Hi,
My application is currently using Apache Tomcat 9.0.120 on a RHEL 9.2.
We plan to utilize Apache Tomcat 9.1.x once it is released.
We are concerned about the timing of the 9.1.x release and if we will
have enough time to migrate/upgrade our application to using 9.1
before 9.0.x is officially EOL - which we see on Apache's website
states that 9.0 EOL is no earlier than March 31st 2027.
I understand that no release date has been provided for 9.1, but can
you provide guidance as to how long of a window or timeline software
vendors like us will have to migrate our applications before 9.0 is
EOL? The issue is security vulnerabilities.
12 months.
We have stated multiple times, on this mailing list, starting in March /
April this year that the first 9.1.x release will follow the final 9.0.x
release and that you will be able to treat it exactly like a 9.0.x to
9.0.x+1 update providing:
- you aren't using the APR connector
- if you are using Tomcat Native, you are using 2.0.x
You have from now (actually since ~April this year) to migrate off the
APR connector if you are using APR and to Native 2.0 x if you are using
Native 1.x.
Or, just migrate any time you want to Tomcat 10.1, or Tomcat 11.
Then you don't have to worry about anything happening with Tomcat 9.0/9.1.
