Hello, Checking the End-of-life announcements linked from https://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html it looks like we should have plenty of time before Tomcat 9 goes end-of-life.
We have quite a few changes/fixes we are trying to complete that are blocking us from making a new release, so I am reluctant to pursue an upgrade to Tomcat 10 until after 24.x is released. My preference is to delay the Tomcat 10 upgrade until after OFBiz 24 is released. Thanks, Dan.
