[ANN] Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M4 available

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

The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache
Tomcat 10.0.0-M4.

Apache Tomcat 10 is an open source software implementation of the
Jakarta Servlet, Jakarta Server Pages, Jakarta Expression Language,
Jakarta WebSocket, Jakarta Authentication and Jakarta Annotations
specifications.

Users of Tomcat 10 onwards should be aware that, as a result of the move
from Java EE to Jakarta EE as part of the transfer of Java EE to the
Eclipse Foundation, the primary package for all implemented APIs has
changed from javax.* to jakarta.*. This will almost certainly require
code changes to enable applications to migrate from Tomcat 9 and earlier
to Tomcat 10 and later. A migration tool is under development to aid
this process.

Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M4 is a milestone release of the 10.0.x
branch and has been made to provide users with early access to the new
features in Apache Tomcat 10.0.x so that they may provide feedback. The
notable changes compared to 10.0.0-M3 include:

- Replace configuration via system property with configuration via an
  attribute on the appropriate element where practical. A large number
  of system properties have been replaced.

- Add support for default values when using ${...} property replacement
  in configuration files. Based on a pull request provided by Bernd
  Bohmann.

- Replace the system property
  org.apache.tomcat.util.buf.UDecoder.ALLOW_ENCODED_SLASH with the
  Connector attribute encodedSolidusHandling that adds an additional
  option to pass the %2f sequence through to the application without
  decoding it in addition to rejecting such sequences and decoding such
  sequences.
