GeoCat Find 2026.1 released

Full DCAT-AP profile support, a new name, and up to five years of long-term support
GeoCat Find 2026.1 is out!
 

Find is built on GeoNetwork 4.4 and ships as two packages:

  • The first covers the full set of metadata schemas available in GeoNetwork, with a clean, focused interface.
  • The second is for Dutch users: it adds the Dutch dataset and service metadata schemas and a tailored interface built around Dutch metadata conventions.

Both packages include long-term support - up to three years - with extended support available for up to five years. For organizations that need stability across planning cycles, that matters.

This version is a recommended upgrade to GeoCat Find 2026.0, which includes several bug fixes, library upgrades, and security fixes:

  • Upgraded a number of the third-party components the catalog depends on to their latest maintenance versions.
  • Fixed several places where page content wasn't properly cleaned before being displayed.
  • When signing in through an external identity provider (OIDC or Keycloak), the catalog now verifies that the page you're returned to after login genuinely belongs to the catalog itself, rather than trusting whatever address was supplied.
  • The service-linking dialog in the metadata editor now closes properly once a service has been linked to the metadata record.

See the GeoCat Find 2026.1 Release Notes for more details.

Our role in GeoNetwork

GeoCat holds Core Contributor status in the GeoNetwork project, which means we're not just shipping a distribution - we're building the upstream. We're currently active in the GeoNetwork 5 project. That work flows back into Find. When the open source improves, our customers benefit directly.

We also sponsor OSGeo and participate in FOSS4G. Open source geospatial infrastructure only stays healthy if the organizations that depend on it invest in it. That's a principle we've built GeoCat around.

Interested in Find 2026?

If you're evaluating GeoCat Find for your organization, or migrating from a different GeoNetwork distribution, we're happy to talk through your requirements.
