The native release this was blocked by has now happened. Running the unit tests has identified a series of problems with WebSocket and the APR/native connector on Windows. I think these are fixed but I need to wait for the unit test runs to complete. Literally as I typed the last sentence the Windows tests finished and they passed. Woot! I'll be tagging 8.0.0-RC2 in the next few hours. I expect Violeta will be tagging 7.0.43 either later today or early tomorrow. Awesome - thx for the update! -bob Is it still looking good for a 7.0.43 release this week? I noticed nothing has been tagged yet, so didn't know if there were some problems uncovered that need to be fixed. 7.0.43 was tagged about 6 hours before you sent this message :-): http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc7.0.x/tags/TOMCAT_7_0_43/ There is also currently a vote happening on the developer mailing list as to its stability and whether to release: http://tomcat.markmail.org/thread/yjx2p5n62k2mdcrt The Tomcat team encourages people willing to test proposed Tomcat releases before they are published to join the developer mailing list, download the proposed release, test it out, and report back any issues that they believe should block the release, if any, in the form of a non-binding vote on the release. Hope this helps, Nick That's great. I had checked right before emailing, but turns out my browser cached the tags URL and 43 didn't show up. I will definitely pull down/build it and let you know if we have any problems. -bob
