It is moderately likely that your application will break slightly going from 2.2 -> 2.3 (Murphy's Law) but the experience thus far seems to have been positive. * Geoserver has moved onto trunk (which is where "2.3" currently resides). * Some tests of uDig against 2.3 have not shown substantial changes in requiring re-working. Trunk is slated to be moved to a 2.3 release in relatively short order, *before* any other significant changes are brought in. So 2.3 should look just like 2.2, with the addition of much improved grid coverage support. The only place you could expect to see problems is if your 2.2 application actually made use of the 2.2 grid coverage support. Clear as mud? The shorthand explanation is 2.3 == 2.2 + grid coverage support. What comes *after* 2.3 is a matter of discussion but no decisions thus far.
