Unclear 5.0 release status

[Rainer Jung <to...@kippdata.de>]

Hi,

the release status of TC 5.0 is a little unclear:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/status.html

states:

Tomcat 5.0.29 was released on October 6th, 2004. Work on the 5.0 branch is
primarily for maintenance and bug fixes. It is still considered the best
branch for production use, but Tomcat 5.5 is rapidly nearing a stable
release.

I remember, that 5.0.29 was not finally released, instead 5.0.30-beta was
put on the server 6 months ago and never changed from beta to final, so

http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_tomcat-5.cgi

still only shows 5.0.30-beta and the last non-beta version is 5.0.28.

Any reasons to not formally change 5.0.30 from beta to final (apart from
everyone is using his/her time for 5.5.x)?

That's out of date.

Yes, it will never be changed from beta.  See the stability voting thread
for 5.0.30 in this list's archives.
