5.5.4 is quite stable. The place where it had issues is the webapp hot deployer, which was rewritten (the 5.0.x deployer didn't do hot deployment very well overall, so I suppose you're losing something, but not much). I think the problems have now been addressed in the latest 5.5.7 build (which hasn't been rated stable yet). Virtually all the other issues were bugs affecting 5.0.x as well, and those weren't all backported yet. You can see the changelog here: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/changelog.html If you're deploying on a new server, I recommend starting your process using the latest stable branch. If you're updating, and since there's likely a new stable build coming soon, you could wait for it. -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx R�my Maucherat Developer & Consultant JBoss Group (Europe) S�RL xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
