Tomcat 10.0.6 Released

The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 10.0.6 of Apache Tomcat. This release implements specifications that are part of the Jakarta EE 9 platform.

Applications that run on Tomcat 9 and earlier will not run on Tomcat 10 without changes. Java EE based applications designed for Tomcat 9 and earlier may be placed in the $ CATALINA_BASE / webapps-javaee directory and Tomcat will automatically convert them to Jakarta EE and copy them to the webapps directory. This conversion is performed using the Apache Tomcat migration tool for Jakarta EE tool which is also available as a separate download for off-line use.

The notable changes in this release are:

• Ensure the correct escaping of attribute values ​​and search filters in the JNDIRealm.
