2020-12-08 Tomcat 9.0.41 Released
The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 9.0.41
of Apache Tomcat. The notable changes compared to 9.0.40 include:
- Align the behaviour of
ServletContext.getRealPath(String path)
with the recent clarification from the Servlet specification project. If the
path parameter does not start with /
then Tomcat processes the
call as if /
is appended to the beginning of the provided path.
- Fix a potential file descriptor leak when WebSocket connections are
attempted and fail. Patch provided by Maurizio Adami.
- Ensure that the LoadBalancerDrainingValve uses the correct setting
for the secure attribute for any session cookies it creates. Based on
a pull request by Andreas Kurth.
Full details of these changes, and all the other changes, are available in the
Tomcat 9
changelog.

of Apache Tomcat. Apache Tomcat 8.5.x replaces 8.0.x and includes new features

specification versions remain unchanged. The notable changes compared
to 8.5.60 include:

beta, 2020-12-08 Tomcat 10.0.0 Released
The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 10.0.0
(beta) of Apache Tomcat. This release is a beta release and is targeted at
Jakarta EE 9.
Users of Tomcat 10 onwards should be aware that, as a result of the move from
Java EE to Jakarta EE as part of the transfer of Java EE to the Eclipse
Foundation, the primary package for all implemented APIs has changed from
javax.*
to jakarta.*
. This will almost certainly
require code changes to enable applications to migrate from Tomcat 9 and earlier
to Tomcat 10 and later. A
migration
tool is under development to aid this process.
The notable changes in this release are:
- The Jakarta EE specifications are now final. Tomcat passes the TCKs apart
from a number of expected failures that don't impact specification
compliance.
- The APR/Native AJP and HTTP connectors have been deprecated. Tomcat Native
will continue to be used to support OpenSSL use with NIO and NIO2.
- Align the behaviour of
ServletContext.getRealPath(String path)
with the recent clarification from the Servlet specification project. If the
path parameter does not start with /
then Tomcat processes the
call as if /
is appended to the beginning of the provided path.
Full details of these changes, and all the other changes, are available in the
Tomcat 10
(beta) changelog.

fail when running under a SecurityManager. Pull request provided by
Kyle Stiemann.
Full details of these changes, and all the other changes, are available in the
Tomcat 7 changelog.
Note: End of life date for Apache Tomcat 7.0.x is announced.
