GeoTools 16.0 Released

The GeoTools team is pleased to announce the release of GeoTools 16.0:
This release is also available from our maven repository.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the code-freeze, monthly bug stomp, or directly making the release. This release is made in conjunction with GeoServer 2.10.0.

This release of GeoTools has been through a beta and release candidate test phase so everything you need should be working fine (or did you forget to test those releases):
  • The library now defaults to using  PreventLocalEntityResolver with XML parsers for improved security. For more details (and how to disable this behavior) please see the GeoTools user guide.
  • The gt-wfs-ng client is taking over; please try it out with your Web Feature Services.
  • CSS now supports rendering transformations.
