You are presuming that there were no 9.0.x releases (beta!) which included this change with no comments for months. In fact, it was included in 9.0.2 with logging, then completed in 9.0.5 as Mark details in comment #14. I think this qualifies as a reasonably-slow roll-out. There is no reason to wait many years to change things... the alternative is an internet where it takes 20 years to widely-deploy new encryption capabilities (TLS) and effectively NEVER to properly-implement some IETF specifications (e.g. cookies). Sometimes you have to just have to remove the headphone jack. You took the big step of a 4-major-release-version jump and seem incensed that things aren't working exactly as they had worked before. This is the purpose of testing. In this case, you found a problem, engaged the community, and got a fix. Instead of complaining bitterly, how about a "thanks for the 5-day turnaround on a blocking issue I'm having"? If you wanted zero changes, you should have stayed on the version where you were. If you'd like to debate Tomcat's development methodologies, release cycles, or test-coverage, you are welcome to join the dev mailing list. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
