The proposed Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M25 release is now available for voting. This is a milestone release for the 9.0.x branch. It should be noted that, as a milestone release: - Servlet 4.0 is not finalised - The EGs have not started work on JSP 2.4, EL 3.1 or WebSocket 1.2/2.0
Note that the 9.0.0.M23 and 9.0.0.M24 release votes were cancelled due to regressions. The major changes compared to the 9.0.0.M22 release are: - Correct a regression in 9.0.0.M22 that prevented Tomcat from shutting down cleanly. - Add LoadBalancerDrainingValve, a Valve designed to reduce the amount of time required for a node to drain its authenticated users. - When generating JSP runtime error messages that quote the relevant JSP source code, switch from using the results of the JSP page parsing process to using the JSR 045 source map data to identify the correct part of the JSP source from the stack trace. This significantly reduces the memory footprint of Jasper in development mode, provides a small performance improvement for error page generation and enables source quotes to continue to be provided after a Tomcat restart. - Add support for a Tomcat specific deployment descriptor, /WEB-INF/tomcat-web.xml - Add ExtractingRoot, a new WebResourceRoot implementation that extracts JARs to the work directory for improved performance when deploying packed WAR files. Along with lots of other bug fixes and improvements.
