Re: What is the possibility of / interest in a 4.1.31 release?

Glad to hear it.  Perhaps I'm dense, but this stance is not readily 
apparent from the Tomcat web page.

Contrast:

   *Tomcat 4.0.x*. Tomcat 4.0.6 is the old production quality release...

with

   *Tomcat 4.1.x*. Tomcat 4.1 is a refactoring of Tomcat 4.0.x, and
   contains significant enhancements, including...
Perhaps Tomcat 4.1.x's verbage should be more like Tomcat 4.0.x's, i.e. 
state that it is an "old production quality release"...

Hi,
It's unlikely you'll see a 4.1.x release for any one feature, unless
it's a critical security fix.  4.1.x will have bundle releases with
several features, less frequency.  We've been giving the message for a
while now that 5.x is the way to go, not least because less resources
(including release manager resources) are spent on 4.x.

Parallel question:

How many think that the public messaging should be that more along the
lines of "Tomcat 5 is now at least as stable/mature as Tomcat 4.1.30"
and that folk should upgrade to it?
Having asked, I still believe a 4.1.31 for such an issue as that
   

brought
 

up here would be appropriate.  I ask the question in terms of messaging
to users, OEMs, etc, that 4.1.x has been superseded by 5.0.x in terms
   

of
 

the best version for production -- if/when the community feels this is
reality.
Personally, I feel that 5.0.22 is at least as stable as the latest
4.1.x, is faster, and overall is preferable.

For a third time, we have had a defect logged on the fact that I
introduced a bug into JNDIRealm while adding a new filtering feature.
The fix was very simple and has been made, but post-release of 4.1.30.
That, and the admin application largely does not work due to an
unfortunate tagging problem.
What is the possibility that there will be a 4.1.31 release?  Is there
any interest in that?
I am not a committer and so cannot bring this about, but I wanted to
suggest that it seems to me to be a very good idea.
