Apache Tomcat 9 (9.0.118) - Changelog

## Changelog

### Tomcat 9.0.118 (remm)

#### Catalina

- Enhance `version.sh` and `version.bat` to display APR, Tomcat Native, and OpenSSL version information (both APR and FFM implementations), along with version compatibility warnings and third-party library version information. (csutherl)
- Refactor generation of the remote user element in the access log to remove unnecessary code. (markt)
- Fix a regression in the previous release that meant `?-` could appear in the access log rather than `?` when the query string was present but empty. (markt)
- Failed precondition should make WebDAV DELETE fail. #982 submitted by Mahmoud Alarby. (remm)
- Align the escaping in `ExtendedAccessLogValve` with the other `AccessLogValve` implementations. (markt)
- 70000: fix duplication of special headers in the response after commit, following fix for 69967. (remm)
- Correct the handling of URIs mapped to a security constraint that only specifies the special `**` role for all authenticated users. Requests without authentication were receiving 403 responses rather than 401 responses. (markt)
- Fix a race condition in `StandardContext.getServletContext()` that could cause the `jakarta.servlet.context.tempdir` attribute to be lost during a context reload. Make the `context` field volatile and use locking to ensure only one `ApplicationContext` instance is created. (dsoumis)
- Update the Windows authentication (kerberos) documentation to reflect that both Java and Windows are removing / have removed support for RC4-HMAC. The guide now uses AES256-SHA1. (markt)
- Add a new initialisation parameter for WebDAV, `maxRequestBodySize` which limits the size of a WebDAV request body for LOCK and PROPFIND. The default value is 4096 bytes. (markt)
- Add a new `caseSensitive` attribute to the `LockOutRealm` that controls the manner in which user names are treated when making locking decisions. The default is `false`, meaning user names are treated in a case insensitive manner. (markt)
- Correct the handling of invalid users with DIGEST authentication. (markt)
- Ensure `RealmBase` finds all matching extension based security constraints. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Avoid various edge cases if `Content-Length` is set via `setHeader(String,String)` or `addHeader(String,String)` with an invalid value by always clearing the previous value whether the new value is valid or not and ignoring any invalid new value. (markt)
- Refactor the calculation of the real index in the HPACK dynamic header table implementation to reduce code duplication. (markt)
- Fix various minor issues with some HTTP/2 stream error messages for HTTP/2. (markt)
- Consistently reject URIs containing `NULL` bytes when normalizing. (markt)
- Fix a few minor memory leaks on error paths reading TLS keys and certificates when using FFM. (markt)
- Refactor clean-up after HTTP/2 headers have been processed to aid GC after a stream reset. (markt)
- Align HTTP/2 trailer fields with HTTP/1.1 and filter out any fields not permitted in trailers. (markt)
- Free private keys after use in FFM based connector configuration. (markt)
- Correct an unlikely edge-case parsing bug in the HTTP/2 HPACK header decoding that could result in a valid header triggering an unexpected connection close. (markt)
- Refactor HTTP/2 HPACK encoding so header field names are only converted to lower case once during the encoding process. (markt)
- Refactor HTTP/2 header field validation so it occurs earlier. Extend validation to check for disallowed characters as well as upper case characters. (markt)
- Add TLS 1.3 groups added in OpenSSL 4.0. (remm)
- Add validation that the HTTP/2 `:scheme` pseudo-header is consistent with the use (or not) of TLS. (markt)
- Correct the validation of pseudo headers and CONNECT requests to align Tomcat's behaviour with RFC 9113, section 8.5. (markt)
- Fix a potential integer overflow when allocating capacity from a connection level window update to individual HTTP/2 streams. Based on #996 by Mike Tingey Jr. (markt)
- Switch AJP secret comparison to a constant time algorithm. (markt)

#### WebSocket

- Fix the initial connection to a WebSocket end point where the connection is made via a proxy that requires DIGEST authentication. (markt)

#### Other

- 69993: Update the URL to the CDDL 1.0 license. (markt)
- Add warning when OpenSSL binary is not found. (csutherl)
- Add check for Tomcat Native library, and log warning when it's not found to make it easier to see when it's not used by the suite. (csutherl)
- Update Byte Buddy to 1.18.8. (markt)
- Update Bouncy Castle to 1.84. (markt)
- Improvements to French translations. (remm)

### release in progress Tomcat 9.0.117 (remm)

#### Catalina

- Add escaping for URI and query string in the access log. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Align buffer reuse of the OpenSSLEngine for tomcat-native with the FFM code. (remm)
- Fix an HTTP/2 header frame parsing bug that could result in a connection being closed without a `GOAWAY` frame if an invalid `HEADERS` frame was received. (markt)
- 69982: Fix a bug in the non-blocking flushing code for NIO+TLS that meant that a response may not be fully written until the connection is closed. Pull request #966 provided by Phil Clay. (markt)
- Ensure the HTTP/2 request header read buffer is reset (including restoration to default size) after a stream reset. (markt)
- Provide trailer field filtering equivalent to that provided for non-trailer fields. Control characters (excluding TAB), and characters with code points above 255 will be replaced with a space. (markt)
- Align OpenSSl FFM behaviour with Tomcat Native for various OCSP edge cases. (markt)

#### Jasper

- 69995: Make dependent ordering predictable. Patch submitted by Jan Luehe. (remm)

- 69940: Improve redirect handling in the `LoadBalancerDrainingValve`. (schultz)

#### Coyote

- 69938: Avoid changing the closed state of TLS channel when resetting it after close. (remm)
- Add an HTTP configuration setting, `noCompressionEncodings`, that can be used to control which content encodings will not be compressed when compression is enabled. Based on pull request #914 by Long9725. (markt)
- Add size limit for OCSP responses. Based on code submitted by Chenjp. (remm)
- To maintain the documented alignment with the OpenSSL development branch, the use of the aliases `SSLv3`, `EXPORT`, `EXPORT40`, `EXPORT56`, `KRB5`, `kFZA`, `aFZA`, `eFZA` and `FZA` are no longer supported when setting the `ciphers` attribute of an `SSLHostConfig` element. (markt)
- To maintain the documented alignment with the OpenSSL development branch, add support for the aliases `ARIAGCM` and `CBC`when setting the `ciphers` attribute of an `SSLHostConfig` element. (markt)

- Free the x509 object in the FFM code when getting the peer certificate if getting the bytes from the certificate somehow fails. Pull request #951 provided by Chenjp. (remm)
- Improve HPACK exception use, making sure `HpackException` is thrown instead of unexpected types. (remm)
- Update the parser for the HTTP `Host` header and `:authority` pseudo header to convert the port, if any, to an `Integer` rather than a `Long` to be consistent with how port is exposed in the Servlet API. (markt)
- To aid the migration from the single `ciphers` configuration attribute to the use of `ciphers` and `cipherSuites`, TLS 1.3 cipher suites listed in the `ciphers` attribute will be removed from the `ciphers` attribute and added to the end of the `cipherSuites` attribute. This behaviour will be removed in Tomcat 12.0.x onwards. (markt)
- Replace the external OpenSSL based OCSP responder used during unit tests with a Bouncy Castle based, in-process Java OCSP responder. (markt)
- Relax HTTP/2 header validation and respond to invalid requests with a stream reset or a 400 response as appropriate rather then with a connection reset. (markt)
- Add validation of chunk extensions for chunked transfer encoding. (markt)
- Update the recommended version for Tomcat Native to 1.3.7. (markt)
- Align the FFM handling of OCSP `TRY_LATER` responses with Tomcat Native. (remm)
- Free CA certificate after calling `SSL_CTX_add_client_CA` in the FFM code. Based on code from PR 44 from tomcat-native. (remm)
- Free certificate chain if an error occurs, in the FFM code. (remm)

- Better warning message when `OpenSSLConf` configuration elements are used with a JSSE TLS implementation. (markt)
- When using OpenSSL via FFM, don't log a warning about missing CA certificates unless CA certificates were configured and the configuration failed. (markt)
- For configuration consistency between OpenSSL and JSSE TLS implementations, TLSv1.3 cipher suites included in the `ciphers` attribute of an `SSLHostConfig` are now always ignored (previously they would be ignored with OpenSSL implementations and used with JSSE implementations) and a warning is logged that the cipher suite has been ignored. (markt)
- Add the `ciphersuite` attribute to `SSLHostConfig` to configure the TLSv1.3 cipher suites. (markt)
- Add OCSP support to JSSE based TLS connectors and make the use of OCSP configurable per connector for both JSSE and OpenSSL based TLS implementations. Align the checks performed by OpenSSL with those performed by JSSE. (markt)

#### Catalina

- Weak etags in the `If-Range` header should not match as strong etags are required. (remm)

### not released Tomcat 9.0.101 (remm)

#### Catalina

- When looking up class loader resources by resource name, the resource name should not start with '/'. If the resource name does start with '/', Tomcat is lenient and looks it up as if the '/' was not present. When the web application class loader was configured with external repositories and names starting with '/' were used for lookups, it was possible that cached 'not found' results could effectively hide lookup results using the correct resource name. (markt)
- Enable the JNDIRealm to validate credentials provided to `HttpServletRequest.login(String username, String password)` when the realm is configured to use GSSAPI authentication. (markt)
- Fix a bug in the JRE compatibility detection that incorrectly identified Java 19 and Java 20 as supporting Java 21 features. (markt)

- Add a check to ensure that, if one or more web applications are potentially vulnerable to CVE-2024-56337, the JVM has been configured to protect against the vulnerability and to configure the JVM correctly if not. Where one or more web applications are potentially vulnerable to CVE-2004-56337 and the JVM cannot be correctly configured or it cannot be confirmed that the JVM has been correctly configured, prevent the impacted web applications from starting. (markt)
- Remove unused session to client map from `CrawlerSessionManagerValve`. Submitted by Brian Matzon. (remm)
- When using the WebDAV servlet with `serveSubpathOnly` set to `true`, ensure that the destination for any requested WebDAV operation is also restricted to the sub-path. (markt)

- Avoid a rare `NullPointerException` when recycling the `Http11InputBuffer`. (markt)
- Lower the log level to debug for logging an invalid socket channel when processing poller events for the NIO Connector as this may occur in normal usage. (markt)
- Clean-up references to the HTTP/2 stream once request processing has completed to aid GC and reduce the size of the HTTP/2 recycled request and response cache. (markt)
- Add a new Connector configuration attribute, `encodedReverseSolidusHandling`, to control how `%5c` sequences in URLs are handled. The default behaviour is unchanged (decode) keeping in mind that the allowBackslash attribute determines how the decoded URI is processed. (markt)
- 69545: Improve CRLF skipping for the `available` method of the `ChunkedInputFilter`. (remm)
- Improve the performance of repeated calls to `getHeader()`. Pull request #813 provided by Adwait Kumar Singh. (markt)

#### Catalina

- Add option to serve resources from subpath only with WebDAV Servlet like with DefaultServlet. (michaelo)
- Add special handling for the `protocols` attribute of `SSLHostConfig` in storeconfig. (remm)
- 69442: Fix case sensitive check on `content-type` when parsing request parameters. (remm)
- Refactor duplicate code for extracting media type and subtype from `content-type` into a single method. (markt)
- Compatibility of generated embedded code with components where constructors or property related methods throw a checked exception. (remm)
- The previous fix for inconsistent resource metadata during concurrent reads and writes was incomplete. (markt)

- 69466: Rework handling of HEAD requests. Headers explicitly set by users will not be removed and any header present in a HEAD request will also be present in the equivalent GET request. There may be some headers, as per RFC 9110, section 9.3.2, that are present in a GET request that are not present in the equivalent HEAD request. (markt)
- 69471: Log instances of `CloseNowException` caught by `ApplicationDispatcher.invoke()` at debug level rather than error level as they are very likely to have been caused by a client disconnection or similar I/O issue. (markt)
- Add a test case for the fix for 69442. Also refactor references to `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`. Based on pull request #779 by Chenjp. (markt)

- Enhance Content-Range verification for partial PUT requests handled by the default servlet. Provided by Chenjp in pull request #778. (markt)
- Harmonize `DataSourceStore` lookup in the global resources to optionally avoid the `comp/env` prefix which is usually not used there. (remm)
- As required by RFC 9110, the HTTP `Range` header will now only be processed for `GET` requests. Based on pull request #790 provided by Chenjp. (markt)
- Deprecate the `useAcceptRanges` initialisation parameter for the default servlet. It will be removed in Tomcat 12 onwards where it will effectively be hard coded to `true`. (markt)
- Add `DataSource` based property storage for the `WebdavServlet`. (remm)

#### Coyote

- Align `encodedSolidusHandling` with the Servlet specification. If the pass-through mode is used, any `%25` sequences will now also be passed through to avoid errors and/or corruption when the application decodes the path. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Further optimise EL evaluation of method parameters. Patch provided by Paolo B. (markt)
- Follow-up to the fix for 69381. Apply the optimisation for method lookup performance in expression language to an additional location. (markt)

