You can find out about changes to the Tomcat source code as they happen by
subscribing to the TOMCAT-DEV list -- every CVS commit causes an email message
that is sent to all TOMCAT-DEV subscribers.

However, the Tomcat project doesn't publish "patches to be applied to version
x".  Instead, code changes are generally applied to what will become the next
release.  If you need the most up-to-date code, one option is to download the
nightly builds and use them -- although you should be aware that these builds
have not been extensively tested.
