I would like to propose that we create a "beta 6" release of Tomcat 4.0 on
Thursday, July 19, 2001 (with me as release manager). This release will
incorporate:
- Fix for the security vulnerability (already present in the
20010717 nightly build).
- Updates to conform to Servlet 2.3 PFD3 and JSP 1.2 PFD3 requirements.
- New webapp class loader that operates faster, and fixes many bugs
present in the previous class loader.
- Fixes for all current issues reported against the J2EE 1.3-beta-2
reference implementation (which includes code that essentially
matched Tomcat 4.0-beta-5) that are relevant to Tomcat.
- Fixes for nearly all of the issues reported in Bugzilla against
Tomcat 4.0-beta-5.
- Beta-quality implementation of the mod_webapp connector.
---------- SNIP HERE ----------
Please vote on a Tomcat 4.0-beta-6 Release:
[ ] +1 - I support this proposal, and will actively assist
[ ] +0 - I support this proposal, but do not have time to assist
[ ] -0 - I do not support this proposal, but am not going to resist :-)
[ ] -1 - I oppose this proposal (backed by reasons and/or workarounds)
