Ok, I understand now. I have tested the Windows installer with 2.20-RC and the installer sets GEOSERVER_HOME environment. Since that I have been running the RC version on this computer because startup.bat checks GEOSERVER_HOME. That was not a problem for me earlier because a) normally I do not want to install Geoserver as a Windows service and b) Windows service installation was broken anyway.
User who wants to switch between Geoserver versions must remember to check the environment variables.

Hi Jody,
Yes, I have correct zip, but from the logs I found this entry:
2022-02-24 20:56:13.307:INFO:oejdp.ScanningAppProvider:main: Deployment monitor [file:///C:/ohjelmat/gs20rc/GeoServer/webapps/] at interval 1
So the startup.bat from gs 2.20.3 decided to use something from an older version (2.20RC) that I have used before and that I still had on my computer. I deleted the whole 2.20RC directory, started 2.20.3 again and now the logs show this
2022-02-24 20:59:38.495:INFO:oejdp.ScanningAppProvider:main: Deployment monitor [file:///C:/ohjelmat/gs_2203/webapps/] at interval 1
so deployment monitor points to correct directory and the user interface shows correctly 2.20.3.
I wonder what GeoServer version was actually started when I still had the 2.20RC directory. I still have 6 different GeoServer versions on my computer because I tend to start the same version that a user who has some problem is using. I think it has been working well. Is there something new in this Deployment monitor thing?

Hi,
I tried bin-zip on Windows 10 with OpenJDK 11. I did not notice any trouble. However, the welcome page shows ”This GeoServer instance is running version 2.20-RC. For more information please contact the administrator” and 2.20-RC appears also in Server Status – Modules page.

Release notes (no longer in jira): https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/releases/tag/2.20.3
We are still watching the windows job have trouble with permissions, it creates the installer though which is the main thing.
Not aware of any special needs for testing, there is a new ENTITY_RESOLUTION_ALLOWLIST to try out.
