Darn. Good thing Victor was going to run cite tests against trunk and get back 
to me.

And I am sure our build boxes are taxed to within an inch of their life; thanks 
BTW it was useful to use hudson today.

I will be talking to the uDig community about that later in the month; I have a 
backlog of activities; as just like with geotools/ trunk is needed to support 
active development and cannot be shut off to suite an undefined release 
schedule. :-P

I am not sure we have had beta's of GeoTools before; usually the first couple 
release candidates match a beta of GeoServer. Indeed the place of milestone 
releases has basically been taken by maven at the moment.

I was specifically issuing the last two milestone releases to prepare for this 
time.

As indicated I could go for that ... and that has been the traditional role a 
RC has played for GeoTools is it not?

Have a look here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/geotools/files/

2.6.0
2.6-RC1
2.6-M3
2.6-M2
2.6-M1
