[jodygarnett]

As part of https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/Remove-OpenGIS we are contacting affected projects to coordinate upgrade to GeoTools 30.x series and refactoring the org.opengis package to org.geotools.api.

We had a really good sprint result and the GeoTools 30-SNAPSHOT jars are now ready for your evaluation.

Please see update instructions here: https://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/welcome/upgrade.html

There is a massive ant script we put together to refactor source code; you may need to adapt this for your use : )

@jodygarnett thx for reminding about it, all our tests pass with the update up to 30-SNAPSHOT (#3521) 🔥 Looking forward to seeing the release!

[jodygarnett]

That is such a vote of confidence - thanks :)

If you catch anything we missed please speak up :) We are trying to cut back from seven envelope classes for example.

Depends on #3301
