Software Update: Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M10 / 9.0.40 / 8.5.60 / 7.0.107

Apache Tomcat is a Web container developed by the Apache Software Foundation. Tomcat runs Java Servlets and JavaServer Pages, and provides an http web environment on which Java code can be run directly. For more information, please refer to this page† The developers have released versions 10.0.0-M10, 9.0.40, 8.5.60, and 7.0.107 with the following announcements:

Tomcat 10.0.0-M10 Released

The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 10.0.0-M10 of Apache Tomcat. This release is a milestone release and is targeted at Jakarta EE 9.

Users of Tomcat 10 onwards should be aware that, as a result of the move from Java EE to Jakarta EE as part of the transfer of Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation, the primary package for all implemented APIs has changed from javax.* to jakarta .*. This will almost certainly require code changes to enable applications to migrate from Tomcat 9 and earlier to Tomcat 10 and later. A migration tool is under development to aid this process.

The notable changes in this release are:

• Statistics are now available (via JMX) for HTTP/2, WebSocket and HTTP/1.1 upgraded connections
• Stability improvements for HTTP/2
• Stability improvements for the NIO connector

Tomcat 9.0.40 Released

The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 9.0.40 of Apache Tomcat. The notable changes compared to 9.0.39 include:

• Statistics are now available (via JMX) for HTTP/2, WebSocket and HTTP/1.1 upgraded connections
• Stability improvements for HTTP/2
• Stability improvements for the NIO connector

Tomcat 8.5.60 Released

The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 8.5.60 of Apache Tomcat. Apache Tomcat 8.5.x replaces 8.0.x and includes new features pulled forward from Tomcat 9.0.x. The minimum Java version and implemented specification versions remain unchanged. The notable changes compared to 8.5.59 include:

• Statistics are now available (via JMX) for HTTP/2, WebSocket and HTTP/1.1 upgraded connections
