GeoServer Cloud 3.0.0-RC

on GitHub

We are pleased to announce the release of GeoServer Cloud 3.0.0-RC, the first release candidate of the 3.0 line. This release is built on top of GeoServer 3.0-RC and brings the full platform up to the latest foundation: Spring Boot 4.0.5, Spring Cloud 2025.1.1, and the new GeoServer 3 codebase.

Highlights include a migration from the Netflix Eureka service registry to HashiCorp Consul, a move from the WebFlux-based API Gateway to Spring Cloud Gateway Server MVC, JVM AOT cache training in the Docker images for significantly faster startup, native per-platform Docker builds replacing QEMU emulation, and a new transpiler that replaces GeoServer's XML Spring configurations with build-time generated Java @Configuration classes. The release also introduces the new GeoServer 3 theme and a full-screen OpenLayers 10 preview, alongside numerous stability and compatibility improvements.
