This document attempts to convey the current status of Tomcat development
|
||
|
|
in "big picture" terms. This is not the place to check if an individual
|
||
|

bug report has been addressed or when an individual feature will be available.

This page is updated roughly once per every couple of Tomcat minor releases,
|
||
|
|
so for day-to-day status you should check the tomcat-user and tomcat-dev mailing
|
||
|
|
lists. You can always inquire there as to the availability or status of a
|
||
|
|
specific feature or component.

<b>Tomcat 5.0.27</b> was released on June 17th, 2004. At that time, the TOMCAT_5_0
|
||
|
|
branch was tagged in CVS, and work on Tomcat 5.5 began. We have now had several
|
||
|
|
Tomcat 5.5 releases, including a couple of stable ones. Accordingly, Tomcat 5.5
|
||
|
|
is now the focus on work. Tomcat 5.0 is in maintenance mode and its releases
|
||
|
|
will become less and less frequent.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<b>Tomcat 5.5</b> has several major goals. They are discussed in the tomcat-dev
|
||
|
|
mailing list's "5.next" thread:
|
||
|
|
<a href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-dev&w=2&r=1&s=5.next&q=b">MARC</a>.
|
||
|
|
The status of some of these items is detailed below. Once 5.5 releases are
|
||
|
|
available, please refer to the Changelog accompanying each release for detailed
|
||
|
|
changes, enhancements, and fixes.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<b>Tomcat 4.1.x</b> is no longer actively developed. It is maintained to address
|
||
|
|
only showstopper, security, and Servlet Specification compliance issues. Maintenance
|
||
|
|
for Tomcat 4.1.x will likely cease once a stable release or two of Tomcat 5.5 are out.
|
||
|
|
Users of Tomcat 4.1.x are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest stable Tomcat
|
||
|
|
5.0 release.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<b>Tomcat 4.0.x</b> is relatively old, and not actively maintained or supported.
|
||
|
|
It is strongly recommended that users of these releases upgrade to the latest
|
||
|
|
stable Tomcat 5.0 release or at least the latest stable Tomcat 4.1 release.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<b>Tomcat 3.3.x</b> is in roughly the same maintenance mode as Tomcat 4.1.x.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<b>Tomcat 3.2</b> and earlier are in roughly the same support state as Tomcat 4.0.x.
|
||
|
|
Users should upgrade to Tomcat 3.3.x or the latest stable Tomcat 5.0.x.

The columns in this report contain the following information:

<ul>
|

|
<li><b>Priority</b> - A sense of how important it is to address this
|

issue in the short term.</li>

<li><b>Action Item</b> - Concise description of the action item

to be completed. Where relevant, Java package names of the
|
||
|
|
primary classes involved are listed in [square brackets]</li>

<li><b>Volunteers</b> - Login of those developers who

have volunteered to assist in the design, implementation, testing, and

documentation of this action item's changes to Tomcat.</li>

</ul>
|

|
|
Developers can nominate
|
||
|
|
themselves to work on particular action items by asking a Committer to
|
||
|
|
add their name address to those items. The developers
|
||
|
|
working on each item should discuss and agree upon the approach to be
|
||
|
|
used for implementing the item's changes to the project source code
|
||
|
|
and documentation, prior to completing those changes. Such discussions
|
||
|
|
should take place on the tomcat-dev mailing list so that everyone can
|
||
|
|
stay apprised of what is going on, or chime in if they want to
|
||
|
|
contribute ideas and suggestions.