#### Web applications

#### Catalina

- Add support for the new Servlet API method `HttpServletResponse.sendEarlyHints()`. (markt)
- 55470: Add debug logging that reports the class path when a `ClassNotFoundException` occurs in the digester or the web application class loader. Based on a patch by Ralf Hauser. (markt)
- 69374: Properly separate between table header and body in `DefaultServlet`'s listing. (michaelo)
- 69373: Make `DefaultServlet`'s HTML listing file last modified rendering better (flexible). (michaelo)
- Improve HTML output of `DefaultServlet`. (michaelo)
- Refactor `RateLimitFilter` to use `FilterBase` as the base class. The primary advantage for doing this is less code to process `init-param` values. (markt)
- 69370: `DefaultServlet`'s HTML listing uses incorrect labels. (michaelo)
- Avoid NPE in `CrawlerSessionManagerValve` for partially mapped requests. (remm)
- Add missing WebDAV `Lock-Token` header in the response when locking a folder. (remm)
- Invalid WebDAV lock requests should be rejected with 400. (remm)
- Fix regression in WebDAV when attempting to unlock a collection. (remm)
- Verify that destination is not locked for a WebDAV copy operation. (remm)
- Send 415 response to WebDAV `MKCOL` operations that include a request body since this is optional and unsupported. (remm)
- Enforce `DAV:` namespace on WebDAV XML elements. (remm)
- Do not allow a new WebDAV lock on a child resource if a parent collection is locked (RFC 4918 section 6.1). (remm)
- WebDAV `DELETE` should remove any existing lock on successfully deleted resources. (remm)
- Remove WebDAV lock null support in accordance with RFC 4918 section 7.3 and annex D. Instead a lock on a non existing resource will create an empty file locked with a regular lock. (remm)
- Rewrite implementation of WebDAV shared locks to comply with RFC 4918. (remm)
- Implement WebDAV `If` header using code from the Apache Jackrabbit project. (remm)
- Add `PropertyStore` interface in the WebDAV Servlet, to allow implementation of dead properties storage. The store used can be configured using the `propertyStore` init parameter of the WebDAV servlet by specifying the class name of the store. A simple non persistent implementation is used if no custom store is configured. (remm)
- Implement WebDAV `PROPPATCH` method using the newly added `PropertyStore`, and update `PROPFIND` to support it. (remm)
- Cache not found results when searching for web application class loader resources. This addresses performance problems caused by components such as `java.sql.DriverManager` which, in some circumstances, will search for the same class repeatedly. In a large web application this can cause performance problems. The size of the cache can be controlled via the new `notFoundClassResourceCacheSize` on the StandardContext. (markt)
- Stop after `INITIALIZED` state should be a noop since it is possible for subcomponents to be in `FAILED` after init. (remm)
- Fix incorrect web resource cache size calculations when there are concurrent `PUT` and `DELETE` requests for the same resource. (markt)
- Add debug logging for the web resource cache so the current size can be tracked as resources are added and removed. (markt)
- Replace legacy WebDAV `opaquelocktoken:` scheme for lock tokens with `urn:uuid:` as recommended by RFC 4918, and remove `secret` init parameter. (remm)
- Concurrent reads and writes (e.g. `GET` and `PUT` / `DELETE`) for the same path caused corruption of the `FileResource` where some of the fields were set as if the file exists and some were set as if it does not. This resulted in inconsistent metadata. (markt)
- 69415: Ensure that the `ExpiresFilter` only sets cache headers on `GET` and `HEAD` requests. Also skip requests where the application has set `Cache-Control: no-store`. (markt)
- 69419: Improve the performance of `ServletRequest.getAttribute()` when there are multiple levels of nested includes. Based on a patch provided by John Engebretson. (markt)
- All applications to send an early hints informational response by calling `HttpServletResponse.sendError()` with a status code of 103. (schultz)

#### Coyote

- Return null SSL session id on zero length byte array returned from the SSL implementation. (remm)
- Skip OpenSSLConf with BoringSSL since it is unsupported. (remm)
- Create the `HttpParser` in `Http11Processor` if it is not present on the `AbstractHttp11Protocol` to provide better lifecycle robustness for regular HTTP/1.1. The new behavior was introduced on a previous refactoring to improve HTTP/2 performance. (remm)
- `OpenSSLContext` will now throw a `KeyManagementException` if something is known to have gone wrong in the `init` method, which is the behavior documented by `javax.net.ssl.SSLContext.init`. This makes error handling more consistent. (remm)

#### Jasper

- Add back tag release method as deprecated in the runtime for compat with old generated code. (remm)
- 69399: Fix regression caused by the improvement 69333 which caused the tag `release` to be called when using tag pooling, and to be skipped when not using it. Patch submitted by Michal Sobkiewicz. (remm)
- 69381: Improve method lookup performance in expression language. When the required method has no arguments there is no need to consider casting or coercion and the method lookup process can be simplified. Based on pull request #770 by John Engebretson. (markt)
- 69382: Improve the performance of the JSP include action by re-using results of relatively expensive method calls in the generated code rather than repeating them. Patch provided by John Engebretson. (markt)
- 69398: Avoid unnecessary object allocation in `PageContextImpl`. Based on a suggestion by John Engebretson. (markt)
- 69406: When using `StringInterpreterEnum`, do not throw an `IllegalArgumentException` when an invalid `Enum` is encountered. Instead, resolve the value at runtime. Patch provided by John Engebretson. (markt)
- 69429: Optimise EL evaluation of method parameters for methods that do not accept any parameters. Patch provided by John Engebretson. (markt)

- Ensure that the Jakarta Authentication `CallbackHandler` only creates one `GenericPrincipal` in the `Subject`. (markt)
- If the Jakarta Authentication process fails with an Exception, explicitly set the HTTP response status to 500 as the `ServerAuthContext` may not have set it. (markt)
- When persisting the Jakarta Authentication provider configuration, create any necessary parent directories that don't already exist. (markt)
- Correct the logic used to detect errors when deleting temporary files associated with persisting the Jakarta Authentication provider configuration. (markt)
- When processing Jakarta Authentication callbacks, don't overwrite a Principal obtained from the `PasswordValidationCallback` with `null` if the `CallerPrincipalCallback` does not provide a Principal. (markt)
- Avoid store config backup loss when storing one configuration more than once per second. (remm)
- 69359: `WebdavServlet` duplicates `getRelativePath()` method from super class with incorrect Javadoc. (michaelo)

- Make `WebdavServlet` properly return the `Allow` header when deletion of a resource is not allowed. (michaelo)
- Add log warning if non wildcard mappings are used with the `WebdavServlet`. (remm)
- 69361: Ensure that the order of entires in a multi-status response to a WebDAV is consistent with the order in which resources were processed. (markt)
- 69362: Provide a better multi-status response when deleting a collection via WebDAV fails. Empty directories that cannot be deleted will now be included in the response. (markt)
- 69363: Use `getPathPrefix()` consistently in the WebDAV servlet to ensure that the correct path is used when the WebDAV servlet is mounted at a sub-path within the web application. (markt)

#### Coyote

- 69316: Ensure that `FastHttpDateFormat#getCurrentDate()` (used to generate Date headers for HTTP responses) generates the correct string for the given input. Prior to this change, the output may have wrong by one second in some cases. Pull request #751 provided by Chenjp. (markt)
- Add `server` and `serverRemoveAppProvidedValues` to the list of attributes the HTTP/2 protocol will inherit from the HTTP/1.1 connector it is nested within. (markt)
- Avoid possible crashes when using Apache Tomcat Native, caused by destroying SSLContext objects through GC after APR has been terminated. (remm)
- Improve HTTP/2 handling of trailer fields for requests. Trailer fields no longer need to be recieved before the headers of the subsequent stream nor are trailer fields for an in progress stream swallowed if the Connector is paused before the trailer fields are received. (markt)
- Ensure the request and response are not recycled too soon for an HTTP/2 stream when a stream level error is detected during the processing of incoming HTTP/2 frames. This could lead to incorrect processing times appearing in the access log. (markt)

### 2024-09-17 Tomcat 9.0.95 (remm)

#### Coyote

- Fix 69320, a regression in the fix for 69302 that meant the HTTP/2 processing was likely to be broken for all clients once any client sent an HTTP/2 reset frame. (markt)

### 2024-09-10 Tomcat 9.0.94 (remm)

#### Catalina

- Improve performance of `ApplicationHttpRequest.parseParameters()`. Based on sample code and test cases provided by John Engebretson. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Correct a regression in the fix for non-blocking reads of chunked request bodies that caused `InputStream.available()` to return a non-zero value when there was no data to read. In some circumstances this could cause a blocking read to block waiting for more data rather than return the data it had already received. (markt)
- Add a new attribute `cookiesWithoutEquals` to the `Rfc6265CookieProcessor`. The default behaviour is unchanged. (markt)
- Ensure that Tomcat sends a TLS close_notify message after receiving one from the client when using the `OpenSSLImplementation`. (markt)
- 69301: Fix trailer headers replacing non-trailer headers when writing response headers to the access log. Based on a patch and test case provided by hypnoce. (markt)
- 69302: If an HTTP/2 client resets a stream before the request body is fully written, ensure that any `ReadListener` is notified via a call to `ReadListener.onErrror()`. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Switch the `TldScanner` back to logging detailed scan results at debug level rather than trace level. (markt)

#### WebSocket

- If a blocking message write exceeds the timeout, don't attempt the write again before throwing the exception. (markt)
- An EncodeException being thrown during a message write should not automatically cause the connection to close. The application should handle the exception and make the decision whether or not to close the connection. (markt)

#### Web applications

- Documentation. Align the logging configuration documentation with the current defaults. (markt)

#### jdbc-pool

- 69255: Correct a regression in the fix for 69206 that meant exceptions executing statements were wrapped in an `java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException` rather than the application seeing the original `SQLException`. Fixed by pull request #744 provided by Michael Clarke. (markt)
- 69279: Correct a regression in the fix for 69206 that meant that methods that previously returned a `null` `ResultSet` were returning a proxy with a null delegate. Fixed by pull request #745 provided by Huub de Beer. (markt)

#### Other

- Exclude the `tomcat-coyote-ffm.jar` from JAR scanning by default. (markt)
- Change the default log handler level to `ALL` so log messages are not dropped by default if a logger is configured to use trace (`FINEST`) level logging. (markt)
- Update Hamcrest to 3.0. (markt)
- Update EasyMock to 5.4.0. (markt)
- Update Byte Buddy to 1.15.0. (markt)
- Update CheckStyle to 10.18.0. (markt)

- Improvements to Japanese translations by tak7iji. (markt)

### 2024-08-06 Tomcat 9.0.93 (remm)

#### Coyote

- Correct regressions in the refactoring that added recycling of the coyote request and response to the HTTP/2 processing. (markt)

### not released Tomcat 9.0.92 (remm)

#### Catalina

- Add support for RFC 8297 (Early Hints). Applications can use this feature by casting the `HttpServletResponse` to `org.apache.catalina.connector.Reponse` and then calling the method `void sendEarlyHints()`. This method will be added to the Servlet API (removing the need for the cast) in Servlet 6.2 onwards. (markt)
- 69214: Do not reject a CORS request that uses POST but does not include a `content-type` header. Tomcat now correctly processes this as a simple CORS request. Based on a patch suggested by thebluemountain. (markt)
- Refactor `SpnegoAuthenticator` so it uses `Subject.callAs()` rather than `Subject.doAs()` when the available. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Add OpenSSL integration using the FFM API rather than Tomcat Native. OpenSSL support may be enabled by adding the `org.apache.catalina.core.OpenSSLLifecycleListener` listener on the `Server` element when using Java 22 or later. (remm)
- Ensure that HTTP/2 stream input buffers are only created when there is a request body to be read. (markt)
- Refactor creation of HttpParser instances from the Processor level to the Protocol level since the parser configuration depends on the protocol and the parser is, otherwise, stateless. (markt)
- Align HTTP/2 with HTTP/1.1 and recycle the container internal request and response processing objects by default. This behaviour can be controlled via the new `discardRequestsAndResponses` attribute on the HTTP/2 upgrade protocol. (markt)

#### jdbc-pool

- 69206: Ensure statements returned from `Statement` methods `executeQuery()`, `getResultSet()` and `getGeneratedKeys()` are correctly wrapped before being returned to the caller. Based on pull request #742 provided by Michael Clarke.

