The proposed Apache Tomcat 8.5.61 release is now available for voting.

The notable changes compared to the 8.5.60 release are:

- 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.

Along with lots of other bug fixes and improvements.
