GeoServer 2.20 release train updates

Release started on Oct 11th, found some issues. Jody fixed them.

Resuming Oct 12th, in progress.

Add state of GeoServer talk link to release notes

Windows installer, mention in release notes as “early access” or something
Windows installer

PR merged, the windows installer is run by an extra job after the release
build, uploads the result so that it gets picked up by publish.

Check that the “geoserver-windows-release” has completed succesfully before
hitting “release-publish”.

Mention in release notes as “early access” or something
Java 17 progress

Bjorn has been making progress!

   -

   GeoTools PR is breaking GeoServer, but is otherwise ready to go …
   -

      Had to relax a couple constraints in a few specific modules
      -

         xsd-core, ysld for easymock (need to update EasyMock when there is
         a release)
         -

         css module, parboiled parser not java 17 compatible, needs
         --add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED
         -

   Unfortunately it breaks GeoServer, cannot be merged as-is. There is a
   small PR trying to address that
   <https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/5319&gt;, but it’s not enough.

Chit Chat

Cool new pull request from ydeliorman:

   -

   https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/5325 WFS-T Bulk Transaction
   optimization
   -

      great result, much faster to add features in bulk
      -

      also batch deletes (rather than one by one)
      -

      batch updates can not be done in bulk, given how they work ... with a
      bunch of selects. Some discussion on how this could be done (tricky and
      unfunded)

LiteCoordinateSequence duplicate is messed up on dimensions:

   -

   see some discussion on email, Ian setup a TestCase

Sprint planning:

   -

   action (jody): Need to ask for funding using a blog post

   November is still a go, please respond with availability
