redirects to be controlled per Realm. (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

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

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)
58768: Log a warning if a redirect fails because of an
invalid location. (markt)
58827: Remove remains of JSR-77 implementation. (markt)
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)
Protect initialization of ResourceLinkFactory when
running with a SecurityManager. (kkolinko)
Correct a thread safety issue in the filtering of session attributes
based on the implementing class name of the value object. (markt)
Fix class loader decision on the delegation for class loading and
resource lookup and make it faster too. (rjung)
58905: Ensure that Tomcat.silence() silences the
correct logger and respects the current setting. (markt)
58946: Ensure that the request parameter map remains
immutable when processing via a RequestDispatcher. (markt)
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. (markt)
58988: Special characters in the substitutions for the
RewriteValve can now be quoted with a backslash. (fschumacher)
58999: Fix class and resource name filtering in
WebappClassLoader. It throws a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException if the
name is exactly "org" or "javax". (rjung)
Add JASPIC (JSR-196) support. (markt)
Make checking for var and map replacement in RewriteValve a bit stricter
and correct detection of colon in var replacement. (fschumacher)
Refactor the web application class loader to reduce the impact of JAR
scanning on the memory footprint of the web application. (markt)
Fix some resource leaks in the error handling for accessing files from
JARs and WARs. (markt)
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)
Refactor JAR scanning to reduce memory footprint. (markt)
59001: Correctly handle the case when Tomcat is installed on
a path where one of the segments ends in an exclamation mark. (markt)
Expand the fix for 59001 to cover the special sequences used
in Tomcat's custom jar:war: URLs. (markt)
59043: Avoid warning while expiring sessions associated with
a single sign on if HttpServletRequest.logout() is used.
(markt)
59054: Ensure that using the
CrawlerSessionManagerValve in a distributed environment
does not trigger an error when the Valve registers itself in the
session. (markt)
Add socket properties support to storeconfig. (remm)
Fix incorrect parsing of the NE and NC flags in rewrite rules. (remm)
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)
Implement the proposed Servlet 4.0 API to provide mapping type
information for the current request. (markt)
59138: Correct a false positive warning for ThreadLocal
related memory leaks when the key class but not the value class has been
loaded by the web application class loader. (markt)
59017: Make the pre-compressed file support in the Default
Servlet generic so any compression may be used rather than just gzip.
Patch provided by Mikko Tiihonen. (markt)
59145: Don't log an invalid warning when a user logs out of
a session associated with SSO. (markt)
59150: Add an additional flag on APR listener to allow
disabling automatic use of OpenSSL. (remm)
59151: Fix a regression in the fix for 56917 that
added additional (and arguably unnecessary) validation to the provided
redirect location. (markt)
59154: Fix a NullPointerException in the
JAASMemoryLoginModule resulting from the introduction of
the CredentialHandler to Realms.

57108: Add support for Server Name Indication (SNI). There
has been significant changes to the SSL configuration in server.xml to
support this. (markt)
Add SSL engine for JSSE backed by OpenSSL. Includes ALPN support.
Based on code contributed by Numa de Montmollin and derived from code
developed by Twitter and Netty. (remm)
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)
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)

Correct an NPE when listing the enabled ciphers (e.g. via the Manager
web application) for a TLS enabled APR/native connector. (markt)
New configuration option ajpFlush for the AJP connectors
to disable the sending of AJP flush packets. (rjung)
Handle the case in the NIO connector where the required TLS buffer sizes
increase after the connection has been initiated. (markt)
Handle the case in the NIO2 connector where the required TLS buffer
sizes increase after the connection has been initiated. (markt/remm)
Bad processing of handshake errors in NIO2. (remm)
Use JSSE session configuration options with OpenSSL. (remm)
59015: Fix potential cause of endless APR Poller loop during
shutdown if the Poller experiences an error during the shutdown process.
(markt)
Align cipher aliases for kECDHE and ECDHE with
the current OpenSSL implementation. (markt)
59081: Retain the user defined cipher order when defining
ciphers. (markt)
59089: Correctly ignore HTTP headers that include non-token
characters in the header name. (markt)
Jasper
57136#c25: Change default value of

of Tomcat. Add command line option -no-quoteAttributeEL in
JspC. (kkolinko)
Fix handling of missing messages in
org.apache.el.util.MessageFactory. (violetagg)
Update to the Eclipse JDT Compiler 4.5.1. (markt)
57583: Improve the performance of
javax.servlet.jsp.el.ScopedAttributeELResolver when
resolving attributes that do not exist. This improvement only works when
Jasper is used with Tomcat's EL implementation. (markt)

Enable an explicit configuration of local member in the static cluster
membership. (kfujino)
Fix potential integer overflow in DeltaSession.
Reported by coverity scan. (fschumacher)
In order to avoid that the heartbeat thread and the background thread to
run Channel.heartbeat simultaneously, if
heartbeatBackgroundEnabled of SimpleTcpCluster
set to true, ensure that the heartbeat thread does not
start. (kfujino)

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)
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)
58624: Correct a potential deadlock if the WebSocket
connection is closed when a message write is in progress. (markt)
Fix a timing issue on session close that could result in an exception
being thrown for an incomplete message even through the message was
completed. (markt)
Correctly handle compression of partial messages when the final message
fragment has a zero length payload. (markt)
59119: Correct read logic for WebSocket client when using
secure connections. (markt)
59134: Correct client connect logic for secure connections
made through a proxy. (markt)
Web applications

interface of the manager to make clear that version must be used with
path when referencing contexts deployed using parallel deployment.
(markt)
Document test.threads option in BUILDING.txt. (kkolinko)
Correct an error in the documentation of the expected behaviour for
automatic deployment. If a WAR is updated and an expanded directory is
present, the directory will always be deleted and recreated by expanding
the WAR if unpackWARs is true. (markt)
58935: Remove incorrect references in the documentation to
using jar:file: URLs with the Manager application. (markt)
Correct the description of the
ServletRequest.getServerPort() in Proxy How-To.
Issue reported via comments.apache.org. (violetagg)
The Manager and Host Manager applications are now only accessible via
localhost by default. (markt)

Clarify the handling of Copy message and Copy nodes. (kfujino)
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
