Dear all,
I wanted to reach out to you personally on behalf of the entire 
GeoServer 3 team, to share an important update, in case this went 
unnoticed on your side: GeoServer 3.0-RC is now available.

This release candidate is the concrete result of the crowdfunding 
campaign you supported. Your contribution made it possible to move 
GeoServer 3 from a plan into a modernized platform, with a new user 
experience, a Jakarta/Spring-based stack, ImageN raster processing, 
stronger security, and a clean upgrade path from 2.28.x. It is released 
together with GeoTools 35-RC and GeoWebCache 2.0-RC, making this a full 
ecosystem milestone.

You can download GeoServer 3.0-RC directly from 
https://geoserver.org/release/3.0-RC/, or try it immediately with Docker:
     docker run -p 8080:8080 docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:3.0-RC 
<http://docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:3.0-RC>

If you have the chance, your real-world testing at this stage would be 
genuinely valuable, especially on upgrade workflows, the new UI, and 
Tomcat 11 / Jetty 12 deployments.
Feedback can be shared on the specific GeoServer Discourse thread.
For a more detailed overview of the release and the journey from 
campaign to RC, I invite you to read our 
<https://www.geosolutionsgroup.com/blog/geoserver-3-rc/> blog post.

Thank you again for believing in this work and for being part of it.

Simone Giannecchini
