Please help : EOL TOMCAT 7 and 8.5

["BENGUIRA, Dan (Allianz en France)" <ex...@allianz.fr>]

Hello,

I'm sorry to bother you for a question as trivial as that, and I really checked carefully all the documentation available...

Do you please have the date of the end of life of Tomcat 7, and of TOMCAT 8.5 ?
I have access to the end of life of TOMCAT 6 via this link: https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-60-eol.html
TOMCAT 8 via this link : https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-80-eol.html
So I naturally tried https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-70-eol.html for TOMCAT 7, and https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-85-eol.html for tomcat 8.5, but it didn't work

Do you know a way of knowing those informations?

Thanks to the generous soul that would help me, I would be very grateful !

Kind regards,

If you search the Tomcat home page for "end of", you'll find only one
announcement: EOL for Tomcat 8.0.

Neither Tomcat 7.0 nor Tomcat 8.5 have announced EOL dates.

7.0 is basically in "maintenance mode" and will probably only receive
security patches or really really great improvements that are easy to
back-port. I would consider 8.5 to be the best stable production version
of Tomcat to use right now, as 9.0 doesn't have enough mileage under its
tires, yet.

Traditionally, the Tomcat has supported 3 versions simultaneously, so
Tomcat 7.0 will not reach EOL until we all start talking about Tomcat 10.

Tomcat 8.0 is receiving a bit of an "out of band" EOL because 8.5 is
superseding it. But tomcat 7.0 is safe for the foreseeable future.

Hope that helps,
-chris
