[ANN] Apache Tomcat 11.0.0-M16 (alpha) available

[Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org>]

The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache
Tomcat 11.0.0-M16 (alpha).

Apache Tomcat 11 is an open source software implementation of the
Jakarta Servlet, Jakarta Server Pages, Jakarta Expression Language,
Jakarta WebSocket, Jakarta Authentication and Jakarta Annotations
specifications.

Users of Tomcat 10 onwards should be aware that, as a result of the move
from Java EE to Jakarta EE as part of the transfer of Java EE to the
Eclipse Foundation, the primary package for all implemented APIs has
changed from javax.* to jakarta.*. This will almost certainly require
code changes to enable applications to migrate from Tomcat 9 and earlier
to Tomcat 10 and later. A migration tool is available to aid this process.

Apache Tomcat 11.0.0-M16 is a milestone release of the 11.0.x branch and 
has been made to provide users with early access to the new features in 
Apache Tomcat 11.0.x so that they may provide feedback. The notable 
changes compared to 11.0.0-M15 include:

- Fix virtual thread support for the NIO2 connector

- Correct a regression in the fix for 67675 that broke TLS key file
   parsing for PKCS#8 format keys that do not specify an explicit
   pseudo-random function and rely on the default. This typically affects
   keys generated by OpenSSL 1.0.2.

- Allow multiple operations with the same name on introspected mbeans,
   fixing a regression caused by the introduction of a second
   addSslHostConfig() method.
