fixed/improved sql editing/execution view in GUI
fixed encoding problem of new generic client when running under non-UTF-8 locale
more silent logging by default
fixed generic client when receiving binary responses
cosmetic changes in services console
fixed handling of DisplacementY in 2D-renderer
fixed default feature info html output for WMS
fixed encoding problem when using Umlauts in feature info templates on Windows
fixed transformation problem when transforming from google mercator to EPSG:4326
fixed odd namespace prefix issue in BLOB storage and GML output
fixed reading of polygon geometries from shape files for multiple polygons with inner rings

The release 3.0.0 was published on November 16, 2010.

Focus is on providing stable OGC services and data access, not on API
Stable configuration concept for most relevant services and feature data access, not stabilized:
- Coverage data access
- SOS
- WPVS
API won't be stabilized for 3.0 release, except for WPS Processlet interface

Maven build scripts with clean dependency management
Automatic build system with integrated CITE test suite
Artifact server for easy providing of releases and snapshots
Clean wiki structure with thorough information on deegree 3 service and data access configuration
Integration of issue tracker in development and task organisation

Complex feature structures are generally supported
PostGIS (relational and BLOB-mode)
Memory (based on unmodified GML application schemas + GML instance documents)
Shape (only simple features supported)
Plugin and configuration concept allows to add new feature store implementations easily

Supported input formats include: jpeg, png, gif, geotiff, tiff
Supports single and multiresolution rasters
Supports raster pyramids in memory, from geotiff, and importing of deegree 2 raster trees
Supports JAI/ImageIO mechanisms to read images partially/tiled
Plugin and configuration concept allows to add new coverage store implementations easily
Configuration concept not mature enough for 3.0 stabilization, especially w.r.t raster pyramids and indexes

Support for large number of coordinate systems / transformations (same as deegree 2)

Full support for SLD-WMS 1.1.1 and 1.3.0 protocols (CITE compliant), including queryable profile and dimensions
Support for SLD 1.0.0/1.1.0 UserStyles
Support for SLD 1.0.0/SE 1.1.0 for defining styles
Supports styling and rendering of complex feature structures such as XPlanung 2.0/3.0, GeoSciML 2.0 and INSPIRE Data Themes (Annex I)
Works transparently on all feature and coverage stores, rendering makes use of underlying streaming based data access, which implies low memory footprint and high scalability
High-quality rendering: support for vector based line decorations, support for mm and meter UOMs in styles allowing for continuous scale dependent styling
Templating for GetFeatureInfo-responses: easy configuration of HTML and other output formats

Full support for WFS 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 protocols (CITE compliant), including XLinks (GetGmlObject) + Transaction
Supports GML 2 / 3.0 / 3.1 / 3.2 output formats out-of-the box for every kind of feature store, plug-in mechanism for custom output formats
Works transparently on all feature stores, WFS makes use of underlying streaming based data access, which implies low memory footprint and high scalability
Supports complex GML application schemas like XPlanung 2.0/3.0, GeoSciML 2.0 and INSPIRE Data Themes (Annex I)
Supports complex geometries such as non-linear curves (ISO 19107)
Queries may use complex property names in filter expressions (XPath 1.0)

Full support for WPS 1.0.0 protocol
Stabilized and easy-to-use API for process implementation that abstracts the WPS protocol details
Supports all variants of input / output parameters: literal, bbox, complex (binary and xml)
Streaming access for complex input / output parameters (allows the processing of huge amounts of data with minimal memory footprint)
Supports storing of response documents / output parameters
Supports input parameters given inline and by reference
Supports RawDataOutput / ResponseDocument responses
Supports asynchronous execution (with polling of process status)

Support for SOS 1.0.0 protocol (CITE compliant), core profile operations (GetCapabilities, DescribeSensor, GetObservation) plus GetFeatureOfInterest
Supports SensorML 1.0.1 (DescribeSensor), OM version 1.0.0 (GetObservation) output formats
Supports generic SQL backends: BLOB and relational
Configuration concept not mature enough for 3.0 stabilization: lack of use-cases for testing, also upcoming 2.0.0 spec. should be considered for final concept
