Thanks, currently we have option to use APR but NIO is the default.
Perhaps we drop APR and then switch to Tomcat Native 2.

What if we have both tcnative-1.dll and tcnative-2.dll available, I guess that 
Tomcat will use tcnative-2.dll with NIO and tcnative-1.dll with APR ? 😊

The change log would be a good place to start:
https://tomcat.apache.org/native-doc/miscellaneous/changelog.html

The 2.0.0 entry describes what was removed/changed between 1.3.1 and 2.0.0

If you want to use one of the APR connectors, you need to use 1.3.x.

If you use NIO (or NIO2) with OpenSSL then 2.x is fine.

Note: Tomcat is moving towards just supporting NIO (no NIO2, no APR) for HTTP 
and AJP with OpenSSL support via Tomcat Native as an option for HTTP.
