Tomcat Native and minimum OpenSSL version

Hi all,

We currently have the following text in the VERSIONS file for Tomcat Native:

=============
The current minimum versions are:
- OpenSSL 1.0.2
- APR 1.4.3

...

It is current anticipated that Tomcat Native releases will transition to 
1.3.x
after April 2021 when the minimum version will become OpenSSL 1.1.0 and
APR 1.5.2.
==============


This change was driven by Ubuntu 16.04 reaching EOL in April 2021. 
However, Debian 9 reaches EOL in June this year which would allow us to 
move to:
OpenSSL 1.1.1
APR 1.6.x


As I am about to prepare a Tomcat Native release do we want to make the 
switch to 1.3.0 now or wait until after June and go straight to 1.1.1/1.6.x?


Thoughts?

Mark

+1 to doing a tcnative release right now (!!).

I think we should not change anything until June and then go directly to 
1.1.1.
