Servlet 4.0 was released on 5 September 2017.
Java EE 8 platform was released on 18 September 2017.
It would have been helpful if Oracle had mentioned either of those
releases to the Servlet EG members.
I've taken a very quick look and the relevant specifications for Tomcat are:
- Java 8 (complete)
- Servlet 4.0 (should be complete but need to check for last minute
changes)
- JSP 2.3 (no change from Java EE 7 / Tomcat 8.x)
- EL 3.0 (no change from Java EE 7 / Tomcat 8.x)
- WebSocket 1.1 (no change from Tomcat 8.x)
- JASPIC 1.1 (no change from Java EE 7 / Tomcat 8.x)
The Tomcat team is a little busy elsewhere at the moment. A stable
Tomcat 9 release in September is highly unlikely.
Releases are typically on a monthly basis with the process starting at
the beginning of the month. The September releases are complete for
9.0.x and 8.5.x and would have been announced if it wasn't for
CVE-2017-12617.
Assuming that there have been no / trivial changes to the Servlet API
since the EG last saw it, I'd expect the October release to be either
beta or stable depending on how the community votes. If it is beta, the
community will consider whether to change that to stable for each
subsequent release until we have a first stable release. My personal
view is that we could get to a stable release pretty quickly. But I am
only one voice and this is a decision that the community makes.
