ActionsGS 2.23.2 release train

Ian doing the release, Andrea/Jody happy to help with GWC release and Jody
with release announcements.

Hiccup with Java version in release script? Maybe, Jody is checking.

Looks like Ian compiled with Java 17 on his local machine.

Ian will ask for gwc release when ready.

Jody asks that the geoserver blog post script be used / tested again :slightly_smiling_face:
Bolsena planning / budget

Bolsena planning underway:

   -

   Andrea confirmed
   -

   Jody confirmed

Budget:

   -

   OSGeo has been inconclusive with respect to their commitment
   -

      they are going to clarify next board meeting, which is after travel
      plans / confirmations are needed
      -

      proceed anyway and trust osgeo or geoserver budget to help cover
      activity

Discussion:

   -

   geometry was progressing okay
   <https://github.com/geotools/geotools/tree/remove-opengis-geometry&gt;
   -

      compare to geoapi 3.0 where they a Geometry placeholder
      -

      We can simplify Feature model to return JTS Geometry directly now
      -

   thinking
   -

      org.geootools.api.filter interfaces were maintained, with
      org.geotools.filter interfaces dropped
      -

      The same approach can be used for styling, dropping the geotools
      interfaces
      -

   Time permitting:
   -

      Simplifying the Envelope / BoundingBox / ReferencedEnvelope
      situation, not as easy as using ReferencedEnvelope / ReferencedEnvelope3D
      everywhere
      -

      Styling immutability similar to Filter immutability

IAU work nearing completion

Merged? Almost

   -

   postgis, geopackage in progress
   -

   srs list PR is created <https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/7033&gt;
   (thanks)
   -

   there will be lots of places left over to finish over time

Beating shapefile at its own game

https://github.com/flatgeobuf/flatgeobuf/pull/275

With this PR FlatGeoBuf renders faster than before, and faster than
shapefile too (dataset is 1.5GB shapefiles with 4 million polygons, with
interpolate on one of the attributes to set the fill color):

   -

   Shapefile renders in 43 seconds
   -

   FGB renders in 34 (did not finish earlier)
