[ANNOUNCEMENT] Apache Tomcat 4.0.1

[Remy Maucherat <re...@apache.org>]

The first maintnance release to Tomcat 4.0 is now available.
Please read the "RELEASE-NOTES-4.0.1.txt" file in the top level directory
of the distribution for the latest information on recent changes and known
issues.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This release include security fixes when running Tomcat 4.0
under a security manager. The CGI and SSI servlets, as well as the manager
servlet could be exploited by a web application to get around the security
constraints, and run arbitrary code on the server.

This release also includes:
- AJP 1.3 support
- Fixes for the class loading problems which have been reported
- Specification compliance fixes
- Many other bug fixes and small enhancements

Documentation is available online at:

  http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/

Binary distributions of Apache Tomcat 4.0.1 are available at:

  http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0.1/bin/

Source distributions of Apache Tomcat 4.0.1 are available at:

  http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0.1/src/

Remy or other committers,

A source downloads page on the Jakarta web site isn't updated and it
still points to Tomcat 4.0.

http://jakarta.apache.org/site/sourceindex.html

Would you update this web page?

Hi!

Yes, I do believe this kind of installation is the easiest and I do try to 
install most of my software like this.
I don't want any setups, RPMs, .... to put files where I cannot find them :)

Best regards,
         Kovi

BTW, Tomcat 4.0 RPMs did not contain providerutil.jar (so LDAP was
unusable). Could you please fix it in 4.0.1 RPMs?

RPMS enforce the "correct" way of doing things, which means that in six
months time when another admin takes over the machine they're not going
to find any surprises.

What in the world do you need RPM's for?!?

Just untar the (platform independant) binary release in a directory of
choice, and you're all set up to run tomcat.

Have RPM's become some kind of religion, that even for truely trivial
setups people still demand RPM's?

install: cd /usr/local; tar zxvf jakarta-tomcat*.tar.gz
uninstall: rm -rf /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0

what more do you want?

When could we expect (S)RPMs? 
Also, what are these "class loading problems". Are there full Release
Notes online?

Sergey
