Security Considerations
This release addresses three security vulnerabilities:
- Added a configurable delay
<http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/security/webadmin/auth.html#brute-force-attack-prevention>
during
login, to mitigate a brute force attack.
- Added a configurable parameter
<http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/production/config.html#x-frame-options-policy>
to
control clickjacking attacks against the GeoServer UI.
- Added an additional parameter for locking down password autocomplete
in the GeoServer UI
Thanks to Andrea Aime and Devon Tucker for providing fixes to these issues.
These fixes are also included in the 2.10.3 release.

New Features and Improvements
- There is a new Mapbox Style community module available, which adds
support for an interoperable json styling language. For more details, refer
to the documentation
<http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/styling/mbstyle/index.html>.
- GSIP 158 – NetCDF output support for variable attributes and extra
variables. This improvement adds the ability to set attributes on output
NetCDF variables, copy attributes from source NetCDF/GRIB variables, and
copy scalar variables from NetCDF/GRIB sources including
ImageMosaics. See the
documentation
<http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/extensions/netcdf-out/index.html>
for
details.
- Allow disabling usage of SLD and SLD_BODY in WMS requests (also for
virtual services).
