Hi,
Jody just cut a 2.8-M0 release, a milestone of the 2.8.x series (pre-beta) that already contains
a number of significant improvements. A hurray for Jody :slight_smile:

Please have a look at the blog post: http://blog.geoserver.org/2015/05/29/geoserver-2-8-m0-released/
Then check out the downloads, take the new features for a spin, and let us know how they are working for you.

Ah, if you are scared about it being “an alpha release”, please do not, this release received pretty much the same amount of
testing as any other release, thousands of tests during the continuous builds, plus another few thousands with the
nightly conformance OGC tests.
Your interactive testing is what will make the difference, in knowing how the new features behave in the “real world”.
So, please give it a kick, and let us know how it goes.

Cheers
Andrea

Thanks for passing on the message to the user list Andrea :slight_smile: I am really keen to hear people’s experience with this new release.

For my own experience: I just finished teaching a dev course with the new release … and really noticed all the new jai-ext jars that have been added to the build. Is it possible for jai-ext to combine operations into a single jar … rather than so many small ones?

Functionality wise everything was solid. We did not notice the new matrix implementation at all - which is exactly what I was aiming for :slight_smile:

While Andrea has promised to write some blog posts explain the new functionality … please make it worth his while by trying out the milestone release and replying to this email.
