I have installed version 2.24.2 as war-file under Tomcat 9.0.82 - so far everything seems to be working normally.

Hi Jody

Thanks for the release artefacts. I was able to use winsetup to install to Windows, manually downloading and adding the extensions that I use. GeoServer 2.24.2 ran with our most complex configurations, however, I was not able to fully test as I have not yet set up JNDI on this Windows laptop. I will still try to do that some time.

However, as mentioned before, it might be far more useful to test against a docker pre-flight image, if that is available.

I was able to determine from
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/tree/2.24.x and
https://github.com/geotools/geotools/tree/30.x
(but ignoring the recent https://github.com/GeoWebCache/geowebcache/tree/1.24.x commits)
that there were no commits in the last 24 hours, so the most recent https://build.geoserver.org/view/geoserver/job/geoserver-2.24.x-nightly/ should have produced a 2.24.x docker image at https://docker.osgeo.org/#browse/browse:docker:v2/geoserver/tags/2.24.x that approximates these pre-flight artefacts. (Actually, I see this docker image was produced 10 hours ago, when you built the release. Did you kick off another job, or is that now part of the automated release process?)

Should we add to the “artefacts available” email a link/reference to the docker image for more developers to test against?

Anyway, testing against this 2.24.x docker image was successful, including JNDI and all the extensions that we make use of. LGTM.

Hi Peter,

You should be able to test against docker yes.
I am testing the maven artifacts today also.

Peter we can have a moment to test Docker before announcing.
