[ANN] Apache Tomcat 8.5.27 available

The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache
Tomcat 8.5.27.

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
8.5.24 include:


- Add support for GZIP compression with HTTP/2

- Expand the TLS functionality exposed via the Manager application

- Return a simple, plain text error message if a client attempts to make
  a plain text HTTP connection to a TLS enabled NIO or NIO2 Connector.

- Add a new system property
  (org.apache.jasper.runtime.BodyContentImpl.BUFFER_SIZE) to control the
  size of the buffer used by Jasper when buffering tag bodies.
