The proposed Apache Tomcat 8.5.63 release is now available for voting.

The notable changes compared to the 8.5.61 release are:

- Add a new StringInterpreter interface that allows applications to
  provide customised string attribute value to type conversion within
  JSPs. This allows applications to provide a conversion
  implementation that is optimised for the application.

- Add peerAddress to coyote request, which contains the IP address of
  the direct connection peer. If a reverse proxy sits in front of
  Tomcat and the protocol used is AJP or HTTP in combination with the
  RemoteIp(Valve|Filter), the peer address might differ from the
  remoteAddress. The latter then contains the address of the client in
  front of the reverse proxy, not the address of the proxy itself.

- Escape elements in the access log that need to be escaped for the
  access log to be parsed unambiguously.

Along with lots of other bug fixes and improvements.
