literally in string literals. While this is the default behavior in versions ≥ 9.1 of PostgreSQL, this must be manually set in prior versions (see #675). Hence, before executing update_petascopedb.sh you should run:

petascopedb=# ALTER ROLE petauser SET standard_conforming_strings = on;

(The problem has been addressed already in the development branch and will be available in rasdaman v9.0.1)

• 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.
