+GeoWebCache 1.3-RC3 (2012-05-07)
+--------------------------------
+
+Improvements:
+++++++++++++
+
+- Added documentation on how to manage layers with the REST API.
+- Added documentation on how to configure min/max cached zoom levels and pass-through to the backend WMS for the rest of the published zoom levels.
+- Avoid reloading the whole configuration (twice) when a layer is added/changed through the REST API.
+- Report back tile cache miss/hit, crs, gridset, and bounds as HTTP response headers. E.g.:
+ curl -v "http://localhost:8080/geowebcache/service/wms?LAYERS=.....
+ < HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+ < geowebcache-cache-result: HIT
+ < geowebcache-tile-index: [3, 5, 3]
+ < geowebcache-tile-bounds: -112.5,22.5,-90.0,45.0
+ < geowebcache-gridset: EPSG:4326
+ < geowebcache-crs: EPSG:4326
+ < Content-Type: image/gif
+ < Content-Length: 29083
+- Various improvements to REST API to query and kill running tasks:
+  * Querying for the status of seed/truncate tasks returns an array sized by the actual number of submitted tasks instead of the thread pool capacity;
+  * Querying to /rest/seed.json returns the array of task status for all the layers, but querying to /rest/seed/.json returns only the submitted tasks for that specific layer;
+  * The returned array contains both running and pending tasks, with two extra bits of information: the task id and the status (pending, running, finished, or aborted);
+  * POST'ing to /rest/seed/ with the kill_all form parameter only kills tasks for that specific layer instead of for all layers;
+  * POST'ing to /rest/seed with the kill_all form parameter kills tasks for all layers;
+  * It is possible to specify whether to kill only the running tasks (previous behavior), pending tasks, or both running and pending.
+

+
+Bug fixes:
++++++++++
+
+- JDBC MetaStore can get NullPointerException inside H2 connection pool under concurrency.
+- geowebcache_empty.xml template file is schema invalid in case of uncommenting.
+- Error computing zoom level when truncating, metastore disabled, and gridset id not like <XXX_NNN>.
+- Incompatibility in returned GetCapabilities document with WMS 1.1.1 DTD.
+- Unable to run GeoWebCache with OpenJDK 6.
+- Can't use two GridSets for the same CRS on a single layer.
+- GWC_METASTORE_DISABLED parameter sometimes ignored.
+- Layers mis-configured after adding a layer through the REST interface.
