I still plan to release the jakarta-tomcat HEAD as 3.3.1.
3.3a will be the original 3.3 source with just enough changes
to avoid the DOS problem.  This is for those who require
a "validated" version of Tomcat 3.3 and can't just switch
to a new version. Hopefully the minimal changes will make
it feasible for them to update.  I also plan to mention on the
site that for those who can switch, the nightly 3.3.x would be
as stable and more bug free than the current, or patched,
Tomcat 3.3.
 
It has been a requirement that Tomcat 3.x be able to run
under JDK1.1.8.  If we keep this requirement, the HEAD
of jakarta-tomcat isn't releasable at the moment.  I haven't
tried to track this down yet, but I assume it won't be a problem
to file. It's little issues like this that I don't routinely test that
make me reluctant to try to release the HEAD right away.
 
Cheers,
Larry

So, the 3.3a will be 'current Tomcat 3.3 HEAD from CVS, but released as 
3.3a'. Right?
