It was superceded by 4.1.x :).

While TC 4.0 started out as a Revolution, TC 4.1 is an Evolution over that. 
As Chris mentioned, they are compatible if you are only using the Servlet 
2.3/JSP 1.2 APIs.  However, I don't believe that they are compatible if you 
have custom Realms, Valves, etc.  But I think most of the time you just need 
to recompile your custom component against 4.1.  Also, the 4.0 Connectors 
are deprecated in 4.1 in favor of the Coyote Connectors.  So you shouldn't 
expect to just copy over your server.xml file and have it work well.

Tomcat 4.1 is supported (hey, we just shocked people yesterday telling them 
that 3.3 is still supported :), mostly by Mark.  Since he also is mostly 
updating the Tomcat security pages, I'm guessing that all of the known 
security problems are fixed there, but I haven't done an audit (don't use it 
in my day job anymore).