#### Other

- Fix packaging regression with missing osgi information following addition of the `test-only` build target. (remm)
- Update Tomcat Native to 1.3.1. (markt)
- Update Byte Buddy to 1.14.18. (markt)
- Improvements to French translations. (remm)
- Improvements to Japanese translations by tak7iji. (markt)

### 2024-07-08 Tomcat 9.0.91 (remm)

#### Catalina

- Allow `JAASRealm` to use the configuration source to load a configured `configFile`, for easier use with testing. (remm)
- Add missing algorithm callback to the `JAASCallbackHandler`. (remm)
- 69131: Expand the implementation of the `filter` value of the Authenticator attribute `allowCorsPreflight`, so that it applies to all requests that match the configured URL patterns for the CORS filter, rather than only applying if the CORS filter is mapped to `/*`. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Improve the algorithm used to identify the IP address to use to unlock the acceptor thread when a Connector is listening on all local addresses. Interfaces that are configured for point to point connections or are not currently up are now skipped. (markt)
- 69121: Ensure that the `onComplete()` event is triggered if `AsyncListener.onError()` dispatches to a target that throws an exception. (markt)
- Following the trailer header field refactoring, `-1` is no longer an allowed value for `maxTrailerSize`. Adjust documentation accordingly. (remm)

#### Jasper

- Update the optimisation in `jakarta.el.ImportHandler` so it is aware of new classes added to the `java.lang` package in Java 23. (markt)
- Ensure that an exception in `toString()` still results in an `ELException` when an object is coerced to a String using `ExpressionFactory.coerceToType()`. (markt)
- Add support for specifying Java 24 (with the value `24`) as the compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with an Eclipse JDT compiler version that does not support these values, a warning will be logged and the default will used. (markt)
- 69135: When using include directives in a tag file packaged in a JAR file, ensure that context relative includes are processed correctly. (markt)
- 69135: When using include directives in a tag file packaged in a JAR file, ensure that file relative includes are processed correctly. (markt)
- 69135: When using include directives in a tag file packaged in a JAR file, ensure that file relative includes are are not permitted to access files outside of the `/META_INF/tags/` directory nor outside of the JAR file. (markt)

#### Web applications

- Fix status servlet detailed view of the connectors when using automatic port. (remm)

#### Other

- Deprecate the `WebdavFixFilter` as it is no longer required. (markt)
- 69066: Fix regression in SPNEGO authenticator when processing Base64. Submitted by Daniel Lyko. (remm)
- Update minimum recommended version of Tomcat Native to 1.3.0. Pull request #728 provided by Dimitrios Soumis. (markt)
- The system property `org.apache.catalina.connector.RECYCLE_FACADES` will now default to `true` if not specified, which will in turn set the default value for the `discardFacades` connector attribute, thus causing facade objects to be discarded by default. (remm)
- Add `RealmBase.getPrincipal(GSSName, GSSCredential, GSSContext)` for retrieving extended/additional information from an established GSS context. (michaelo)
- Correct a regression in the fix for 68721 that caused some instances of `LinkageError` to be reported as `ClassNotFoundException`. (markt)
- Ensure that static resources deployed via a JAR file remain accessible when the context is configured to use a bloom filter. Based on pull request #730 provided by bergander. (markt)
- Introduce reference counting so the `AprLifecycleListener` is more robust. This particularly targets more complex embedded configurations with multiple server instances with independent lifecycles where more than one server instance requires the `AprLifecycleListener`. (markt)

#### Coyote

- 69068: Ensure read timouts are triggered for asynchronous, non-blocking reads when using HTTP/2. (markt)
- 69133: Add task queue size configuration on the `Connector` element, similar to the `Executor` element, for consistency. (remm)
- Make counting of active HTTP/2 streams per connection more robust. (markt)
- Add support for TLS 1.3 client initiated re-keying. (markt)

#### Jasper

- 68546: Small additional optimisation for initial loading of Servlet code generated for JSPs. Based on a suggestion by Dan Armstrong. (markt)

#### Web applications

- Add the ability to set a sub-title for the Manager web application main page. This is intended to allow users with lots of instances to easily distinguish them. Based on pull request #724 by Simon Arame. (markt)

#### Other

- Improvements to French translations. (remm)
- Improvements to Japanese translations by tak7iji. (markt)

### 2024-05-07 Tomcat 9.0.89 (remm)

#### Catalina

- Deprecate and remove `sessionCounter` (replaced by the addition of the active session count and the expired session count, as a reasonable approximation) and `duplicates` (which does not represent a possible event in current implementations) statistics from the session manager. (remm)
- 68890 Align output encoding of JSPs in the Manager webapp with the XML declarations in those same files. (schultz)
- Update Basic authentication to implement the requirements of RFC 7617 including the changing of the `trimCredentials` setting which is now defaults to `false`. Note that the `trimCredentials` setting will be removed in Tomcat 11. (markt)
- Small performance optimization when logging cookies with no values. (schultz)
- Correct error handling for asynchronous requests. If the application performs an dispatch during `AsyncListener.onError()` the dispatch is now performed rather than completing the request using the error page mechanism. (markt)
- Fix WebDAV lock null (locks for non existing resources) thread safety and removal. (remm)
- Add periodic checking for WebDAV locks expiration. (remm)
- Extend `Asn1Parser` to parse `UTF8String`s. (michaelo)

#### Coyote

- Align non-secure and secure writes with NIO and skip the write attempt when there are no bytes to be written. (markt)
- Allow any positive value for `socket.unlockTimeout`. If a negative or zero value is configured, the default of `250ms` will be used. (mark)
- Reduce the time spent waiting for the connector to unlock. The previous default of 10s was noticeably too long for cases where the unlock has failed. The wait time is now 100ms plus twice `socket.unlockTimeout`. (markt)
- Ensure that the `onAllDataRead()` event is triggered when the request body uses chunked encoding and is read using non-blocking IO. (markt)
- 68934: Add debug logging in the latch object when exceeding `maxConnections`. (remm)
- Refactor trailer field handling to use a `MimeHeaders` instance to store trailer fields. (markt)
- Ensure that multiple instances of the same trailer field are handled correctly. (markt)
- Fix non-blocking reads of chunked request bodies. (markt)
- When an invalid HTTP response header was dropped, an off-by-one error meant that the first header in the response was also dropped. Fix based on pull request #710 by foremans. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Add support for specifying Java 23 (with the value `23`) as the compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with an Eclipse JDT compiler version that does not support these values, a warning will be logged and the default will used. (markt)

#### WebSocket

- 69844: Close the connection with a protocol error if the server sends masked frames. (markt)
- 68884: Reduce the write timeout when writing WebSocket close messages for abnormal closes. The timeout defaults to 50 milliseconds and may be controlled using the `org.apache.tomcat.websocket.ABNORMAL_SESSION_CLOSE_SEND_TIMEOUT` property in the user properties collection associated with the WebSocket session. (markt)

#### Web applications

- Examples: Improve performance of WebSocket chat application when multiple clients disconnect at the same time. (markt)
- Examples: Increase the number of previous messages displayed when using the WebSocket chat application. (markt)
- Examples: Improve performance of WebSocket snake application when multiple clients disconnect at the same time. (markt)

- Improvements to Japanese translations by tak7iji. (markt)

### 2024-04-16 Tomcat 9.0.88 (remm)

#### Catalina

- Add `highConcurrencyStatus` attribute to the `SemaphoreValve` to optionally allow the valve to return an error status code to the client when a permit cannot be acquired from the semaphore. (remm)
- Add checking of the "age" of the running Tomcat instance since its build-date to the SecurityListener, and log a warning if the server is old. (schultz)
- When using the `AsyncContext`, throw an `IllegalStateException`, rather than allowing an `NullPointerException`, if an attempt is made to use the `AsyncContext` after it has been recycled. (markt)
- Change the thread-safety mechanism for protecting StandardServer.services from a simple synchronized lock to a ReentrantReadWriteLock to allow multiple readers to operate simultaneously. Based upon a suggestion by Markus Wolfe. (schultz)
- Improve Service connectors, Container children and Service executors access sync using a ReentrantReadWriteLock. (remm)
- Improve handling of integer overflow if an attempt is made to upload a file via the Servlet API and the file is larger than `Integer.MAX_VALUE`. (markt)
- 68862: Handle possible response commit when processing read errors. (remm)

#### Coyote

- Add `threadsMaxIdleTime` attribute to the endpoint, to allow configuring the amount of time before an internal executor will scale back to the configured `minSpareThreads` size. (remm)

#### Jasper

- Handle the case where the JSP engine forwards a request/response to a Servlet that uses an `OutputStream` rather than a `Writer`. This was triggering an `IllegalStateException` on code paths where there was a subsequent attempt to obtain a `Writer`. (markt)
- Correctly handle the case where a tag library is packaged in a JAR file and the web application is deployed as a WAR file rather than an unpacked directory. (markt)
- Prevent the web application's ClassLoader from being pinned by the JSP compiler if an application uses a custom XMLInputFactory. Based upon a suggestion from Simon Niederberger. (schultz)

#### Other

- Improvements to Chinese translations by leeyazhou. (remm)

### 2024-03-14 Tomcat 9.0.87 (remm)

#### Catalina

- Minor performance improvement for building filter chains. Based on ideas from pull request #702 by Luke Miao. (remm)
- Align error handling for `Writer` and `OutputStream`. Ensure use of either once the response has been recycled triggers a `NullPointerException` provided that `discardFacades` is configured with the default value of `true`. (markt)
- 68692: The standard thread pool implementations that are configured using the `Executor` element now implement `ExecutorService` for better support NIO2. (remm)
- 68495: When restoring a saved POST request after a successful FORM authentication, ensure that neither the URI, the query string nor the protocol are corrupted when restoring the request body. (markt)
- 68721: Workaround a possible cause of duplicate class definitions when using `ClassFileTransformer`s and the transformation of a class also triggers the loading of the same class. (markt)
- The rewrite valve should not do a rewrite if the output is identical to the input. (remm)
- Add a new `valveSkip` (or `VS`) rule flag to the rewrite valve to allow skipping over the next valve in the Catalina pipeline. (remm)

#### Coyote

- Improve the HTTP/2 stream prioritisation process. If a stream uses all of the connection windows and still has content to write, it will now be added to the backlog immediately rather than waiting until the write attempt for the remaining content. (markt)
- Correct a regression in the support for user provided `SSLContext` instances that broke the `org.apache.catalina.security.TLSCertificateReloadListener`. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Add support for specifying Java 22 (with the value `22`) as the compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with an Eclipse JDT compiler version that does not support these values, a warning will be logged and the default will used. (markt)

#### Cluster

- Avoid updating request count stats on async. (remm)

#### Other

- Improvements to French translations. (remm)
- Improvements to Japanese translations by tak7iji. (markt)
- 57130: Allow digest.(sh|bat) to accept password from a file or stdin. (csutherl/schultz)

### 2024-02-19 Tomcat 9.0.86 (remm)

#### Catalina

- Correct JPMS and OSGi meta-data for `tomcat-enbed-core.jar` by removing reference to `org.apache.catalina.ssi` package that is no longer included in the JAR. Based on pull request #684 by Jendrik Johannes. (markt)
- Fix ServiceBindingPropertySource so that trailing `\r\n` sequences are correctly removed from files containing property values when configured to do so. Bug identified by Coverity Scan. (markt)
- Add improvements to the CSRF prevention filter including the ability to skip adding nonces for resource name and subtree URL patterns. (schultz)
- Review usage of debug logging and downgrade trace or data dumping operations from debug level to trace. (remm)
- 68089: Further improve the performance of request attribute access for `ApplicationHttpRequest` and `ApplicationRequest`. (markt)
- 68559: Allow asynchronous error handling to write to the response after an error during asynchronous processing. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Make asynchronous error handling more robust. Ensure that once a connection is marked to be closed, further asynchronous processing cannot change that. (markt)
- Make asynchronous error handling more robust. Ensure that once the call to `AsyncListener.onError()` has returned to the container, only container threads can access the `AsyncContext`. This protects against various race conditions that would otherwise occur if application threads continued to access the `AsyncContext`.
- Review usage of debug logging and downgrade trace or data dumping operations from debug level to trace. In particular, most of the HTTP/2 debug logging has been changed to trace level. (remm)
- Add support for user provided `SSLContext` instances configured on `SSLHostConfigCertificate` instances. Based on pull request #673 provided by Hakan Altındağ. (markt)
- Improve the Tomcat Native shutdown process to reduce the likelihood of a JVM crash during Tomcat shutdown. (markt)
- Partial fix for 68558: Cache the result of converting to `String` for request URI, HTTP header names and the request `Content-Type` value to improve performance by reducing repeated `byte[]` to `String` conversions. (markt)
- Improve error reporting to HTTP/2 clients for header processing errors by reporting problems at the end of the frame where the error was detected rather than at the end of the headers. (markt)
- Remove the remaining reference to a stream once the stream has been recycled. This makes the stream eligible for garbage collection earlier and thereby improves scalability. (markt)

#### Jasper

- 68546: Generate optimal size and types for JSP imports maps, as suggested by John Engebretson. (remm)
- Review usage of debug logging and downgrade trace or data dumping operations from debug level to trace. (remm)

#### WebSocket

- Correct a regression in the fix for 66508 that could cause an `UpgradeProcessor` leak in some circumstances. (markt)
- Review usage of debug logging and downgrade trace or data dumping operations from debug level to trace. (remm)

