Relax cookie naming restrictions. Cookie attribute names used in the
Set-Cookie header may be used unambiguously as cookie
names. The restriction that prevented such usage has been removed.

Further relax cookie naming restrictions. Version 0 (a.k.a Netscape
format) cookies may now use names that start with the $

Restrict cookie naming so that the = character is no longer
permitted in a version 0 (a.k.a. Netscape format) cookie name. While
Tomcat allowed this, browsers always truncated the name at the

Add a warning if the thread group created for WebSocket asynchronous
write call backs can not be destroyed when the web application is
stopped. (markt)
Ensure that threads created to support WebSocket clients are stopped
when no longer required. This will happen automatically for WebSocket
client connections initiated by web applications but stand alone clients
must call WsWebSocketContainer.destroy(). (markt)
56449: When creating a new session, add the message handlers
to the session before calling Endpoint.onOpen() so the
message handlers are in place should the onOpen() method
trigger the sending of any messages. (markt)

while web application is being stopped, print their stack traces to
the log. (kkolinko)
56190: The response should be closed (i.e. no further output
is permitted) when a call to AsyncContext.complete() takes
effect. (markt)
56236: Enable Tomcat to work with alternative Servlet and
JSP API JARs that package the XML schemas in such as way as to require
a dependency on the JSP API before enabling validation for web.xml.
Tomcat has no such dependency. (markt)
56244: Fix MBeans descriptor for WebappClassLoader MBean.
(kkolinko)
Add a work around for validating XML documents (often TLDs) that use
just the file name to refer to refer to the JavaEE schema on which they
are based. (markt)
Add methods of get the idle time from last client access time to
org.apache.catalina.Session. (kfujino)
56246: Fix NullPointerException in MemoryRealm when
authenticating an unknown user. (markt)
56248: Allow the deployer to update an existing WAR file
without undeploying the existing application if the update flag is set.
This allows any existing custom context.xml for the application to be
retained. To update an application and remove any existing context.xml
simply undeploy the old version of the application before deploying the
new version. (markt)

56115: Expose the httpusecaches property of
Ant's get task as some users may need to change the
default. Based on a suggestion by Anthony. (markt)
56143: Improve service.bat so that it can be
launched from a non-UAC console. This includes using a single call to
tomcat8.exe to install the Windows service rather than
three calls, and using command line arguments instead of environment
variables to pass the settings. (markt/kkolinko)
Simplify Windows *.bat files: remove %OS% checks, as current java does
not run on ancient non-NT operating systems. (kkolinko)
Align options between service.bat and exe
Windows installer. For service.bat the changes are in
--Classpath, --DisplayName, --StartPath, --StopPath. For
exe installer the changes are in --JvmMs, --JvmMx options,
which are now 128 Mb and 256 Mb respectively instead of being empty.
Explicitly specify --LogPath path when uninstalling Windows service,
avoiding default value for that option. (kkolinko)

46727: Refactor default servlet to make it easier to
sub-class to implement finer grained control of the file encoding. Based
on a patch by Fred Toth. (markt)
45995: Align Tomcat with Apache httpd and perform MIME type
mapping based on file extension in a case insensitive manner. (markt)
Remove duplicate code that converted a Host's appBase attribute to
a canonical file. (markt)
51408: Replace calls to Charset.defaultCharset()
with an explicit reference to the ISO-8859-1 Charset. (markt)
Refactor initialization code to use a single, consistent approach to
determining the Catalina home (binary) and base (instance) directories.
The search order for home is catalina.home system property,
parent of current directory if boootstrap.jar is present and finally
current working directory. The search order for Catalina base is
catalina.base system property falling back to the value for
Catalina home. (markt)
52092: JULI now uses the OneLineFormatter and
AsyncFileHandler by default. (markt)
52558: Refactor CometConnectionManagerValve so
that it does not prevent the session from being serialized in when
running in a cluster. (markt)
52767: Remove reference to MySQL specific autoReconnect
property in JDBCAccessLogValve. (markt)
Make the Mapper type-safe. Hosts, Contexts and Wrappers are no
longer handled as plain objects, instead they keep their type.
Code using the Mapper doesn't need to cast objects returned by
the mapper. (rjung)
Move Manager, Loader and Resources from Container to Context since
Context is the only place they are used. The documentation already
states (and has done for some time) that Context is the only valid
location for these nested components. (markt)
Move the Mapper from the Connector to the Service since the Mapper is
identical for all Connectors of a given Service and it is common for
there to be multiple Connectors for a Service (http, https and ajp).
This means there is now only ever one Mapper per Service rather than
possibly multiple identically configured Mapper objects. (markt)
Remove the per Context Mapper objects and use the Mapper from the
Service. This removes the need to maintain two copies of the mappings
for Servlets and Filters. (markt)
Implement a new Resources implementation that merges Aliases,
VirtualLoader, VirtualDirContext, JAR resources and external
repositories into a single framework rather than a separate one for each
feature. (markt)
URL rewrite valve, similar in functionality to mod_rewrite. (remm)
Port storeconfig functionality, which can persist to server.xml and
context.xml runtime container configuration changes. (remm)
54095: Add support to the Default Servlet for serving
gzipped versions of static resources directly from disk as an
alternative to Tomcat compressing them on each request. Patch by
Philippe Marschall. (markt)
54708: Change the name of the working directory for the ROOT
application (located under $CATALINA_BASE/work by default) from _ to
ROOT. (markt)
Change default configuration so that a change to the global web.xml file
will trigger a reload of all web applications. (markt)
55101: Make BASIC authentication more tolerant of whitespace.
Patch provided by Brian Burch. (markt)

be added to WebppClassLoader. Patch by Nick Williams. (markt)
55620: Enable Tomcat to start when either $CATALINA_HOME
and/or $CATALINA_BASE contains a comma character. Prevent Tomcat from
starting when $CATALINA_HOME and/or $CATALINA_BASE contains a semi-colon
on Windows. Prevent Tomcat from starting when $CATALINA_HOME and/or
$CATALINA_BASE contains a colon on Linux/FreeBSD/etc. (markt)
Initialize the JSP runtime in Jasper's initializer to avoid need for a
Jasper-specific lifecycle listener. JasperListener has been
removed. (jboynes)
Change ordering of elements of JMX objects names so components are
grouped more logically in JConsole. Generally, components are now
grouped by Host and then by Context. (markt)
Context listener to allow better EE and framework integration. (remm)

Create test cases for JspC. Patch by Jeremy Boynes. (markt)
55246: TLD scanning is now performed by JasperInitializer
(a ServletContainerInitializer) removing the need for support within the
Servlet container itself. The scan is now performed only once rather than
in two passes reducing startup time. (jboynes)
55251: Do not allow JspC task to fail silently if the web.xml
or web.xml fragment can not be generated. (markt)
Cluster
Remove unused JvmRouteSessionIDBinderListener and SessionIDMessage.
