[Geoserver-users] GeoServer 2.21-M0 milestone available for feedback.

(Sorry previous email did not format correctly)

I have made GeoServer 2.21-M0 milestone “release” here

https://sourceforge.net/projects/geoserver/files/GeoServer/2.21-M0/

This release does not even come with an anouncement - only this email! The milestone release is shared to ask for feedback and testing on one feature only - changing to upgrading from log4j 1.2 to log4j 2 (see

http://geoserver.org/behind%20the%20scenes/2022/01/20/log4j-upgrade.html).

Testing priorites:

  • Your existing data directory will smoothly update from using log4j 1.2 property files to using log4j 2 xml files the first time you run.

  • Change between the logging profiles on global setting, please let us know if that works directly for you.

  • Download the user manual and read the docs on making a custom profile if you are keen. Log4j offers fun new capabilities like compressing old log files etc…

This is a milestone release, treat as a technology preview not suitable for production use!

Thanks to activity sponsors for your support:

And thanks to my employer geocat bv for the in-kind support in pursing this upgrade.

Thank you for testing, that makes me happy :slight_smile:

The test cases are showing one problem in a windows environment (the test cases is unable to clean up the geoserver.log file as it is still in use). I do not think this would be an issue for a normal user in production on windows.
