Tomcat 8.5 download page - separate from 8.0 one
Hi!
Currently Tomcat 8.5 is downloaded from the same page as Tomcat 8.0
http://tomcat.apache.org/download-80.cgi
Note the "80" in the URL.
The documentation for 8.5 has a different URL in its configuration
In webapps\docs\tomcat-docs.xsl
<xsl:param name="dllink"
select="'http://tomcat.apache.org/download-85.cgi'"/>
For Tomcat 5 we used the same "5.5" page for both 5.5 and 5.0
downloads (web archive: [1]). Historically, there never was a "50.cgi"
page at tomcat.apache.org. It was "55.cgi" since the date when Tomcat
became a top-level project. [2]
Personally, I am OK with using the same page. A difference is that I
would move the recent version to the top of the page.
By the way, the "Which version?" page needs an update as well. Tomcat
8.5 is not listed there. [3]

I thought about changing that but didn't want to break existing links.
We should probably move to just major versions for Tomcat 10 onwards.

I'll fix that.

I was working on the basis that the most recent stable release should be
at the top. As soon as 8.5.x is stable, it will move to the top of that
page.

Ack.
