2019-03-19 Tomcat 8.5.39 Released

The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 8.5.39 of Apache Tomcat. Apache Tomcat 8.5.x replaces 8.0.x and includes new features pulled forward from Tomcat 9.0.x. The minimum Java version and implemented specification versions remain unchanged. The notable changes compared to 8.5.38 include:

  • The APR/Native connector now supports both OpenSSL and JSSE TLS configuration syntax (NIO and NIO2 already support this)
  • Various improvements to NIO2
  • Various fixes for HTTP/2 push requests
  • Refactor error handling so that errors that occur early in request processing are handled by the application's error handling where the application can be identified

Full details of these changes, and all the other changes, are available in the Tomcat 8.5 changelog.

2019-02-08 Tomcat 9.0.16 Released

The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 9.0.16 of Apache Tomcat. The notable changes compared to 9.0.14 include:

  • Update the packaged version of the Tomcat Native Library to 1.2.21 to pick up the memory leak fixes when using NIO/NIO2 with OpenSSL.
  • Remove extras (JMX remote listener and web services object factories) and merge them back into the core build.

  • Improve HTTP/2 timeout handling

Full details of these changes, and all the other changes, are available in the Tomcat 9 changelog.

Warning: There is a known regression in catalina.sh script. In configurations that use a PID file (configured via CATALINA_PID environment variable) a wrong PID value may be written, or the file is not created at all. See bug 63041 (and 53930). The workaround is to use catalina.sh file from Tomcat 9.0.13.
