FYI, all Servlet/JSP TCKs passed on Tomcat 5.0.28 bundle.
+1 to mark it as STABLE. :-)
Thanks,

Thanks Yoav for making the release!
Just a couple of minor nits on the release notes, $Id: RELEASE-NOTES,v

Maybe give a hint on where to put them? TOMCAT_HOME/shared?

Having this list here is a really good idea - thanks!

commons-el.jar is in there twice, with different versions.

Where? Presumably under shared?

Again, more specific on where to put them - do you mean under
TOMCAT_HOME/shared/{lib,classes}?

Given that I think the large majority of the world uses 1.4 now, would
it maybe be better to say
"Older versions of the Java compiler (pre-1.4.x) used to leak memory...
Maybe even recommend that they upgrade to 1.4 if possible (now that 1.5
/ 5.0 is almost upon us)?

Again, where to put this? Of course it's "the "allowLinking" attribute
of the <Context element", but there
is a security issue with it; maybe refer them to read the discussion
under
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/context.html
before enabling it?
These are all minor nits, but each time we can clarify a detail like
this in the docco we might save a few postings
to the list that everybody would have to wade through...
Thanks again
Ian
