IMO the different server.xml files are a potential release blocker -
the differences include changes to the names of parameters in the
comments, so at least one of the files must have incorrect
information. Extract from diff:
- clusterName = a descriptive name for your cluster, can be anything
+ name = a descriptive name for your cluster, can be anything
...
- mcastBindAddress = bind the multicast socket to a specific address
+ mcastBindAddr = bind the multicast socket to a specific address
Note that neither of the versions of the file actually includes
examples using name/clusterName or mcastBindAddress/mcastBindAddr,
which also ought to be corrected.

Thanks for clarification Konstantin. I haven't used the installer for a
long time. If it's no regression, then it's no blocker.

No, it is a known feature. It is there for I do not know how many releases. It
is observed by those who clicked through the EXE installer without paying
attention. One page of the installer asks you about user name and password,
and you end up with
<user name="admin" password="" roles="admin,manager" />
in your tomcat-users.xml, as those are the default values.
I consider that a serious problem, and would like at least to make
that installation
step optional, but I have not yet found time for it.
Patches are welcome.

Regarding the other questions:
> There is no .zip version of apache-tomcat-5.5.28-fulldocs.tar.gz
Yes, there is how it is. Those are the files that are to be published
on tomcat.apache.org. There is no zip version of it, and it is not
planned to create one.

That file is stored in Subversion, thus it belong to the release.
I removed it from SVN in rev.797772 - I think it is trivial.

Yes, if there is a difference, it is a bug. Thank you for noticing,
+1 to fix it. Not a showstopper though.

Those are in the build folder. The same in 5.5.27 and earlier.
Maybe we can copy them into the root folder (as well as "build.xml"
from build/resources
that is copied to the root folder as well as to tomcat-docs).
I think it can be fixed.

That is because those components have to be compiled by a C/C++
compiler on the target platform.

The default web application has a link to the RELEASE-NOTES. Also, EXE installer
displays them (instead of a Readme) after installation.
I, personally, am +1 to include a second copy of RELEASE-NOTES in the
root folder, though maybe others will object. The archive will be
larger (having a duplicate copy of a file).
It is true, though, as sebb once wrote, that RELEASE-NOTES contains
clearly visible Tomcat version number, and you can see it there, if it
is in the root folder, even if you replaced the ROOT webapp.

IMHO this would be a release blocker.
Of course if it is only a packaging problem, we can still fix for 28.

There is no .zip version of apache-tomcat-5.5.28-fulldocs.tar.gz
The source archives contain the file
container/webapps/admin/images/Thumbs.db
which does not belong in the archive.
Also, the file
container/modules/storeconfig-ha/test/conf/catalina.keystore
is different in the .zip and .tar.gz versions of the archives.
Looks like a packaging error - perhaps accidental EOL conversion?
There are no NOTICE or LICENSE files in the top-level of the source archives.
The binary archives contain the files
bin/jsvc.tar.gz
bin/tomcat-native.tar.gz
which appears to be source code only.
When the EXE is unpacked, there is no RELEASE-NOTES file in the
top-level directory where one would expect to find it.
The server.xml file in the EXE is different from the one in the bin
file and appears to be an old version.
Likewise, the file tomcat-users.xml looks wrong - it says that there
is no user with the manager role, yet it contains the following entry:
<user name="admin" password="" roles="admin,manager" />
