Hi guys, what's the plan?
1) we fix it (the fix is easy but need to be done on tomcat itself) - easy to do but not from our own code 2) we wait for 7.0.36 (next month i think) 3) we go back on 7.0.34 *Romain Manni-Bucau* *Twitter: @rmannibucau <https://twitter.com/rmannibucau>* *Blog: **http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com/*<http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com/> *LinkedIn: **http://fr.linkedin.com/in/rmannibucau* *Github: https://github.com/rmannibucau* ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jess Holle <[email protected]> Date: 2013/1/18 Subject: Re: [RESULT] [VOTE] Release Apache Tomcat 7.0.35 To: Tomcat Developers List <[email protected]> Cc: Mark Thomas <[email protected]> On 1/18/2013 3:13 PM, Mark Thomas wrote: > On 18/01/2013 19:32, Jeremy Boynes wrote: > >> On Wed, Jan 16, 2013 at 1:41 AM, Mark Thomas <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Votes were as follows: >>> >>> +1 (binding): kkolinko, rjung, yoavs, olamy, markt >>> >>> No other votes were cast. >>> >>> The vote therefore passes. >>> >>> I'll publish the binaries and announce later today once the mirrors have >>> caught up. >>> >> Given the regression with issue 54440, should this be withdrawn and a >> quick release of '36 be done? >> >> https://issues.apache.org/**bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54440<https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54440> >> > I'm wasn't planning on it.

For myself I went to 7.0.35, swore furiously about the bug -- almost just dropped back to 7.0.34 but then applied the patch and moved on. I guess the real question is how many "new to Tomcat" folk are realistically going to pick up 7.0.35 *and* jump to doing JSP precompilation *and* do so before 7.0.36 is out. If they're /not /new to Tomcat, then they know it *did* work and will start looking for where it stopped, check the mailing lists, etc. If not and they hit this issue before 7.0.36 is announced, then they'll just assume Tomcat is no good -- but how many folk will really fall into that category? -- Jess Holle
