More items for the B2 changes document:
Implemented the Java SecurityManager.
Added the <DefaultContext .. /> element for configuration of defaults
for a Context which can be used in either the Engine or Host scope.
Switched Jasper over to using the URLClassLoader, put JSP java source
code and compiled class files in a directory hierarchy and simplified
the class and file naming. This improved Jasper compilation performance
by 33% and runtime performance by 25%.

-1 This is pretty short notice to release Beta 2. I haven't had a chance
yet to test the new mod_webapp code. I also would like to get my proposed
changes to how Tomcat unpacks web apps and the manager servlet done, I consider
some of this to be a bug fix. I should have these changes done in 2-4 days.
I would suggest waiting until the 27-30'th, get it out before ApacheCon.

Glenn
