Hi,
thinking about the new PNG encoder, I was wondering, what if I make a GSIP
to include it
on trunk as the default PNG encoder (so move the code in the wms module),
replacing also the usual checkbox about choosing the
"native" PNG encoder with a combo box with a drop down having 3 options,
jdk, native
or PNGJ.
Rationale:
* the new PNG encoder is pure java, requires no extra installations, and
provides both performance
and output size benefits
* has a good amount of testing, with checks it can encode more color models
than GeoServer
normally produces in output (all the ones contained in the PNG spec)
* we still have three+ months ahead before the 2.5.0 release, so there is
time to kick its tires
* for any residual corner case the drop down choice will allow admins to
switch to another
encoder
I understand this encoder is "new", but so were the new KML module and the
new shapefile
modules last release (so far it seems it went well for those two, only a
few issues were reported),
and that's precisely the reason for a GSIP.
Just wanted to test the waters and see if anyone would be strongly opposed
to the move.
Cheers
Andrea
