[ANN] Apache Tomcat 9.0.71 available

[Rémy Maucherat <re...@apache.org>]

The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache
Tomcat 9.0.71.

Apache Tomcat 9 is an open source software implementation of the Java
Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java Unified Expression Language, Java
WebSocket and JASPIC technologies.

Apache Tomcat 9.0.71 is a bugfix and feature release. The notable
changes compared to 9.0.70 include:

- Correct a regression in the refactoring that replaced the use of the
   URL constructors. The regression broke lookups for resources that
   contained one or more characters in their name that required escaping
   when used in a URI path.

- When resetting an HTTP/2 stream because the final response has been
   generated before the request has been fully read, use the HTTP/2 error
   code NO_ERROR so that client does not discard the response. Based on a
   suggestion by Lorenzo Dalla Vecchia.

- Change the default of the org.apache.el.GET_CLASSLOADER_USE_PRIVILEGED
   system property to true unless the EL library is running on Tomcat in
   which case the default remains false as the EL library is already
   called from within a privileged block and skipping the unnecessary
   privileged block improves performance.

Along with lots of other bug fixes and improvements.
