[ANN] Apache Tomcat 11.0.0-M14 (alpha) available

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

The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache
Tomcat 11.0.0-M14 (alpha).

Apache Tomcat 11 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 available to aid this process.

Apache Tomcat 11.0.0-M14 is a milestone release of the 11.0.x branch and 
has been made to provide users with early access to the new features in 
Apache Tomcat 11.0.x so that they may provide feedback. The notable 
changes compared to 11.0.0-M13 include:

- Add OpenSSL integration using the FFM API rather than Tomcat Native.
   OpenSSL support may be enabled by adding the
   org.apache.catalina.core.OpenSSLLifecycleListener listener on the
   Server element when using Java 22 or later.

- Fix reloading TLS configuration could cause the Connector to
   refuse new connections or the JVM to crash.

- Ensure that an IOException during the reading of the request
   triggers always error handling, regardless of whether the
   application swallows the exception.
