I have created a draft announcement, using a different approach than
normal. Since this is a release candidate I have strictly focused on a call
for testing, promising a details on new features when the 2.17.0 release is
made.
Here is a snippet:
*This is a GeoServer release candidate made in conjunction with GeoTools
23-RC and GeoWebCache 1.17-RC.*
- *Release candidates are a community building exercise and are not
intended for production use.*
- *We ask the community (everyone: individuals, service providers,
organizations) to download and thoroughly test this release and report
back.*
- *Participating in testing release candidates is a key expectation
of our open source social contract
<http://www.ianturton.com/talks/foss4g.html#/>. We make an
effort to thank
each person who tests in our release announcement and project
presentations!*
*We will provide a more extensive description of new functionality when
GeoServer 2.17 is released.*
I would like review (please) and ideas for testing priorities:
1. Test with your own data
2. Test download bundles work (I know my own tests are in a prior email)
3. Test MBStyle since it has had so much work done
4, Security tab for workspaces, layers and layergroups
Any other priorities for testing? Checking recent proposals
<https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/Proposals> has a lot of
content.
