* The new <local-ejb-ref> element (and associated subelements) supports
the optional EJB feature of local EJBs.
+PersistentManager: You can now configure the persistent session manager
+(along with an appropriate Store implementation) in the server.xml file.
+Added an example of this, commented out by default.

+SsiInvokerServlet: Can now be configured for virtual paths to be relative
+to the server's document root (the default, for NCSA compatibility) or the

Catalina Bug Fixes:
------------------
+Base64: Update to the new version of the Xerces Base64 encoder/decoder.
+The old one had problems encoding binary content.
+
+Catalina: Do not set an initial context factory.
+
+Naming: Make the initial context factory available during the init() method
+of a <load-on-startup> servlet.
+
+ApplicationContext: Fix for Bugzilla #1219. Previously, different web apps
+that used JAR files with the same name in their WEB-INF/lib directories could
+get access to classes from the wrong JAR file.
+
+StandardClassLoader: Change the way that security manager permissions are
+defined (for each web app) to account for the changes in the previous fix for
+cross-webapp JAR files.
+ApplicationFilterChain: If a filter or servlet throws a security exception
+(when run under a security manager), make the rethrown ServletException more
+useful by including the actual exception as a root cause.
+
+Bootstrap: Set the Catalina class loader as the thread context class loader.
+
+catalina.policy: Update the default security manager policies to reflet the
+fact that "${java.home}" on some JVMs actually points at "$JAVA_HOME/jre"
+instead of "$JAVA_HOME".

+WebdavServlet: Fix thread safety problems with the WebDAV servlet. The JAXP
+document builder is not thread-safe, but it was being reused. Now, a new
+instance is created on each request.
+
+DefaultServlet: Path "/." was not normalized properly (even though "/./" was).
+
+WebdavServlet: Prevent /WEB-INF and /META-INF from being deleted, or the
+contents of these directories from being modified, if read/write
+access is enabled. This is *not* enabled by default.
