The proposed Apache Tomcat 8.5.70 release is now available for voting.
Chris was having some difficulties before the weekend getting the release to build. He hasn't had time to get to the bottom of these issues and time is ticking on so I took a look. I had different issues on Windows but was still unable to complete the release. With the addition of JSign, we have the option to build a full release on Linux so I tried that and it was successful. If successful, this will be the first release for a very long time built on Linux.
Given the above, additional scrutiny on the release artefacts targetted at Windows would be welcome.
The notable changes compared to the 8.5.69 release are: - Correct a regression in the previous release in the HTTP/2 flow control window management along with additional improvements to HTTP/2 flow control - Make the CorsFilter simpler to extend - To avoid unnecessary cache revalidation, do not add an HTTP Expires header when setting adding an HTTP header of CacheControl: private Along with lots of other bug fixes and improvements.