#### Coyote

- Refactor the `VirtualThreadExecutor` so that it can be used by the NIO2 connector which was using platform threads even when configured to use virtual threads. (markt)
- Correct a regression in the fix for 67675 that broke TLS key file parsing for PKCS#8 format keys that do not specify an explicit pseudo-random function and rely on the default. This typically affects keys generated by OpenSSL 1.0.2. (markt)
- Allow multiple operations with the same name on introspected mbeans, fixing a regression caused by the introduction of a second `addSslHostConfig` method. (remm)
- Relax the check that the HTTP Host header is consistent with the host used in the request line, if any, to make the check case insensitive since host names are case insensitive. (markt)
- 68348: Add support for the partitioned attribute for cookies. (markt)

#### Web Applications

- 68035: Additional fix to the Manager application to enable the deployment of a web application located in a Host's `appBase` where the web application is specified by a bare (no path) WAR or directory name as shown in the documentation. (markt)

#### Other

- 68227: Ensure that `AsyncListener.onComplete()` is called if `AsyncListener.onError()` calls `AsyncContext.dispatch()`. (markt)
- 68228: Use a 408 status code if a read timeout occurs during HTTP request processing. Includes a test case based on code provided by adwsingh. (markt)

#### Jasper

- 68119: Refactor the `CompositeELResolver` to improve performance during type conversion operations. (markt)

- The status servlet included in the manager webapp can now output statistics as JSON, using the `JSON=true` URL parameter. (remm)
- Optionally allow ServiceBindingPropertySource to trim a trailing newline from a file containing a property-value. (schultz)
- 67793: Ensure the original session timeout is restored after FORM authentication if the user refreshes a page during the FORM authentication process. Based on a suggestion by Mircea Butmalai. (markt)
- 67926: `PEMFile` prints unidentifiable string representation of ASN.1 OIDs. (michaelo)
- 66875: Ensure that setting the request attribute `jakarta.servlet.error.exception` is not sufficient to trigger error handling for the current request and response. (markt)
- 68054: Avoid some file canonicalization calls introduced by the fix for 65433. (remm)
- 68089: Improve performance of request attribute access for `ApplicationHttpRequest` and `ApplicationRequest`. (markt)
- Use a 400 status code to report an error due to a bad request (e.g. an invalid trailer header) rather than a 500 status code. (markt)
- Ensure that an `IOException` during the reading of the request triggers always error handling, regardless of whether the application swallows the exception. (markt)

#### Coyote

- 66670: Add `SSLHostConfig#certificateKeyPasswordFile` and `SSLHostConfig#certificateKeystorePasswordFile`. (michaelo)
- When calling `SSLHostConfigCertificate.setCertificateKeystore(ks)`, automatically call `setCertificateKeystoreType(ks.getType())`. (markt)
- 67628: Clarify how the `ciphers` attribute of the `SSLHostConfig` is used. (markt)
- 67666: Ensure TLS connectors using PEM files either work with the `TLSCertificateReloadListener` or, in the rare case that they do not, log a warning on Connector start. (markt)
- 67675: Support a wider range of KDF and ciphers for PEM files than the combinations supported by the JVM by default. Specifically, support the OpenSSL default of HmacSHA256 and DES-EDE3-CBC. (markt)
- 67927: Reloading TLS configuration can cause the Connector to refuse new connections or the JVM to crash. (markt)
- 67934: If both Tomcat Native 1.2.x and 2.0.x are available, prefer 1.2.x since it supports the APR/Native connector whereas 2.0.x does not. (markt)
- 67938: Correct handling of large TLS client hello messages that were causing the TLS handshake to fail. (markt)
- 68026: Convert selected `MessageByte` values to String when first accessed to speed up subsequent accesses and reduce garbage collection. (markt)

#### Jasper

- 68068: Performance improvement for EL. Based on a suggestion by John Engebretson. (markt)

#### Web applications

### 2023-10-10 Tomcat 9.0.81 (remm)

#### Catalina

- 65770: Provide a lifecycle listener that will automatically reload TLS configurations a set time before the certificate is due to expire. This is intended to be used with third-party tools that regularly renew TLS certificates. (markt)
- Fix handling of an error reading a context descriptor on deployment. (remm)
- Fix rewrite rule qsd (query string discard) being ignored if qsa was also use, while it should instead take precedence. (remm)

- #451: Improve the usefulness of the thread name cache used in JULI. Pull request provided by t-gergely. (markt)

#### Coyote

- 65563: Correct parsing of HTTP `Content-Range` headers. Tomcat was incorrectly requiring an `=` character after `bytes`. Fix based on pull request #449 by Thierry Guérin. (markt)
- Correct a potential `StackOverflowException` with HTTP/2 and sendfile. (markt)
- Further improvements in the management of the connection flow control window. This addresses various bugs that caused streams to incorrectly report that they had timed out waiting for an allocation from the connection flow control window. (markt)
- 65577: Fix a `AccessControlException` reporting when running an NIO2 connector with TLS enabled. (markt)
- Reclassify TLS ciphers that use AESCCM8 as medium security rather than high security to align with recent changes in OpenSSL. (markt)
- Fix an issue that caused some Servlet non-blocking API reads of the HTTP request body to incorrectly use blocking IO. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Fix the implementation of `MethodExpression.getMethodInfo()` so that it returns the expected value rather than failing when the method expression is defined with the parameter values in the expression rather than the types being passed explicitly to `ExpressionFactory.createMethodExpression()`. (markt)

#### WebSocket

### 2021-09-10 Tomcat 9.0.53 (remm)

#### Catalina

- Enable Tomcat to start if an (old) XML parser is configured that does not support `allow-java-encodings`. A warning will be logged if such an XML parser is detected. (markt)
- Change the behaviour of custom error pages. If an error occurs after the response is committed, once the custom error page content has been added to the response the connection is now closed immediately rather than closed cleanly. i.e. the last chunk that marks the end of the response body is no longer sent. This acts as an additional signal to the client that the request experienced an error. (markt)
- 65479: When handling requests using JASPIC authentication, ensure that `PasswordValidationCallback.getResult()` returns the result of the password validation rather than always returning `false`. Fixed via pull request #438 provided by Robert Rodewald. (markt)
- Refactor the authenticators to delegate the check for preemptive authentication to the individual authenticators where an authentication scheme specific check can be performed. Based on pull request #444 by Robert Rodewald. (markt)
- Improve the reusability of the `UserDatabase` by adding intermediate concrete implementation classes and allowing to do partial database updates on `save`. (remm)
- Add a `UserDatabase` implementation as a superset of the `DataSourceRealm` functionality. (remm)
- Make sure the dynamic Principal returned by `UserDatabaseRealm` stays up to date with the database contents, and add an option to have it be static, similar to the other realms. (remm)

- 65661: Update the internal fork of Apache Commons FileUpload to 33d2d79 (2021-09-01, 2.0-SNAPSHOT). Refactoring and code clean-up. As a result of Commons File Upload now using `java.nio.file.Files`, applications using multi-part uploads need to ensure that the JVM is configured with sufficient direct memory to store all in progress multi-part uploads. (markt)

### 2021-08-06 Tomcat 9.0.52 (remm)

#### Catalina

- 65476: Correct an error in some code clean-up that mean that web application classes were not configured with the correct package. (markt)

### not released Tomcat 9.0.51 (remm)

#### Catalina

- 65411: Always close the connection when an uncaught `NamingException` occurs to avoid connection locking. Submitted by Ole Ostergaard. (remm)
- 65433: Correct a regression in the fix for 65397 where a `StringIndexOutOfBoundsException` could be triggered if the canonical path of the target of a symlink was shorter than the canonical path of the directory in which the symlink had been created. Patch provided by Cedomir Igaly. (markt)
- 65443: Refactor the `CorsFilter` to make it easier to extend. (markt)
- To avoid unnecessary cache revalidation, do not add an HTTP `Expires` header when setting adding an HTTP header of `CacheControl: private`. (markt)

#### Coyote

- When writing an HTTP/2 response via sendfile (only enabled when `useAsyncIO` is true) the connection flow control window was sometimes ignored leading to various error conditions. sendfile now checks both the stream and connection flow control windows before writing. (markt)
- Add debug logging for writing an HTTP/2 response via sendfile. (markt)
- Correct bugs in the HTTP/2 connection flow control management that meant it was possible for a connection to stall waiting for a connection flow control window update that had already arrived. Any streams on that connection that were trying to write when this happened would time out. (markt)
- 65448: When using TLS with NIO, it was possible for a blocking response write to hang just before the final TLS packet associated with the response until the connection timed out at which point the final packet would be sent and the connection closed. (markt)
- 65454: Fix a race condition that could result in a delay to a new request. The new request could be queued to wait for an existing request to finish processing rather than the thread pool creating a new thread to process the new request. (markt)
- 65460: Correct a regression introduced in the previous release in the change to reduce the number of small HTTP/2 window updates sent for streams. A logic error meant that small window updates for the connection were dropped. This meant that the connection flow window slowly reduced over time until nothing could be sent. (markt)

#### Web applications

- 65404: Correct a regression in the fix for 63362 that caused the server status page in the Manager web application to be truncated if HTTP upgrade was used such as when starting a WebSocket connection. (markt)

#### Other

- Use of GraalVM native images no longer automatically disables JMX support. JMX support may still be disabled by calling `org.apache.tomcat.util.modeler.Registry.disableRegistry()`. (markt)

### 2021-07-02 Tomcat 9.0.50 (remm)

#### Jasper

- Jakarta to Javax backport issue in tests. (remm)

### not released Tomcat 9.0.49 (remm)

#### Catalina

- Refactor the `RemoteIpValve` to use the common utility method for list to comma separated string conversion. (markt)
- Refactor `JNDIRealm$JNDIConnection` so its fields are accessible to sub-classes of `JNDIRealm`. (markt)
- Fix serialization warnings in `UserDatabasePrincipal` reported by SpotBugs. (markt)
- 65397: Calls to `ServletContext.getResourcePaths()` no longer include symbolic links in the results unless `allowLinking` has been set to `true`. If a resource is skipped because of this change, a warning will be logged as this typically indicates a configuration issue. (markt)

#### Coyote

- 65368: Improve handling of clean closes of inbound TLS connections. Treat them the same way as clean closes of non-TLS connections rather than as unknown errors. (markt)
- Modify the HTTP/2 connector not to sent small updates for stream flow control windows to the user agent as, depending on how the user agent is written, this may trigger small writes from the user agent that in turn trigger the overhead protection. Small updates for stream flow control windows are now combined with subsequent flow control window updates for that stream to ensure that all stream flow control window updates sent from Tomcat are larger than `overheadWindowUpdateThreshold`. (markt)
- Add additional debug logging to track the current state of the HTTP/2 overhead count that Tomcat uses to detect and close potentially malicious connections. (markt)
- Many HTTP/2 requests from browsers will trigger one overhead frame and one non-overhead frame. Change the overhead calculation so that a non-overhead frame reduces the current overhead count by 2 rather than 1. This means that, over time, the overhead count for a well-behaved connection will trend downwards. (markt)
- Change the initial HTTP/2 overhead count from `-10` to `-10 * overheadCountFactor`. This means that, regardless of the value chosen for `overheadCountFactor`, when a connection opens 10 overhead frames in a row will be required to trigger the overhead protection. (markt)
- Increase the default `overheadCountFactor` from `1` to `10` and change the reduction in overhead count for a non-overhead frame from `-2` to `-20`. This allows for a larger range (0-20) to be used for `overheadCountFactor` providing for finer-grained control. (markt)
- Modify the parsing of HTTP header values that use the `1#token` to ignore empty elements as per RFC 7230 section 7 instead of treating the presence of empty elements as an error. (markt)
- Expand the unit tests for `HttpServlet.doHead()` and correct the flushing of the response buffer. The buffer used to behave as if it was one byte smaller than the configured size. The buffer was flushed (and the response committed if required) when the buffer was full. The buffer is now flushed (and the response committed if required) if the buffer is full and there is more data to write. (markt)
- Fix an issue where concurrent HTTP/2 writes (or concurrent reads) to the same connection could hang and eventually timeout when async IO was enabled (it is enabled by default). (markt)

#### Jasper

- 65390: Correct a regression in the fix for 65124 and restore code that was removed in error leading to JSP compilation failures in some circumstances. (markt)
- Update to the Eclipse JDT compiler 4.20. (markt)
- Add support for specifying Java 17 (with the value `17`) as the compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with an Eclipse JDT compiler version that does not support these values, a warning will be logged and the latest supported version will used. (markt)
- 65377: Update the Java code generation for JSPs not to use the boxed primitive constructors as they have been deprecated in Java 9 and marked for future removal in Java 16. `valueOf()` is now used instead. (markt)

#### WebSocket

- Refactor the `DigestAuthenticator` to reuse a shared `SecureRandom` instance rather than create a new one to generate the `cnonce` if required. (markt)

