The 3rd day of the terrestris Codesprint, a true king’s day!
Not only are the external conditions becoming more and more like summer, but great breakthroughs have also been achieved internally on all fronts.
NRW-WMS with a twist: For example, an elaborately styled WMS for the entirety of North Rhine-Westphalia was created based on OpenStreetMap data and accelerated by the MapProxy software.
GeoExt goes ExtJS 4: During the migration of GeoExt, further classes were migrated to the new ExtJS 4 framework and the test suite of GeoExt was adapted to the new circumstances, so that currently no tests of GeoExt 1.0 of the migrated classes fail anymore.
Interaction of OGC Web Services: With the help of the GeoServer REST-Api, we have managed to make our sensors, which are modeled in a Sensor Observation Service (SOS), automatically visualizable through a WMS layer. This avoids the problem of too many vector features in the WebGIS client, and now even large sensor networks can be easily visualized in the web via WMS.
OpenLayers fans pay attention: We have updated our old-venerable OpenLayers Builder (Generate a custom build of OpenLayers on-the-fly) to the currently stable version 2.11. Here you can have a version of OpenLayers specially adapted to your needs generated via a web GUI (including minimization of the code).
Other minor theaters of war: The development of WebGIS applications, based on Symfony2 and OpenLayers/ExtJS 4, was continued. A demo version will be online shortly.
Furthermore, a database for a country geocoder optimized for German and English search terms was optimized. A corresponding service (WFS) will be implemented soon.
Even on the last day of the code sprint, we will continue to give our all to prepare ourselves for the challenges ahead, so that we can continue to offer our customers the usual quality using state-of-the-art open source technology. Tomorrow there will be a summary of the results here.
