[ANN] Apache Tomcat 8.5.6 available

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

The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache
Tomcat 8.5.6.

Tomcat 8.x users should normally be using 8.5.x releases in preference
to 8.0.x releases.

Apache Tomcat 8 is an open source software implementation of the Java
Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java Unified Expression Language, Java
WebSocket and Java Authentication Service Provider Interface for
Containers technologies.

Apache Tomcat 8.5.x is intended to replace 8.0.x and includes new
features pulled forward from the 9.0.x branch. The notable changes since
8.5.5 include:

- Refactoring the non-container thread Async complete()/dispatch()
  handling to remove the possibility of deadlock

- Update the packaged version of the Tomcat Native Library to
  1.2.10 to pick up the latest Windows binaries built with
  OpenSSL 1.0.2j

- Improved UTF-8 handling for the RewriteValve
