That would take a few hours and so far no one had that amount of extra time, so we're waiting for the next stable release (1.7.6). If you have extra resources and want to contribute to GeoServer some way (release management for example) please drop by the GeoServer dev channel and let us know, that would be very welcomed :-) Ivan, nope, the release binaries have not been updated.

I've modified the link so that it points to a jar that does not need to be renamed anymore. Jushua, thanks for the report.

Thompson Tue, 07 Jul 2009 15:55:47 +0000 http://blog.geoserver.org/?p=227#comment-41863 A couple things: 1. In addition to hard locking this bug also has the nasty habit of eating up all available memory, eventually crashing tomcat or even the machine it's on (that's how we found the bug...), so it's probably a good idea for everyone running 1.7.5 to install this even if they aren't hitting the bug just yet. 2. The file needs to be renamed after you download it, but this wasn't mentioned in the post. Rename gt-api-256.jar to gt-api-2.5.6.jar. Otherwise you won't actually get the fix. Other than that, works like a charm! Not only does zooming all the way into my vector base map no longer kill the server, it's also noticeably faster. Kudos! A couple things:
