7/11/2017 - 3.0.0 is Almost Here!¶
After a great showing at ITAG, 3.0.0 is getting even closer to release! There’s been a few late-changing bugs that will need to be fixed but we expect to have 3.0.0 ready for everyone by the end of the month!
The biggest gulf right now is the documentation. Much of the older documentation and how-tos will still need “ported forward” to make a real release possible. The code is really good but we are missing that solid documentation component to go with it.
If you get any time please check out the demo and file any issues you may find. We want to get the best out of this first release and it’s really starting to gel! We also accept documentation help! If you find a how-to you’d like to rewrite or have solved a problem with 3.0.0 already send it our way. We’d love to put it in!
6/20/2017 - Starting to wrap on 3.0¶
We are getting closer and closer to an official 3.0 release! We’ve really tackled the last of the major features and can proudly announce that all of the following features work in the latest version of 3.0:
Buffering. We’re using the ES6-capable version of JSTS to do client-side buffering. It’s been a really great addition and you can see it at work in the new demo.
OpenLayers 4. OpenLayers now publishes an ol package which is ES6-compatible. We have adopted it and so now there is no longer a need to separately include OpenLayers in a gm3 application.
The metadata tool is back. In all of our development we missed out on the simple metadata tool from the catalog. It’s back in the demo.
Toolbar drawers. In GM 2.X these were provided by using a very widget heavy set of solutions. They usually had browser compatibility issues and some struggled to function on touch screens. The new solution is almost purely CSS based and has been test on modern version of IE, Chrome, Firefox, and on mobile browsers.
ArcGIS FeatureServer layers. FeatureServer layers can now be treated the same way as WFS layers. They can be queries and rendered in the browser. The AGS Dakota County Rail layer in the demo has been added as an example to prove how it works and it can be used in the same ways and with services just like any other vector layer.
Thursday, @theduckylittle will be presenting at Iowa’s ITAG conference and covering all the new features and doing a live demo.
Please take some time to exercise the demo and file bug reports! The GeoMoose 3 issue list can be found here on GitHub.
5/2/2017 - Making a (PDF) Mark with GeoMoose 3.0¶
GeoMoose 3.0 is still moving along! We have put some serious work into preparing packaging and adding a new print tool. The coolest part? Still no server-side scripts needed to make printing happen! A major design goal is to minimize server-side software in GeoMoose 3.0. That means no more PHP requirement. There are two major roadblocks to that development:
Buffering. This still needs to be tackled. The hope is to use a minified form of JSTS in order to provide client-side buffering of features.
Printing. All of the previous print solutions in GeoMoose used server-side libraries for PHP or Perl. Now, we are able to use jsPDF and some tricks with OpenLayers to generate a PDF on the client. Major victory!
GeoMoose 3.0 and npm¶
GeoMoose 3.0 will also be available as a package on npm! Jim has been hard at work ensure that we have the project structured in such a way that folks can integrate the new GeoMoose into their npm-managed projects. It’s not ready quite yet but will be for the first release.
See it all!¶
Printing is now available in the Demo and all the code is available on GitHub.
4/18/2017 - Great things are afoot!¶

Development on a fresh new GeoMoose 3.0 is getting really exciting! We’ve put together a great new architecture while working hard to keep GeoMoose familiar to users and administrators. Check out the activity on GitHub and the new Demo.

4/6/2013 - Come see us at FOSS4G-NA 2013¶
Come visit us at FOSS4G-NA 2013 in Minneapolis, MN from May 21-24. GeoMoose started in Minnesota and was first presented in very early form at OSG ‘05. As OSG ‘05 was a precursor to the FOSS4G conferences, we feel FOSS4G-NA 2013 is a homecoming for the project. There will be a GeoMoose workshop (presented as part of the MN GIS/LIS Consortium’s spring workshops) in the afternoon on May 21st. GeoMoose developers will be attending the conference and we plan to grab a table at the code sprint on Friday the 24th. Friday is a free day, so even if you can’t attend the rest of the conference, stop by and see us during the code sprint. Also, be sure to check out the other projects at the sprint and the free presentations.