#### Web applications

- Add debug logging for HTTP/2 HPACK header decoding. (markt)
- Correct parsing of HTTP headers consisting of a list of tokens so that a header with an empty token is treated consistently regardless of whether the empty token is at the start, middle or end of the list of tokens. (markt)
- Remove support for the `identity` transfer encoding. The inclusion of this encoding in RFC 2616 was an error that was corrected in 2001. Requests using this transfer encoding will now receive a 501 response. (markt)
- Process transfer encoding headers from both HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1 clients. (markt)
- Ensure that if the transfer encoding header contains the `chunked`, that the `chunked` encoding is the final encoding listed. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Review code used to generate Java source from JSPs and tags and remove code found to be unnecessary. (markt)
- Refactor use of internal `ChildInfo` class to use compile time type checking rather than run time type checking. (markt)
- 65358: Improve expression language method matching for methods with varargs. Where multiple methods may match the provided parameters, the method that requires the fewest varargs is preferred. (markt)
- 65332: Add a commented out section in `catalina.policy` that provides the necessary permissions to compile JSPs with javac when running on Java 9 onwards with a security manager. It is commented out as it will cause errors if used with earlier Java versions. (markt)

#### WebSocket

#### Other

- Improvements to French translations. (remm)
- Improvements to Korean translations. (woonsan)

- When generating the error message for an HTTP request with an invalid request line, ensure that all the available data is included in the error message. (markt)
- 65272: Restore the optional HTTP feature that allows `LF` to be treated as a line terminator for the request line and/or HTTP headers lines as well as the standard `CRLF`. This behaviour was previously removed as a side-effect of the fix for CVE-2020-1935. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Review code used to generate Java source from JSPs and tags and remove code found to be unnecessary. (markt)
- `<servlet>` entries in web.xml that include a `<jsp-file>` element and a negative `<load-no-startup>` element that is not the default value of `-1` will no longer be loaded at start-up. This makes it possible to define a `<jsp-file>` that will not be loaded at start-up. (markt)
- Allow the JSP configuration option `useInstanceManagerForTags` to be used with Tags that are implemented as inner classes. (markt)

#### WebSocket

- Refactor the way Tomcat passes path parameters to POJO end points to simplify the code. (markt)
- 65262: Refactor the creation of WebSocket end point, decoder and encoder instances to be more IoC friendly. Instances are now created via the `InstanceManager` where possible. (markt)

#### Web applications

- Ensure that the `AsyncListener.onError()` event is triggered when a I/O error occurs during non-blocking I/O. There were some cases discovered where this was not happening. (markt)
- Make the non-blocking I/O error handling more robust by handling the case where the application code swallows an `IOException` in `WriteListener.onWritePossible()` and `ReadListener.onDataAvailable()`. (markt)
- Correct syntax error in output of `JsonErrorReportValve`. Pull request provided by Viraj Kanwade. (markt)
- Make the `StandardContext.postWorkDirectory()` protected rather than private to help users wishing to customise the default work directory behaviour. (markt)

- 65137: Ensure that a response is not corrupted as well as incomplete if the connection is closed before the response is fully written due to a write timeout. (markt)
- Related to bug 65131, make sure all errors from OpenSSL are fully cleared, as there could be more than one error present after an operation (confirmed in the OpenSSL API documentation). (remm)
- Make handling of OpenSSL read errors more robust when plain text data is reported to be available to read. (markt)
- Correct handling of write errors during non-blocking I/O to ensure that the associated `AsyncContext` was closed down correctly. (markt)

#### Catalina

- 60781: Escape elements in the access log that need to be escaped for the access log to be parsed unambiguously. (fschumacher/markt)
- 64110: Add support for additional TLS related request attributes that provide details of the protocols and ciphers requested by a client in the initial TLS handshake. (markt)
- Let the `RemoteCIDRValve` inherit from `RequestFilterValve` and support all of its features. Especially add support for connector specific configuration using `addConnectorPort`. (rjung)
- 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. Support for the peer address has been added to the RemoteAddrValve and RemoteCIDRValve with the new attribute `usePeerAddress`. This can be used to restrict access to Tomcat based on the reverse proxy IP address, which is especially useful to harden access to AJP connectors. The peer address can also be logged in the access log using the new `%{peer}a` syntax. (rjung)
- Avoid uncaught InaccessibleObjectException on Java 16 trying to clear references threads. (remm)

- Refactor the APR/Native endpoint TLS configuration code to enable JSSE style configuration - including JKS keystores - to be used with the APR/Native connector. (markt)
- With the TLS configuration refactoring, the configuration attributes `sessionCacheSize` and `sessionTimeout` are no longer limited to JSSE implementations. They may now be used with OpenSSL implementations as well. (markt)
- Refactor NIO2 read pending strategy for the classic IO API. (remm)
- 63182: Avoid extra read notifications for HTTP/1.1 with NIO2 when using asynchronous threads. (remm)

#### WebSocket

- Remove the `STREAMS_DROP_EMPTY_MESSAGES` system property that was introduced to work-around four failing TCK tests. An alternative solution has been implemented. Sending messages via `getSendStream()` and `getSendWriter()` will now only result in messages on the wire if data is written to the `OutputStream` or `Writer`. Writing zero length data will result in an empty message. Note that sending a message via an `Encoder` may result in the message being send via `getSendStream()` or `getSendWriter()`. (markt)

### not released Tomcat 9.0.15 (markt)

#### Catalina

- 54741: Add a new method, `Tomcat.addWebapp(String,URL)`, that allows a web application to be deployed from a URL when using Tomcat in embedded mode. (markt)
- 63002: Fix setting rewrite qsdiscard flag. (remm)
- Implement the requirements of section 8.2.2 2c of the Servlet specification and prevent a web application from deploying if it has fragments with duplicate names and is configured to use relative ordering of fragments. (markt)
- Ensure that the HEAD response is consistent with the GET response when `HttpServlet` is relied upon to generate the HEAD response and the GET response uses chunking. (markt)
- Ensure that the `ServletOutputStream` implementation is consistent with the requirements of asynchronous I/O and that all of the write methods use a single write rather than multiple writes. (markt)
- Correct the Javadoc for `Context.getDocBase()` and `Context.setDocBase()` and remove text that indicates that a URL may be used for the `docBase` as this has not been the case for quite some time. (markt)
- Add basic health check valve. (remm)

- 63003: Extend the `unloadDelay` attribute on a `Context` to include in-flight asynchronous requests. (markt)
- 63026: Add a new attribute, `forceDnHexEscape`, to the `JNDIRealm` that forces escaping in the String representation of a distinguished name to use the `\nn` form. This may avoid issues with realms using Active Directory which appears to be more tolerant of optional escaping when the `\nn` form is used. (markt)
- Avoid a swallowed (and therefore ignored) access failure during web application class loading when running under a `SecurityManager`. (markt)
- Add SSL configuration options to the JMX remote listener using the `SSLHostConfig` framework. (remm)

- Ensure that the network connection is closed if the client receives an I/O error trying to communicate with the server. (markt)
- Ignore synthetic methods when scanning POJO methods. (markt)
- Implement the requirements of section 5.2.1 of the WebSocket 1.1 specification and ensure that if the deployment of one Endpoint fails, no Endpoints are deployed for that web application. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Refactor HTTP date creation and parsing to reduce code duplication, reduce the use of ThreadLocals and to increase the use of caching. (markt)
- 56676: Add a default location for the native library, as ${catalina.home}/bin, which the testsuite already uses. (remm)
- 60560: Add support for using an inherited channel to the NIO connector. Based on a patch submitted by Thomas Meyer with testing and suggestions by Coty Sutherland. (remm)
- 62507: Ensure that JSSE based TLS connectors work correctly with a DKS keystore. (markt)
- Refactor code that adds an additional header name to the `Vary` HTTP response header to use a common utility method that addresses several additional edge cases. (markt)
- 62515: When a connector is configured (via setting `bindOnInit` to `false`) to bind/unbind the server socket during start/stop, close the socket earlier in the stop process so new connections do not sit in the TCP backlog during the shutdown process only to be dropped as stop completes. In this scenario new connections will now be refused immediately. (markt)
- 62526: Correctly handle PKCS12 format key stores when the key store password is configured to be the empty string. (markt)
- 62605: Ensure `ReadListener.onDataAvailable()` is called when the initial request body data arrives after the request headers when using asynchronous processing over HTTP/2. (markt)
- 62614: Ensure that `WriteListener.onWritePossible()` is called after `isReady()` returns `false` and the window size is subsequently incremented when using asynchronous processing over HTTP/2. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Correct the manifest for the annotations-api.jar. The JAR implements the Common Annotations API 1.3 and the manifest should reflect that. (markt)
- Switch to non-static loggers where there is a possibility of a logger becoming associated with a web application class loader causing log messages to be lost if the web application is stopped. (markt)
- 62389: Add the IPv6 loopback address to the default `internalProxies` regular expression. Patch by Craig Andrews. (markt)
- In the `RemoteIpValve` and `RemoteIpFilter`, correctly handle the case when the request passes through one or more `trustedProxies` but no `internalProxies`. Based on a patch by zhanhb. (markt)
- Correct the logic in `MBeanFactory.removeConnector()` to ensure that the correct Connector is removed when there are multiple Connectors using different addresses but the same port. (markt)
- Make `JAASRealm` mis-configuration more obvious by requiring the authenticated Subject to include at least one Principal of a type specified by `userClassNames`. (markt)

#### Coyote

- 62080: Ensure that all reads of the current thread's context class loader made by the UEL API and implementation are performed via a `PrivilegedAction` to ensure that a `SecurityException` is not triggered when running under a `SecurityManager`. (mark)
- 62350: Refactor `org.apache.jasper.runtime.BodyContentImpl` so a `SecurityException` is not thrown when running under a SecurityManger and additional permissions are not required in the `catalina.policy` file. This is a follow-up to the fix for 43925. (kkolinko/markt)
- Enable JspC from Tomcat 9 to work with Maven JspC compiler plug-ins written for Tomcat 8.5.x. Patch provided by Pavel Cibulka. (markt)
- Update web.xml, web-fragment.xml and web.xml extracts generated by JspC to use the Servlet 4.0 version of the relevant schemas. (markt)

#### Cluster

- Remove duplicate calls when creating a replicated session to reduce the time taken to create the session and thereby reduce the chances of a subsequent session update message being ignored because the session does not yet exist. (markt)
- Add the method to send a message with a specified sendOptions. (kfujino)
- When sending the `GET_ALL_SESSIONS` message, make sure that sends with asynchronous option in order to avoid ack timeout. Waiting to receive the `ALL_SESSION_DATA` message should be done with `waitForSendAllSessions` instead of ACK. (kfujino)

- 52381: Add OSGi metadata to JAR files. (markt)
- 62391: Remove references to `javaw.exe` as this file is not required by Tomcat and the references prevent the use of the Server JRE. (markt)
- Update the packaged version of the Tomcat Native Library to 1.2.17 to pick up the latest Windows binaries built with APR 1.6.3 and OpenSSL 1.0.2o. (markt)
- 62458: Update the internal fork of Commons Pool 2 to dfef97b (2018-06-18) to pick up some bug fixes and enhancements. (markt)

- Refactor the check for a paused connector to consistently prevent new streams from being created after the connector has been paused. (markt)
- Improve debug logging for HTTP/2 pushed streams. (markt)
- The OpenSSL engine SSL session will now ignore invalid accesses. (remm)
- 62177: Correct two protocol errors with HTTP/2 `PUSH_PROMISE` frames. Firstly, the HTTP/2 protocol only permits pushes to be sent on peer initiated requests. Secondly, pushes must be sent in order of increasing stream ID. These restriction were not being enforced leading to protocol errors at the client. (markt)

#### Web applications

- Add document for `FragmentationInterceptor`. (kfujino)
- Document how the roles for an authenticated user are determined when the `CombinedRealm` is used. (markt)

### 2018-03-08 Tomcat 9.0.6 (markt)

#### Catalina

- 43866: Add additional attributes to the Manager to provide control over which listeners are called when an attribute is added to the session when it has already been added under the same name. This is to aid clustering scenarios where `setAttribute()` is often called to signal that the attribute value has been mutated and needs to be replicated but it may not be required, or even desired, for the associated listeners to be triggered. The default behaviour has not been changed. (markt)
- Minor optimization when calling class transformers. (rjung)
- Pass errors triggered by invalid requests or unavailable services to the application provided error handling and/or the container provided error handling (`ErrorReportValve`) as appropriate. (markt)
- 41007: Add the ability to specify static HTML responses for specific error codes and/or exception types with the `ErrorReportValve`. (markt)

