The proposed Apache Tomcat 8.5.77 release is now available for voting.
The notable changes compared to 8.5.76 are:
- Fix a potential thread-safety issue that could cause HTTP/1.1 request
processing to pause, and potentially timeout, waiting for additional
data when the full request has been received.
- Fix a regression introduced with 65757 bugfix which better identified
non request threads but which introduced a similar problem when user
code was doing sequential operations in a single thread.
- When resolving methods in EL expressions that use beans and/or static
fields, ensure that any custom type conversion is considered when
identifying the method to call.
Along with lots of other bug fixes and improvements.
This is the second release of Tomcat 8.5 that has been built with Java
11 (in Java 7 mode) instead of Java 7. Please report any strangeness you
may observe especially if you are running Tomcat 8.5 in an environment
using Java < 11. We don't expect any issues, but understand that we
cannot test all possible environmental configurations.
