🚀 GeoServer 3.0-RC is here! A year ago, we set an ambitious goal: to modernize #GeoServer from the ground up. Now, the community has delivered. What's inside: ✅ Modern Spring & Jakarta stack | JDK 17 aligned ✅ Redesigned UI + responsive admin experience ✅ ImageN raster processing (replacing legacy components) ✅ Security hardened for production deployments ✅ Straight upgrade path from GeoServer 2.28.x This isn't just a version bump. #GeoServer 3.0-RC ships alongside GeoTools 35-RC and #GeoWebCache 2.0-RC, a whole ecosystem milestone. 👉 Why it matters: The community crowdfunding campaign proved open source sustainability can work. Developers, organizations, and sponsors funded foundational work that keeps critical infrastructure healthy, not just narrow features. 👍 Now we need your testing: - Upgrade workflows from GeoServer 2.28.x - New UI & admin workflows - Tomcat 11 & Jetty 12 deployments - Raster-heavy & tiling workloads - Extension compatibility edge cases Read the full story on our blog, from campaign to release candidate. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dBsJcNia Interested in enterprise support, training, or custom integrations?
