As a development release, 2.6-beta is considered experimental and is
provided for testing purposes. This release is *not recommended for
production* (even if you are excited by the new features).

The GeoServer team have identified a few areas where we would like to ask
for help. This is your best chance to identify issues early while we still
have time to do something about it.


   - Java 7 Testing
   - WFS Cascade
   - Curves support for GML and WMS
   - Advanced projection handling for raster
   - Coverage Views
   - Startup Testing
   - Pluggable Styles
   - Wind barbs and WKT Graphics
   - New Formats and Functionality

For details on testing the above features check out the blog post
