[ANN] Apache Tomcat 10.1.0-M1 (alpha) available

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

The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache
Tomcat 10.1.0-M1.

Apache Tomcat 10 is an open source software implementation of the
Jakarta Servlet, Jakarta Server Pages, Jakarta Expression Language,
Jakarta WebSocket, Jakarta Authentication and Jakarta Annotations
specifications.

Applications that run on Tomcat 9 and earlier will not run on Tomcat 10 
without changes. Java EE applications designed for Tomcat 9 and earlier 
may be placed in the $CATALINA_BASE/webapps-javaee directory and Tomcat 
will automatically convert them to Jakarta EE and copy them to the 
webapps directory. This conversion is performed using the Apache Tomcat 
migration tool for Jakarta EE tool which is also available as a separate 
download for off-line use.

Apache Tomcat 10.1.0-M1 is the first milestone release of the 10.1.x
branch and has been made to provide users with early access to the new
features in Apache Tomcat 10.1.x so that they may provide feedback. The
notable changes compared to 10.0.x include:

- Remove code (but not the APR/Native Connector) previously marked for
   removal in 10.1.x The APR/Native Connector will almost certainly be
   removed in a future milestone.

- Align the Servlet API implementation with the current Servlet API
   development branch.

- Align the EL API implementation with the current El API development
   branch.
