Mark,
Thank you for your reply. Any ideas on Tomcat 11 features that will be
included with a final release next year?
Virtual thread support was the the first major new feature and that was
included in the recent 11.0.0-M7 release. There will probably be more
loom related changes as it starts being used and bottlenecks are discovered.
We hoped to take advantage of project Panama to simplify OpenSSL
integration but that looks like it will remain in preview for Java 21.
QUIC is still on the radar but without Panama support it looks unlikely
that we'll add QUIC support to Tomcat 11.
The Jakarta spec changes look to be mostly about clarifying grey areas
and small feature improvements.
Other than that, the best thing to do is follow the change log and if
there are features you'd like to see, speak up.

Good afternoon,
I know we are in milestone 7 of Apache Tomcat 11, but do any of you know when
the release date will be for Apache Tomcat 11? It does not have to be an exact
date, but just a ballpark date.
The criteria for a stable release are:
- All implemented Jakarta specifications are released
- Tomcat has fully implemented all the specifications
- Committer judgement
Expanding on those, my best guess for the Jakarta EE specs to be
released is March. Tomcat follows the Jakarta development pretty closely
so I am fairly confident that Tomcat will have fully implemented the
relevant Jakarta EE 11 APIs long before the specs are finally released.
The committer judgement has changed over the years. Back when the major
Tomcat versions had significantly different code bases, we wanted to
allow time for bugs to be found before declaring a major release stable.
Currently we try and keep the code bases more in-line and are actively
looking for opportunities to reduce differences where we can. The major
benefit of this is a greater degree of confidence in the code. My best
guess in that the committers will declare Tomcat 11 stable a few Tomcat
release cycles after the Jakarta EE 11 release.
All that adds up to somewhere around June 2024 as a best guess at the
moment.
HTH,
Mark