- Fix for `RequestDumperFilter` log attribute. Patch provided by Kirill Romanov via Github. (violetagg)
- 62123: Avoid `ConcurrentModificationException` when attempting to clean up application triggered RMI memory leaks on web application stop. (markt)
- When a deployment descriptor is deployed that includes a `path` attribute, log a warning that the `path` attribute will be ignored. (markt)
- When a deployment descriptor is deployed that references an external `docBase` and, as a result, a `docBase` under the `appBase` will be ignored, log a warning. (markt)
- Correct a regression in the fix for 60276 that meant that compression was applied to all MIME types. Patch provided by Stefan Knoblich. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Add async HTTP/2 parser for NIO2. (remm)
- Add minor HPACK fixes, based on fixes by Stuart Douglas. (remm)
- 61751: Follow up fix so that OpenSSL engine returns underflow when unwrapping if no bytes were produced and the input is empty. (remm)
- Minor OpenSSL engine cleanups. (remm)
- NIO SSL handshake should throw an exception on overflow status, like NIO2 SSL. (remm)

- Avoid duplicate load attempts if one has been made already. (remm)
- Avoid NPE in ThreadLocalLeakPreventionListener if there is no Engine. (remm)
- 62000: When a JNDI reference cannot be resolved, ensure that the root cause exception is reported rather than swallowed. (markt)
- 62036: When caching an authenticated user Principal in the session when the web application is configured with the `NonLoginAuthenticator`, cache the internal Principal object rather than the user facing Principal object as Tomcat requires the internal object to correctly process later authorization checks. (markt)
- Refactor error handling to enable errors that occur before processing is passed to the application to be handled by the application provided error handling and/or the container provided error handling (`ErrorReportValve`) as appropriate. (markt)
- Pass 404 errors triggered by a missing ROOT web application to the container error handling to generate the response body. (markt)
- Pass 400 errors triggered by invalid request targets to the container error handling to generate the response body. (markt)
- Provide a correct `Allow` header when responding to an HTTP `TRACE` request for a JSP with a 405 status code. (markt)
- When using Tomcat embedded, only perform Authenticator configuration once during web application start. (markt)

#### Coyote

- 61751: Fix truncated request input streams when using NIO2 with TLS. (markt)
- 62023: Log error reporting multiple SSLHostConfig elements when using the APR Connector instead of crashing Tomcat. (csutherl)
- 62032: Fix NullPointerException when certificateFile is not defined on an SSLHostConfig and unify the behavior when a certificateFile is defined but the file does not exist for both JKS and PEM file types. (csutherl)
- Ensure that the `toString()` method behaves consistently for `ByteChunk` and `CharChunk` and that `null` is returned when `toString()` is called both on newly created objects and immediately after a call to `recycle()`. This should not impact typical Tomcat users. It may impact users who use these classes directly in their own code. (markt)
- Ensure that the `toString()`, `toBytes()` and `toChars()` methods of `MessageBytes` behave consistently and do not throw a `NullPointerException` both on newly created objects and immediately after a call to `recycle()`. This should not impact typical Tomcat users. It may impact users who use these classes directly in their own code. (markt)
- When processing an HTTP 1.0 request in the HTTP connector and no host information is provided in the request, obtain the server port from the local port rather than the connector configuration since the configured value maybe zero. (markt)
- Enable strict validation of the provided host name and port for all connectors. Requests with invalid host names and/or ports will be rejected with a 400 response. (markt)
- Update the host validation to permit host names and components of domain names (excluding top-level domains) to start with a number and to ensure that top-level domains are fully alphabetic. (markt)
- 62053: Fix NPE when writing push headers with HTTP/2 NIO2. Patch submitted by Holger Sunke. (remm)

#### Jasper

- Include an HTTP `Allow` header when a JSP generates a 405 response due to a request with an unsupported method. (markt)
- Add support for the HTTP `OPTION` method to JSPs. The JSP specification explicitly states that the behaviour for this method is undefined for JSPs so this is a Tomcat specific behaviour. (markt)

#### WebSocket

- 62024: When closing a connection with an abnormal close, close the socket immediately rather than waiting for a close message from the client that may never arrive. (markt)

#### Webapps

- 62049: Fix missing class from manager 404 JSP error page. (remm)

### 2018-01-22 Tomcat 9.0.4 (markt)

#### Catalina

- Correct a regression in the previous fix for 61916 that meant that any call to `addHeader()` would have been replaced with a call to `setHeader()` for all requests mapped to the `AddDefaultCharsetFilter`. (markt)
- 61999: maxSavePostSize set to 0 should disable saving POST data during authentication. (remm)

#### Coyote

- Fix NIO2 HTTP/2 sendfile. (remm)
- 61993: Improve handling for `ByteChunk` and `CharChunk` instances that grow close to the maximum size allowed by the JRE. (markt)

- Minor HTTP/2 push fixes. (remm)
- 61916: Extend the `AddDefaultCharsetFilter` to add a character set when the content type is set via `setHeader()` or `addHeader()` as well as when it is set via `setContentType()`. (markt)
- When using WebDAV to copy a file resource to a destination that requires a collection to be overwritten, ensure that the operation succeeds rather than fails (with a 500 response). This enables Tomcat to pass two additional tests from the Litmus WebDAV test suite. (markt)
- Modify the Default and WebDAV Servlets so that a 405 status code is returned for `PUT` and `DELETE` requests when disabled via the `readonly` initialisation parameter.
- Align the contents of the `Allow` header with the response code for the Default and WebDAV Servlets. For any given resource a method that returns a 405 status code will not be listed in the `Allow` header and a method listed in the `Allow` header will not return a 405 status code. (markt)

#### Coyote

- 60276: Implement GZIP compression support for responses served over HTTP/2. (markt)
- Do not call onDataAvailable without any data to read. (remm)
- Correctly handle EOF when `ServletInputStream.isReady()` is called. (markt)

- 61489: When using the CGI servlet, make the generation of command line arguments from the query string (as per section 4.4 of RFC 3875) optional and disabled by default. Based on a patch by jm009. (markt)
- 61503: This corrects a potential regression in the fix for 60940 with an alternative solution that adds the `JarEntry` objects normally skipped by a `JarInputStream` only if those entries exist. (markt)

#### Coyote

- The minimum required Tomcat Native version has been increased to 1.2.14. This version includes a new API needed for correct client certificate support when using a Java connector with OpenSSL TLS implementation and support for the `SSL_CONF` OpenSSL API. (rjung)
- Add support for the OpenSSL `SSL_CONF` API when using TLS with OpenSSL implementation. It can be used by adding `OpenSSLConf` elements underneath `SSLHostConfig`. The new element contains a list of `OpenSSLConfCmd` elements, each with the attributes `name` and `value`. (rjung)
- When using a Java connector in combination with the OpenSSL TLS implementation, do not configure each SSL connection object via the OpenSSLEngine. For OpenSSL the SSL object inherits its settings from the SSL_CTX which we have already configured. (rjung)
- When using JSSE TLS configuration with the OpenSSL implementation and client certificates: include client CA subjects in the TLS handshake so that the client can choose an appropriate client certificate to present. (rjung)

#### Catalina

- 52924: Add support for a Tomcat specific deployment descriptor, `/WEB-INF/tomcat-web.xml`. This descriptor has an identical format to `/WEB-INF/web.xml`. The Tomcat descriptor takes precedence over any settings in `conf/web.xml` but does not take precedence over any settings in `/WEB-INF/web.xml`. (markt)
- 61232: When log rotation is disabled only one separator will be used when generating the log file name. For example if the prefix is `catalina.` and the suffix is `.log` then the log file name will be `catalina.log` instead of `catalina..log`. Patch provided by Katya Stoycheva. (violetagg)
- 61264: Correct a regression in the refactoring to use `Charset` rather than `String` to store request character encoding that prevented `getReader()` throwing an `UnsupportedEncodingException` if the user agent specifies an unsupported character encoding. (markt)

- Add LoadBalancerDrainingValve, a Valve designed to reduce the amount of time required for a node to drain its authenticated users. (schultz)
- Do not log a warning when a `null` session is returned for an OpenSSL based TLS session since this is expected when session tickets are enabled. (markt)
- When the access log valve logs a TLS related request attribute and the NIO2 connector is used with OpenSSL, ensure that the TLS attributes are available to the access log valve when the connection is closing. (markt)
- 60461: Sync SSL session access for the APR connector. (remm)
- 61224: Make the `GlobalRequestProcessor` MBean attributes read-only. Patch provided by Alexis Hassler. (markt)

#### Jasper

- 49176: When generating JSP runtime error messages that quote the relevant JSP source code, switch from using the results of the JSP page parsing process to using the JSR 045 source map data to identify the correct part of the JSP source from the stack trace. This significantly reduces the memory footprint of Jasper in development mode, provides a small performance improvement for error page generation and enables source quotes to continue to be provided after a Tomcat restart. (markt)

#### Web applications

- Remove references to the Loader attribute `searchExternalFirst` from the documentation since the attribute is no longer supported. (markt)

#### Tribes

- 51513: Add support for the `compressionMinSize` attribute to the `GzipInterceptor`, add optional statistics collection and expose the Interceptor over JMX. Based on a patch by Christian Stöber. (markt)

#### General

- Allow to exclude JUnit test classes using the build property `test.exclude` and document the property in BUILDING.txt. (rjung)

#### Catalina

- Review those places where Tomcat re-encodes a URI or URI component and ensure that the correct encoding (path differs from query string) is applied and that the encoding is applied consistently. (markt)
- Avoid a `NullPointerException` when reading attributes for a initialised HTTP connector where TLS is enabled. (markt)
- Always quote the `hostName` of an `SSLHostConfig` element when using it as part of the JMX object name to avoid errors that prevent the associated TLS connector from starting if a wild card `hostName` is configured (because `*` is a reserved character for JMX object names). (markt)
- Update the default `URIEncoding` for a `Connector` to `UTF-8` as required by the Servlet 4.0 specification. (markt)
- Switch to using `Charset` rather than `String` to store encoding settings (including for configuration and for the `Content-Type header`) to reduce the number of places the associated `Charset` needs to be looked up. (markt)

- Ensure that executor thread pools used with connectors pre-start the configured minimum number of idle threads. (markt)
- 60716: Add a new JSSE specific attribute, `revocationEnabled`, to `SSLHostConfig` to permit JSSE provider revocation checks to be enabled when no `certificateRevocationListFile` has been configured. The expectation is that configuration will be performed via a JSSE provider specific mechanisms. (markt)

- When creating a new Connector via JMX, ensure that both HTTP/1.1 and AJP/1.3 connectors can be created. (markt)
- Reduce multiple error messages when Connector fails to instantiate the associated ProtocolHandler. (markt)
- 60152: Provide an option for Connector Lifecycle exceptions to be re-thrown rather than logged. This is controlled by the new `throwOnFailure` attribute of the Connector. (markt)
- Include the Context name in the log message when an item cannot be added to the cache. (markt)
- Exclude JAR files in `/WEB-INF/lib` from the static resource cache. (markt)
- When calling `getResourceAsStream()` on a directory, ensure that `null` is returned. (markt)
- 60161: Allow creating subcategories of the container logger, and use it for the rewrite valve. (remm)
- Correctly test for control characters when reading the provided shutdown password. (markt)
- 60297: Simplify connector creation in embedded mode. (remm)
- Refactor creation of containers in embedded mode for more consistency and flexibility. (remm)
- Log a warning if running on Java 9 with the ThreadLocal memory leak detection enabled (the default) but without the command line option it now requires. (markt)
- When a Connector is configured to use an executor, ensure that the StoreConfig component includes the executor name when writing the Connector configuration. (markt)
- When configuring the JMX remote listener, specify the allowed types for the credentials. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Correct the HPACK header table size configuration that transposed the client and server table sizes when creating the encoder and decoder. (markt)
- Review HTTP/2 implementation removing unused code, reducing visibility where possible and using final where appropriate. (markt)
- Don't continue to process an HTTP/2 stream if it is reset during header parsing. (markt)
- HTTP/2 uses separate headers for each Cookie. As required by RFC 7540, merge these into a single Cookie header before processing continues. (markt)
- Align the HTTP/2 implementation with the HTTP/1.1 implementation and return a 500 response when an unhandled exception occurs during request processing. (markt)
- Correct the HTTP header parser so that DEL is not treated as a valid token character. (markt)
- Add checks around the handling of HTTP/2 pseudo headers. (markt)
- Add support for trailer headers to the HTTP/2 implementation. (markt)
- 60232: When processing headers for an HTTP/2 stream, ensure that the read buffer is large enough for the header being processed. (markt)
- Add configuration options to the HTTP/2 implementation to control the maximum number of headers allowed, the maximum size of headers allowed, the maximum number of trailer headers allowed, the maximum size of trailer headers allowed and the maximum number of cookies allowed. (markt)
- Correctly differentiate between sending and receiving a reset frame when tracking the state of an HTTP/2 stream. (markt)
- Remove the undocumented support for using the old Connector attribute names `backlog`, `soLinger` and `soTimeout` that were renamed several major versions ago. (markt)
- 60319: When using an Executor, disconnect it from the Connector attributes `maxThreads`, `minSpareThreads` and `threadPriority` to enable the configuration settings to be consistently reported. These Connector attributes will be reported as `-1` when an Executor is in use. The values used by the executor may be set and obtained via the Executor. (markt)
- If an I/O error occurs during async processing on a non-container thread, ensure that the `onError()` event is triggered. (markt)
- Improve detection of I/O errors during async processing on non-container threads and trigger async error handling when they are detected. (markt)
- Add additional checks for valid characters to the HTTP request line parsing so invalid request lines are rejected sooner. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Update to the Eclipse JDT Compiler 4.6.1. (markt)

