The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache
Tomcat 11.0.0-M12 (alpha).
Apache Tomcat 11 is an open source software implementation of the
Jakarta Servlet, Jakarta Server Pages, Jakarta Expression Language,
Jakarta WebSocket, Jakarta Authentication and Jakarta Annotations
specifications.
Users of Tomcat 10 onwards should be aware that, as a result of the move
from Java EE to Jakarta EE as part of the transfer of Java EE to the
Eclipse Foundation, the primary package for all implemented APIs has
changed from javax.* to jakarta.*. This will almost certainly require
code changes to enable applications to migrate from Tomcat 9 and earlier
to Tomcat 10 and later. A migration tool is available to aid this process.
Apache Tomcat 11.0.0-M12 is a milestone release of the 11.0.x branch and
has been made to provide users with early access to the new features in
Apache Tomcat 11.0.x so that they may provide feedback. The notable
changes compared to 11.0.0-M11 include:
- Provide a lifecycle listener that will automatically
reload TLS configurations a set time before the certificate is due to
expire. This is intended to be used with third-party tools that
regularly renew TLS certificates.
- Remove support for HTTP/2 server push
- Update Tomcat Native to 2.0.6 to pick up Windows binaries built with
OpenSSL 3.0.11
