Testing Priorities

This is an exciting release and a lot of great new functionality has been added. We would like to ask for your assistance testing the following:

  • The number one testing priority is to try out GeoServer with your data! Mass market open source thrives on having many people to review. Scientific open source like GeoServer thrives on exposure to many datasets.
  • The application download bundles, and extension download bundles have been repackaged. Please help check they contain everything needed, including appropriate readme instructions and open source license information.
  • MBStyle support has received a lot of work and has been packaged up as extension for the first time. Please try this out, and if you work with vector tiles compare the output between client side and server side rendering.
  • The rest of this blog post highlights new features for GeoServer 2.17, please try out these features, read the documentation links, and ask questions.

Known Issues:

  • README links to the developers guide are broken
