[ANNOUNCE] Apache Guacamole 1.5.5 released
The Apache Guacamole community is proud to announce the release of
Apache Guacamole 1.5.5.
Apache Guacamole is a clientless remote desktop gateway which supports
standard protocols like VNC, RDP, and SSH. We call it "clientless"
because no plugins or client software are required; once Guacamole is
installed on a server, all you need to access your desktops is a web
browser.
The 1.5.5 release is a bugfix release that addresses bugs and
regressions from 1.5.4 and earlier, including a resource leak that may
affect RDP and SSH connections, and updates all dependencies to their
latest compatible versions.
A full list of the changes in this release, along with links to
downloads and updated documentation, can be found in the release notes:
https://guacamole.apache.org/releases/1.5.5/
For more information on Apache Guacamole, please see:

Thanks!

Yes, I see the same in the Git repo:
https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/0970fbaa12a45b31117b94e2781f8b7fa5c37f07/build.xml#L106-L110
However, even with the build version changed to 17, it still says the
"minimum" version is 8. The commit message for this change just indicates
that they are changing the build version from 8 to 17:

Hi Mike,
If I look in the build.xml file, I see the following:
<!-- Java EE 8 platform requires Java 8+ -->
<!-- Keep in sync with webapps/docs/tomcat-docs.xsl -->
<property name="compile.release" value="8"/>
<property name="min.java.version" value="8"/>
<property name="build.java.version" value="17"/>
<!-- Check Java Build Version -->
<fail message="Java version ${build.java.version} or newer is
required (${java.version} is installed)">
<condition>
<and>
<not><javaversion atleast="${build.java.version}" /></not>
<not><isset property="skip.build.java.version"/></not>
</and>
</condition>
</fail>
This is what is generating the error because it is expecting
build.java.version to be 17!
I'll just try to move to 17, but it's just interesting that this hasn't
been an issue before. Obviously not a guacamole issue, but something
others might run into as well.
Jason.

I'm not sure why you're seeing such an error, but neither Guacamole nor
Tomcat 9 require Java 17. Guacamole requires Java 8 or later. I believe
the same is true for Tomcat 9:
https://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html
If you're seeing this when attempting to install/update Tomcat 9 (not
within the Tomcat logs when Guacamole starts up), it may be that your
distribution is enforcing its own requirements on top of the minimal
Java that Tomcat 9 technically requires.

Yes.

It's great to see yet another new Guacamole release ... thanks Mike and
Guacamole team!
I went to look at installing Guacamole 1.5.5, and I usually update my
tomcat to the latest 9.0 series, and JDK to the latest OpenJDK8.
When I tried to install the newest version of tomcat, 9.0.87, I see an
error: "Java version 17 or newer is required ".
I vaguely remember at some point there being an issue possibly with
later JDK and Guacamole, so I wanted to check first what is the latest
JDK I should be using with Guacamole?
I also assume, I should still be using Tomcat 9?
Lastly, I just wondered if anyone has possibly installed 1.5.5 on a
RHEL8 installation, and if there are any pitfalls I should be aware of?
Thanks!!
Jason.
