[ANN] Apache Tomcat 7.0.29 released

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

The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache
Tomcat 7.0.29.

Apache Tomcat is an open source software implementation of the Java
Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies.

This release corrects a small number of regressions introduced in the
7.0.28 release and takes account of several recent clarifications from
the Servlet Expert Group as well as containing a handful of bug fixes
and small improvements compared to version 7.0.28. The notable changes
include:
* Add support for a default error page
* The servlet version defined in web.xml no longer determines if Tomcat
  scans for annotations when the web application starts. This is now
  solely controlled by metadata-complete element.
* On web application start, JARs are now always scanned for
  ServletContainerInitializers regardless of the setting of
  metadata-complete

Please refer to the change log for the complete list of changes:

Note: This version has 4 zip binaries: a generic one and three
      bundled with Tomcat native binaries for Windows operating systems
      running on different CPU architectures.

Note: If you use the APR/native AJP or HTTP connector you *must* upgrade
      to version 1.1.24 or later of the AJP/native library
