> From: Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> > Subject: [ANN] Apache Tomcat 7.0.39 released > Date: March 27, 2013 12:01:13 PM GMT+01:00 > To: Tomcat Users List <us...@tomcat.apache.org> > Cc: annou...@tomcat.apache.org, annou...@apache.org, Tomcat Developers List > <d...@tomcat.apache.org> > > The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache > Tomcat 7.0.39. > Apache Tomcat is an open source software implementation of the Java > Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies. > > This release contains a number of bug fixes and improvements compared to > version 7.0.37. The notable changes include: > > - There have been multiple improvements in the bytes to/from characters > conversion process. The core conversion process has been refactored > to use the NIO APIs. This has resulted in a number of improvements > including invalid UTF-8 byte sequences at the end of a series of > bytes now trigger a conversion error rather than being silently > swallowed. Errors detected in request URIs will be replaced with the > replacement character (allowing the application to respond to the > invalid URI as it wishes) and errors in request bodies will trigger > an IOException. The use of the JVM provided UTF-8 decoder has been > replaced by a better UTF-8 decoder derived from Apache Harmony. This > improved decoder has earlier detection of error conditions and more > closely follows the Unicode specification regarding the use of > replacement characters. > - The annotation scanning process now provides more information if the > scan fails due to broken class dependencies. There is now enough > information to identify the class(es) at fault. The JAR scanning > process that supports annotation scanning has also seen multiple > improvements and fixes including the exclusion by default of the > Bootstrap class path from the scan. > - Upgraded a number of Tomcat's dependencies including Commons Daemon to > 1.0.14, Commons IO to 2.4 and Commons FileUpload to r1458500. A new > dependency on Commons Codec was added to replace Tomcat's internal > Base64 encoder/decoder. > > Please refer to the change log for the complete list of changes: > http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/changelog.html > > Note: This version has 4 zip binaries: a generic one and three > bundled with Tomcat native binaries for Windows operating systems > running on different CPU architectures. > > Note: If you use the APR/native AJP or HTTP connector you *must* upgrade > to version 1.1.24 or later of the AJP/native library and it is > recommended that you upgrade to 1.1.27 > > Downloads: > http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi > > Migration guides from Apache Tomcat 5.5.x and 6.0.x: > http://tomcat.apache.org/migration.html
