The Apache Tomcat Team announces that support for Apache Tomcat Native
1.3.x will end on 31 March 2027.
This means that after 31 March 2027:
- releases from the 1.3.x branch are highly unlikely
- bugs affecting only the 1.3.x branch will not be addressed
- security vulnerability reports will not be checked against the 1.3.x
branch
- Apache Tomcat releases after this date will require 2.0.x as a
minimum
Three months later (i.e. after 30 June 2027)
- the 1.3.x download pages will be removed
- the latest 1.3.x release will be removed from the mirror system
- the links to the 1.3.x documentation will be removed from
tomcat.apache.org
Please also note the following additional information:
Tomcat 10.1.x onwards require a minimum of Tomcat Native 2.0.x and are
therefore unaffected by this notice.
Tomcat 9.0.x will also reach end of life on 31 March 2027 and is
therefore unaffected by this notice.
All 1.3.x releases will always be available from the archive.
Tomcat Native 2.0.x is a drop-in replacement for 1.3.x but it does
not support the APR/Native connector.