#### Web applications

### 2016-10-10 Tomcat 9.0.0.M11 (markt)

#### Catalina

- 59961: Add an option to the `StandardJarScanner` to control whether or not JAR Manifests are scanned for additional class path entries. (markt)
- 60013: Refactor the previous fix to align the behaviour of the Rewrite Valve with mod_rewrite. As part of this, provide an implementation for the `B` and `NE` flags and improve the handling for the `QSA` flag. Includes multiple test cases by Santhana Preethiand a patch by Tiago Oliveira. (markt)
- 60087: Refactor the web resources handling to use the Tomcat specific `war:file:...` URL protocol to refer to WAR files and their contents rather than the standard `jar:file:...` form since some components of the JRE, such as JAR verification, give unexpected results when the standard form is used. A side-effect of the refactoring is that when using packed WARs, it is now possible to reference a WAR and/or specific JARs within a WAR in the security policy file used when running under a `SecurityManager`. (markt)
- 60116: Fix a problem with the rewrite valve that caused back references evaluated in conditions to be forced to lower case when using the `NC` flag. (markt)

- 60117: Ensure that the name of `LogLevel` is localized when using `OneLineFormatter`. Patch provided by Tatsuya Bessho. (kfujino)
- 60138: Fix the `SSLHostConfig` so that the `protocols` attribute is limited to the protocols supported by the current JSSE implementation rather than the default protocols used by the implementation. (markt)
- 60146: Improve performance for resource retrieval by making calls to WebResource.getInputStream() trigger caching if the resource is small enough. Patch provided by mohitchugh. (markt)
- 60151: Improve the exception error messages when a `ResourceLink` fails to specify the type, specifies an unknown type or specifies the wrong type. (markt)
- 60167: Ignore empty lines in `/etc/passwd` files when using the `PasswdUserDatabase`. (markt)
- 60170: Exclude the compressed test file `index.html.br` from RAT analysis. Patch provided by Gavin McDonald. (markt)
- When starting web resources, ensure that class resources are only started once. (markt)
- Improve the access checks for linked global resources to handle the case where the current class loader is a child of the web application class loader. (markt)
- 60196: Ensure that the `isMandatory` flag is correctly set when using JASPIC authentication. (markt)
- 60199: Log a warning if deserialization issues prevent a session attribute from being loaded. (markt)
- 60208: When using RFC6265 compliant cookies, the `/` character should not be allowed in a cookie name since the RFC6265 will drop such cookies as invalid. (markt)
- Introduce new methods `read(ByteBuffer)`/ `write(ByteBuffer)` in `o.a.catalina.connector.CoyoteInputStream`/ `o.a.catalina.connector.CoyoteOutputStream`. (violetagg)

#### Coyote

- Refactor the code that implements the requirement that a call to `complete()` or `dispatch()` made from a non-container thread before the container initiated thread that called `startAsync()` completes must be delayed until the container initiated thread has completed. Rather than implementing this by blocking the non-container thread, extend the internal state machine to track this. This removes the possibility that blocking the non-container thread could trigger a deadlock. (markt)
- Fail earlier if the client closes the connection during SNI processing. (markt)
- 60123: Avoid potential threading issues that could cause excessively large values to be returned for the processing time of a current request. (markt)

- Add an example of using the `classesToInitialize` attribute of the `JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener` to the documentation web application. Based on a patch by Cris Berneburg. (markt)
- 60192: Correct a typo in the status output of the Manager application. Patch provided by Radhakrishna Pemmasani. (markt)

#### jdbc-pool

- Notify jmx when returning the connection that has been marked suspect. (kfujino)
- Ensure that the `POOL_EMPTY` notification has been added to the jmx notification types. (kfujino)
- 60099: Ensure that use all method arguments as a cache key when using `StatementCache`. (kfujino)

#### Other

- Update the download location for Objenesis. (violetagg)
- 60164: Replace `log4j-core*.jar` with `log4j-web*.jar` since it is `log4j-web*.jar` that contains the `ServletContainerInitializer`. (markt)

- Update the packaged version of the Tomcat Native Library to 1.2.10 to pick up the latest Windows binaries built with OpenSSL 1.0.2j. (markt)

### 2016-09-05 Tomcat 9.0.0.M10 (markt)

#### Catalina

- 59813: Ensure that circular relations of the Class-Path attribute from JAR manifests will be processed correctly. (violetagg)
- Ensure that reading the `singleThreadModel` attribute of a `StandardWrapper` via JMX does not trigger initialisation of the associated servlet. With some frameworks this can trigger an unexpected initialisation thread and if initialisation is not thread-safe the initialisation can then fail. (markt)
- Compatibility with rewrite from httpd for non existing headers. (jfclere)
- By default, treat paths used to obtain a request dispatcher as encoded. This behaviour can be changed per web application via the `dispatchersUseEncodedPaths` attribute of the Context. (markt)
- Provide a mechanism that enables the container to check if a component (typically a web application) has been granted a given permission when running under a SecurityManager without the current execution stack having to have passed through the component. Use this new mechanism to extend SecurityManager protection to the system property replacement feature of the digester. (markt)
- When retrieving an object via a `ResourceLink`, ensure that the object obtained is of the expected type. (markt)
- 59823: Ensure that JASPIC configuration is taken into account when calling `HttpServletRequest.authenticate()`. (markt)

- 59866: When scanning `WEB-INF/classes` for annotations, don't scan the contents of `WEB-INF/classes/META-INF` (if present) since classes will never be loaded from that location. (markt)
- 59888: Correctly handle tabs and spaces in quoted version one cookies when using the `Rfc6265CookieProcessor`. (markt)
- A number of the JRE memory leaks addressed by the `JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener` have been fixed in Java 9 so the associated protection is now disabled when running on Java 9 onwards. (markt)
- 59912: Fix an edge case in input stream handling where an `IOException` could be thrown when reading a POST body. (markt)
- 59913: Correct a regression introduced with the support for the Servlet 4 `HttpServletRequest.getMapping()` API that caused the attributes for forwarded requests to be lost if requested from within a subsequent include. (markt)
- 59966: Do not start the web application if the error page configuration in web.xml is invalid. (markt)
- Switch the CGI servlet to the standard logging mechanism and remove support for the debug attribute. (markt)
- 60012: Improvements in the log messages. Based on suggestions by Nemo Chen. (violetagg)
- Changes to the `allowLinking` attribute of a `StandardRoot` instance now invalidate the cache if caching is enabled. (markt)
- Add a new initialisation parameter, `envHttpHeaders`, to the CGI Servlet to mitigate httpoxy (CVE-2016-5388) by default and to provide a mechanism that can be used to mitigate any future, similar issues. (markt)
- When adding and removing `ResourceLink`s dynamically, ensure that the global resource is only visible via the `ResourceLinkFactory` when it is meant to be. (markt)
- 60008: When processing CORs requests, treat any origin with a URI scheme of `file` as a valid origin. (markt)
- Improve handling of exceptions during a Lifecycle events triggered by a state transition. The exception is now caught and the component is now placed into the `FAILED` state. (markt)
- 60013: Fix encoding issues when using the RewriteValve with UTF-8 query strings or UTF-8 redirect URLs. (markt)
- 60022: Improve handling when a WAR file and/or the associated exploded directory are symlinked into the `appBase`. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Correct a regression in refactoring to enable injection of custom keystores that broke the automatic conversion of OpenSSL style PEM key and certificate files for use with JSSE TLS connectors. (markt)
- 59910: Don't hardcode key alias value to "tomcat" for JSSE. When using a keystore, OpenSSL will still default to it. (remm)
- 59904: Add a limit (default 200) for the number of cookies allowed per request. Based on a patch by gehui. (markt)
- 59925: Correct regression in r1628368 and ensure that HTTP separators are handled as configured in the `LegacyCookieProcessor`. Patch provided by Kyohei Nakamura. (markt)
- 59950: Correct log message when reporting that the current number of HTTP/2 streams for a connection could not be pruned to below the limit. (markt)

### 2016-07-12 Tomcat 9.0.0.M9 (markt)

#### Catalina

- 18500: Add limited support for wildcard host names and host aliases. Names of the form `*.domainname` are now permitted. Note that an exact host name match takes precedence over a wild card host name match. (markt)
- 57705: Add debug logging for requests denied by the remote host and remote address valves and filters. Based on a patch by Graham Leggett. (markt)
- Correct a regression in the fix for 58588 that removed the entire `org.apache.juli` package from the embedded JARs rendering them unusable. (markt)
- 59399: Add a new option to the Realm implementations that ship with Tomcat that allows the HTTP status code used for HTTP -> HTTPS redirects to be controlled per Realm. (markt)
- 59708: Modify the LockOutRealm logic. Valid authentication attempts during the lock out period will no longer reset the lock out timer to zero. (markt)
- Change the default of the `sessionCookiePathUsesTrailingSlash` attribute of the `Context` element to `false` since the problems caused when a Servlet is mapped to `/*` are more significant than the security risk of not enabling this option by default. (markt)
- Follow-up to 59655. Improve the documentation for configuring permitted cookie names. Patch provided by Kyohei Nakamura. (markt)
- Do not attempt to start web resources during a web application's initialisation phase since the web application is not fully configured at that point and the web resources may not be correctly configured. (markt)

- Document the default for the HTTP/2 configuration parameter `maxConcurrentStreamExecution` as 20. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Improve error handling around user code prior to calling `InstanceManager.destroy()` to ensure that the method is executed. (markt)

#### WebSocket

- Now the WebSocket implementation is not built directly on top of the Servlet API and can use Tomcat internals, there is no need for the dedicated WebSocket Executor. It has been replaced by the use of the Connector/Endpoint provided Executor. (markt)
- Improve error handling around user code prior to calling `InstanceManager.destroy()` to ensure that the method is executed. (markt)

#### Web Applications

- Do not log an additional case of `IOException`s in the error handler for the Drawboard WebSocket example when the root cause is the client disconnecting since the logs add no value. (markt)
- 59642: Mention the `localDataSource` in the `DataSourceRealm` section of the Realm How-To. (markt)
- 59672: Update the security considerations page of the documentation web application to take account of the fact that the Manager and HostManager applications now have a `RemoteAddrValve` configured by default. (markt)
- Follow-up to the fix for 59399. Ensure that the new attribute `transportGuaranteeRedirectStatus` is documented for all Realms. Also document the `NullRealm` and when it is automatically created for an Engine. (markt)
- Fix the description of `maxAge` attribute in jdbc-pool doc. This attribute works both when a connection is returned and when a connection is borrowed. (kfujino)
- 59774: Correct the `prefix` values in the documented examples for configuring the `AccessLogValve`. Patch provided by Mike Noordermeer. (markt)

#### Tribes

#### Coyote

- Remove accidentally committed debug code. (markt)

### not released Tomcat 9.0.0.M7 (markt)

#### Catalina

- RMI Target related memory leaks are avoidable which makes them an application bug that needs to be fixed rather than a JRE bug to work around. Therefore, start logging RMI Target related memory leaks on web application stop. Add an option that controls if the check for these leaks is made. Log a warning if running on Java 9 with this check enabled but without the command line option it requires. (markt)
- Ensure NPE will not be thrown during deployment when scanning jar files without MANIFEST.MF file. (violetagg)
- Remove the `clearReferencesStatic` option from `StandardContext`. It was known to cause problems with some libraries (such as log4j) and was only linked to suspected memory leaks rather than known memory leaks. It had been disabled by default with no increase in the reports of memory leaks for some time. (markt)
- 59604: Correct the assumption made in the URL decoding that the default platform encoding is always compatible with ISO-8859-1. This assumption is not always valid, e.g. on z/OS. (markt)
- 59608: Skip over any invalid `Class-Path` attribute from JAR manifests. Log errors at debug level due to many bad libraries. (remm)
- Fix error message when failed to register MBean. (kfujino)

#### Coyote

- Ensure that requests with HTTP method names that are not tokens (as required by RFC 7231) are rejected with a 400 response. (markt)
- When an asynchronous request is processed by the AJP connector, ensure that request processing has fully completed before starting the next request. (markt)
- Improve handling of HTTP/2 stream resets. (markt)
- 58750: The HTTP Server header is no longer set by default. A Server header may be configured by setting the `server` attribute on the `Connector`. A new `Connector` attribute, `serverRemoveAppProvidedValues` may be used to remove any Server header set by a web application. (markt)
- 59564: Correct offset when reading into HTTP/2 input buffer that could cause problems reading request bodies. (violetagg/markt)
- Modify the handling of read/write timeouts so that the appropriate error handling (`ReadListener.onError()`, `WriteListener.onError()` or `AsyncListener.onError()`) is called. (markt)
- If an async dispatch results in the completion of request processing, ensure that any remaining request body is swallowed before starting the processing of the next request else the remaining body may be read as the start of the next request leading to a 400 response. (markt)

