Hello all
The work on SIS 1.3 release candidate is not yet finished, but it is
close. The reason for the delay is that I try to minimize the risk of
compatibility breaks in future SIS releases regarding the
org.apache.sis.metadata.iso.quality package. That package has been
upgraded from ISO 19115:2003 to 19157:2013 in SIS 1.3 [1][2]. The
following issues needed to be resolved before release for improving API
stability:
* Unified parameter API [3].
* Anticipate more changes to come with ISO 19157:2022 [4].
* Starts migration from Date (Java 1) to temporal objects (Java 8) [5].
The changes in GeoAPI interfaces described by those GitGub issues are
not yet part of any approved GeoAPI releases and may change according
OGC Working Group decisions. Apache SIS implements OGC GeoAPI 3.0.1. But
SIS anticipates proposed evolution by referencing directly the SIS
implementation classes when the GeoAPI interface is not available, and
we try to align those implementation classes as much as possible to what
they may be after an approved OGC GeoAPI 3.1/4.0 release.
