This is might be the very last GeoServer 2.x series ever, but it depends on your/your company’s help to reach the crowdfunding target for GeoServer 3, which provides a far more secure and future-proof platform on which to deliver all these GIS goodies that you love. We are 93% of the way there, but we cannot start without being 100% funded. Please, please do your part to help us reach this goal as quickly as possible.
Lastly, many thanks go to Gabriel Roldan (Camptocamp) and Jody Garnett (GeoCat) for making this release and to all the other contributors who helped with this release cycle.