#### Jasper

- 59567: Fix NPE scanning webapps for TLDs when an exploded JAR has an empty WEB-INF/classes/META-INF folder. (remm)

#### WebSocket

- 59659: Fix possible memory leak in WebSocket handling of unexpected client disconnects. (markt)

#### Web applications

- 58891: Update the SSL How-To. Based on a suggestion by Alexander Kjäll. (markt)

#### Extras

- 58588: Remove the JULI extras package from the distribution. It was only useful for switching Tomcat's internal logging to log4j 1.2.x and that version of log4j is no longer supported. No additional Tomcat code is required if switching Tomcat's internal logging to log via log4j 2.x. (markt)

#### jdbc-pool

- Fix a memory leak with the pool cleaner thread that retained a reference to the web application class loader for the first web application to use a connection pool. (markt)

#### Other

- Update the internal fork of Commons File Upload to r1743698 (1.3.1 plus additional fixes). (markt)
- Use UTF-8 with a standard prolog for all XML files. (markt)
- 58626: Add support for a new environment variable (`USE_NOHUP`) that causes `nohup` to be used when starting Tomcat. It is disabled by default except on HP-UX where it is enabled by default since it is required when starting Tomcat at boot on HP-UX. (markt)

### 2016-05-16 Tomcat 9.0.0.M6 (markt)

- 59219: Ensure `AsyncListener.onError()` is called if an `Exception` is thrown during async processing. (markt)
- 59220: Ensure that `AsyncListener.onComplete()` is called if the async request times out and the response is already committed. (markt)
- 59226: Process the `Class-Path` attribute from JAR manifests for JARs on the class path excluding JARs packaged in `WEB-INF/lib`. (markt)
- 59255: Fix possible NPE in mapper. (kkolinko/remm)

- Ensure the exceptions caused by Valves will be available in the log files so that they can be evaluated when `o.a.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.showReport` is disabled. Patch is provided by Svetlin Zarev. (violetagg)
- Remove unused `distributable` attribute that is defined as `TransientAttribute` of `Manager` in StoreConfig. (kfujino)
- Fix handling of Cluster Receiver in StoreConfig. The `bind` and `host` attributes define as `TransientAttribute`. (kfujino)
- 59261: `ServletRequest.getAsyncContext()` now throws an `IllegalStateException` as required by the Servlet specification if the request is not in asynchronous mode when called. (markt)
- 59269: Correct the implementation of `PersistentManagerBase` so that `minIdleSwap` functions as designed and sessions are swapped out to keep the active session count below `maxActiveSessions`. (markt)
- Update the implementation of the proposed Servlet 4.0 API to provide mapping type information for the current request to reflect discussions within the EG. (markt)
- Correctly configure the base path for a resources directory provided by an expanded JAR file. Patch provided by hengyunabc. (markt)
- When multiple compressed formats are available and the client does not express a preference, use the server order to determine the preferred format. Based on a patch by gmokki. (markt)
- 59284: Allow the Tomcat provided JASPIC `SimpleServerAuthConfig` to pick up module configuration properties from either the property set passed to its constructor or from the properties passed in the call to `getAuthContext`. Based on a patch by Thomas Maslen. (markt)
- 59310: Do not add a `Content-Length: 0` header for custom responses to `HEAD` requests that do not set a `Content-Length` value. (markt)

- Remove the `java2DDisposerProtection` option from the `JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener`. The leak is fixed in Java 7 onwards and Tomcat 9 requires Java 8 so the option is unnecessary. (markt)
- Remove the `securityPolicyProtection` option from the `JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener`. The leak is fixed in Java 8 onwards and Tomcat 9 requires Java 8 so the option is unnecessary. (markt)
- Remove the `securityLoginConfigurationProtection` option from the `JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener`. The leak is fixed in Java 8 onwards and Tomcat 9 requires Java 8 so the option is unnecessary. (markt)

### 2016-03-16 Tomcat 9.0.0.M4 (markt)

#### Catalina

- Ensure that `/WEB-INF/classes` is never processed as a web fragment. (markt)
- Switch default connector when native is installed. Unless configured otherwise, the NIO endpoint will be used by default. If SSL is configured, OpenSSL will be used rather than JSSE. (remm)
- Correct a regression in the fix for 58867. When configuring a Context to use an external directory for the `docBase`, and that directory happens to be located along side the original WAR, use the directory as the `docBase` rather than expanding the WAR into the `appBase` and using the newly created expanded directory as the `docBase`.

- Refactor the JAR and JAR-in-WAR resource handling to reduce the memory footprint of the web application. (markt)
- Refactor the web.xml parsing so a new parser is created every time the web application starts rather than creating and caching the parser when the Context is created. This enables the parser to take account of modified Context configuration parameters and reduces (slightly) the memory footprint of a running Tomcat instance. (markt)
- Switch the web application class loader to the `ParallelWebappClassLoader` by default. (markt)
- 57809: Remove the custom context attribute that held the effective web.xml. Components needing access to configuration information may access it via the Servlet API. (markt)

- 59065: Correct the timing of the check for colons in paths on non-Windows systems implemented in `catalina.sh` so it works correctly with Cygwin. Patch provided by Ed Randall. (markt)
- When a Host is configured with an appBase that does not exist, create the appBase before trying to expand an external WAR file into it. (markt)
- 59115: When using the Servlet 3.0 file upload, the submitted file name may be provided as a token or a quoted-string. If a quoted-string, unquote the string before returning it to the user. (markt)
- 59123: Close `NamingEnumeration` objects used by the `JNDIRealm` once they are no longer required. (fschumacher/markt)

### not released Tomcat 9.0.0.M2 (markt)

#### Catalina

- Refactor creation of `MapperListener` to ensure that the `Mapper` used is the `Mapper` associated with the `Service` for which the listener was created. (markt)
- Move the functionality that provides redirects for context roots and directories where a trailing `/` is added from the Mapper to the `DefaultServlet`. This enables such requests to be processed by any configured Valves and Filters before the redirect is made. This behaviour is configurable via the `mapperContextRootRedirectEnabled` and `mapperDirectoryRedirectEnabled` attributes of the Context which may be used to restore the previous behaviour. (markt)
- Refactor `Service.getContainer()` to return an `Engine` rather than a `Container`. (markt)
- 34319: Only load those keys in `StoreBase.processExpire` from JDBCStore, that are old enough, to be expired. Based on a patch by Tom Anderson. (fschumacher)
- 56917: As per RFC7231 (HTTP/1.1), allow HTTP/1.1 and later redirects to use relative URIs. This is controlled by a new attribute `useRelativeRedirects` on the Context and defaults to `true`. (markt)
- 58629: Allow an embedded Tomcat instance to start when the `Service` has no `Engine` configured. (markt)
- Correctly notify the MapperListener associated with a Service if the Engine for that Service is changed. (markt)
- Make a web application's CredentialHandler available through a context attribute. This allows a web application to use the same algorithm for validating or generating new stored credentials from cleartext ones. (schultz)
- 58635: Enable break points to be set within agent code when running Tomcat with a Java agent. Based on a patch by Huxing Zhang. (markt)
- Fixed potential NPE in `HostConfig` while deploying an application. Issue reported by coverity scan. (violetagg)
- 58655: Fix an `IllegalStateException` when calling `HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect()` with the `RemoteIpFilter`. This was caused by trying to correctly generate the absolute URI for the redirect. With the fix for 56917, redirects may now be relative making the `sendRedirect()` implementation for the `RemoteIpFilter` much simpler. This also addresses issues where the redirect may not have behaved as expected when redirecting from http to https to from https to http. (markt)
- 58657: Exceptions in a Servlet 3.1 `ReadListener` or `WriteListener` do not need to be immediately fatal to the connection. Allow an error response to be written. (markt)
- Correct implementation of `validateClientProvidedNewSessionId` so client provided session IDs may be rejected if validation is enabled. (markt)
- 58701: Reset the `instanceInitialized` field in `StandardWrapper` when unloading a Servlet so that a new instance may be correctly initialized. (markt)
- Add a new flag `aprPreferred` to the Apr listener. if set to `false`, when using the connector defaults, it will use NIO + OpenSSL if tomcat-native is available, rather than the APR connector. (remm)
- Add path parameter handling to `HttpServletRequest.getContextPath()`. This is a follow-up to the fix for 57215. (markt)
- 58692: Make `StandardJarScanner` more robust. Log a warning if a class path entry cannot be scanned rather than triggering the failure of the web application. Includes a test case written by Derek Abdine. (markt)
- 58702: Ensure an access log entry is generated if the client aborts the connection. (markt)
- Fixed various issues reported by Findbugs. (violetagg)
- 58735: Add support for the `X-XSS-Protection` header to the `HttpHeaderSecurityFilter`. Patch provided by Jacopo Cappellato. (markt)
- Add the `StatusManagerServlet` to the list of Servlets that can only be loaded by privileged applications. (markt)
- Simplify code and fix messages in `org.apache.catalina.core.DefaultInstanceManager` class. (kkolinko)
- 58751: Correctly handle the case where an `AsyncListener` dispatches to a Servlet on an asynchronous timeout and the Servlet uses `sendError()` to trigger an error page. Includes a test case based on code provided by Andy Wilkinson.(markt)
- Ensure that the proper file encoding if specified will be used when a readme file is served by DefaultServlet. (violetagg)
- Fix declaration of `localPort` attribute of Connector MBean: it is read-only. (kkolinko)
- 58766: Make skipping non-class files during annotation scanning faster by checking the file name first. Improve debug logging. (kkolinko)
- 58836: Correctly merge query string parameters when processing a forwarded request where the target includes a query string that contains a parameter with no value. (markt/kkolinko)
- Make sure that shared Digester is reset in an unlikely error case in `HostConfig.deployWAR()`. (kkolinko)
- Extend the feature available in the cluster session manager implementations that enables session attribute replication to be filtered based on attribute name to all session manager implementations. Note that configuration attribute name has changed from `sessionAttributeFilter` to `sessionAttributeNameFilter`. Apply the filter on load as well as unload to ensure that configuration changes made while the web application is stopped are applied to any persisted data. (markt)
- Extend the session attribute filtering options to include filtering based on the implementation class of the value and optional `WARN` level logging if an attribute is filtered. These options are available for all of the Manager implementations that ship with Tomcat. When a `SecurityManager` is used filtering will be enabled by default. (markt)
- Remove `distributable` and `maxInactiveInterval` from the `Manager` interface because the attributes are never used. The equivalent attributes from the `Context` always take precedence. (markt)
- 58867: Improve checking on Host start for WAR files that have been modified while Tomcat has stopped and re-expand them if `unpackWARs` is `true`. (markt)
- 58900: Correctly undeploy symlinked resources and prevent an infinite cycle of deploy / undeploy. (markt)

#### Coyote

- 58621: The certificate chain cannot be set using the main certificate attribute, so restore the certificate chain property. (remm)
- Allow a new SSL config type where a connector can use either JSSE or OpenSSL. Both could be allowed, but it would likely create support issues. This type is used by the OpenSSL implementation for NIOx. (remm)
- Improve upgrade context classloader handling by using Context.bind and unbind. (remm)
- Improve OpenSSL keystore/truststore configuration by using the code from the JSSE implementation. (remm, jfclere)
- Fix a potential loop when a client drops the connection unexpectedly. (markt)

#### WebSocket

- 55006: The WebSocket client now honors the `java.net.java.net.ProxySelector` configuration (using the HTTP type) when establishing WebSocket connections to servers. Based on a patch by Niki Dokovski. (markt)
- 58624: Correct a potential deadlock if the WebSocket connection is closed when a message write is in progress. (markt)
- 57489: Ensure `onClose()` is called when a WebSocket connection is closed even if the sending of the close message fails. Includes test cases by Barry Coughlan. (markt)

- Document `test.threads` option in BUILDING.txt. (kkolinko)

#### Tribes

- Ensure that the static member is registered to the add suspect list even if the static member that is registered to the remove suspect list has disappeared. (kfujino)
- When using a static cluster, add the members that have been cached in the membership service to the map members list in order to ensure that the map member is a static member. (kfujino)
- Add support for the startup notification of local members in the static cluster. (kfujino)
- Ignore the unnecessary member remove operation from different domain. (kfujino)
- Add support for the shutdown notification of local members in the static cluster. (kfujino)

- RFC 7230 states that clients should ignore reason phrases in HTTP/1.1 response messages. Since the reason phrase is optional, Tomcat no longer sends it. As a result the system property `org.apache.coyote.USE_CUSTOM_STATUS_MSG_IN_HEADER` is no longer used and has been removed. (markt)
- The minimum required Tomcat Native version has been increased to 1.2.2. The 1.2.x branch includes ALPN and SNI support which are required for HTTP/2. (markt)
- Add support for HTTP/2 including server push. (markt)

#### Tribes
