Along with the release, I have also created a branch (tomcat_40_branch) for doing maintenance releases against Tomcat 4.0 (4.0.1, etc.). The HEAD branch is now available for development towards an eventual 4.1 release. If you are posting patches, please try to be specific about which branch you are referring to -- although the code is currently identical, it will (of course) diverge over time. If you are committing patches, you should generally apply bug fixes to *both* branches. New enhancements should be applied, in general, only to the HEAD branch. Craig
