We’re happy to announce the release of OpenGeo Suite 2.4.3!

For the first time ever, we’re releasing the Enterprise and Community editions of the OpenGeo Suite simultaneously. We’re even updating our Cloud offerings on both Skygone and Amazon Web Services. Aligning our release process to account for all tiers seems to be a sensible step, and one that we have been working toward for a while behind the scenes.

So what’s the difference? Glad you asked. The OpenGeo Suite Enterprise Edition comes with valuable add-ons for administrators, such as Suite Analytics for graphically viewing and managing server load. No need to go digging through the logs when you can get a report of all the failed requests right in your browser. You can even see where your requests are originating from, due to an embedded IP-based geolocation service.

It’s more than just the add-ons. The OpenGeo Suite comes complete with the entire OpenGeo Suite team! (We’re glad companies don’t ship software boxes anymore.) You get access to the core developers of all the components, unlimited bug fixes, updates, and even custom development hours on some plans. We understand that commercial support is one of the key barriers to adoption of open source software, and our clients allow us to reinvest directly into our communities, furthering development of the software in line with our core mission of bringing the best practices of open source software to organizations around the world.

We are happy to announce the release the OpenGeo Suite Community Edition 2.4.1!

It’s been a few months since we’ve put out a new version of the OpenGeo Suite Community Edition, but that’s not for lack of work. We’ve been quite busy not only adding new features, but melding in some of the great improvements that the Enterprise Edition received last month. Check it out:

Integrated styling and editing in GeoExplorer. We love the Styler and GeoEditor apps, but we thought that things would be that much better if we could integrate the styling and editing functionality directly into GeoExplorer. This means that now GeoExplorer can do more than just map composition and publishing. Much more.

Upload data through GeoExplorer. You can now upload single shapefiles and GeoTIFFs directly through the GeoExplorer interface, and the content will be loaded into GeoServer just as with the standard GeoServer Layer Importer. Yet another addition to the already powerful application, this will help you minimize switching between different applications for your data management.

GeoExplorer authentication. You wouldn’t want to give everyone the keys to the GeoExplorer kingdom, would you? We didn’t think so, so anything that requires server changes (styling, saving) now requires you to log in using administrator credentials.

Latest updates. Of course, all of the latest versions and bugfixes from our component projects comes standard.

We invite everyone to download this new version and give it a test drive. Please report any bugs to the OpenGeo Suite Community Forum. While the Community Edition is unsupported, we appreciate any reports from the field, and so will fellow members of our growing community.
