[ANN] Apache Tomcat 8.5.85 available [CORRECTION]

The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache
Tomcat 8.5.85.

[This post corrects the previous announcement on 2023-01-19 which 
contained the wrong version number in the subject line. Both posts refer 
to the same actual release from 2023-01-19.]

Apache Tomcat 8 is an open source software implementation of the Java
Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java Unified Expression Language, Java
WebSocket and JASPIC technologies.

Apache Tomcat 8.5.85 is a bugfix and feature release. The notable
changes compared to 8.5.84 include:

- The default value of <code>AccessLogValve</code>'s file encoding is
    now UTF-8.

- Correct a regression in the refactoring that replaced the use of the
    URL constructors. The regression broke lookups for resources that
    contained one or more characters in their name that required escaping
    when used in a URI path.

- When an HTTP/2 stream was reset, the current active stream count was
    not reduced. If enough resets occurred on a connection, the current
    active stream count limit was reached and no new streams could be
    created on that connection.

- Change the default of the org.apache.el.GET_CLASSLOADER_USE_PRIVILEGED
    system property to true unless the EL library is running on Tomcat in
    which case the default remains false as the EL library is already
    called from within a privileged block and skipping the unnecessary
    privileged block improves performance.

Along with lots of other bug fixes and improvements.
