News & Updates

The official WiseMapping Docker image (wisemapping/wisemapping) has crossed 200,000 cumulative pulls, up from 150,000 in April 2026. Across the server, frontend and desktop repositories the project now counts more than 340 GitHub stars and 90 forks. The 6.0.10 release restored ARM64 images, so self-hosting on Apple Silicon, AWS Graviton and Raspberry Pi works natively again — if you held off upgrading past 5.x for that reason, 6.x is now multi-arch. Thank you to everyone who deploys, contributes, files issues and spreads the word.

Multi-architecture publishing has been restored: both wisemapping/wisemapping and the API image are built for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 again, so 6.x runs natively on Apple Silicon, AWS Graviton and Raspberry Pi — ARM64 had been dropped when the release pipeline moved to GitHub Actions, leaving 5.x as the last multi-arch release. The build and both runtime images move from Java 24 to Java 25 LTS; Java 24 stopped receiving updates in September 2025, so neither JVM nor Alpine patches were reaching the published containers. MariaDB is now supported first-class, with the native JDBC driver and dialect, dedicated schema-mariadb.sql / data-mariadb.sql seed files and a ready-to-run Docker Compose overlay. Two vulnerabilities are patched: CVE-2026-45292 in OpenTelemetry (the whole io.opentelemetry family is now governed by an imported BOM, rather than drifting onto the Spring Boot parent’s vulnerable 1.55.0) and CVE-2026-71497 in jsoup. Issue #69 normalised database identifiers and data types across MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and HSQLDB so deployments on case-sensitive Linux filesystems behave identically to macOS and Windows, and issue #70 fixed the 6.0.8 image failing at startup — the container now uses tini as PID 1 instead of the broken Alpine supervisor, removing Python from the runtime image entirely. Spring Boot moves to 4.1.1, and Arabic joins the server-side message bundles with fully localized error messages and email templates.

As of April 2026, the official WiseMapping Docker image (wisemapping/wisemapping on Docker Hub) has crossed 150,000 cumulative pulls. The open-source project, first released in 2007, continues to grow its self-hosted community: every pull is a team, company, or individual who chose to run WiseMapping on their own infrastructure rather than rely on a third-party service. Alongside the Docker milestone, the GitHub repositories have reached 250+ stars and 70+ forks across the server, frontend, and desktop codebases. Thank you to everyone who deploys, contributes, files issues, and spreads the word — this project is community-driven and these numbers are yours.

Version 6.0.7 addresses a critical security vulnerability: the default JWT signing secret was committed to the public repository, allowing anyone to forge valid tokens for any user. The app now detects the default secret at startup and requires operators to provide their own via APP_JWT_SECRET. The Spring Security filter chain has been split into a stateless JWT chain for /api/** and a stateful chain for web and OAuth2 endpoints, enabling independent authentication policies per surface. On the compliance front, direct AdSense script injection has been replaced with Google Funding Choices CMP for GDPR-compliant consent handling. The frontend build pipeline upgrades to Vite 8 with native HTML transforms, Storybook 10.3, and the latest MUI components. The CI/CD pipeline now automatically creates and pushes git tags on every published Docker image, ensuring every release is traceable to an exact source snapshot.
