Upcoming Tomcat 4.0 Final Release

["Craig R. McClanahan" <cr...@apache.org>]

I've just announced a release plan for Tomcat 4.0 (final release) on the
Tomcat developer's list.  Assuming it gets approved, you will see a final
release of Tomcat 4 on or about September 17, 2001.

How can you help?  By downloading the beta-7 release (or, better, a more
recent nightly build) and banging your applications against it.  Any bugs
you find should be reported (as soon as possible) to:

  http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/

under product category "Tomcat 4", so that they can be addressed before
the final release.

There are two "release candidate" releases scheduled prior to the final
release, on September 9 and September 12.  It would be very helpful if
people would download and test these releases as well, to make sure we
don't break something while fixing something else.

Thanks for your help!

I just wanted to say, thank you, to all the developers. I think you guys are
doing a great job. I had a chance to read through the docs more thoroughly
recently and I'm starting to get an idea of all the hard work you've been
putting in. I'm looking forward to using Tomcat 4 in our production
environment.

Thanks and great work.

Jon

For fellow folks of the WebApp module development, I'm going to do the same
with our little Apache connector, especially now that we have support for
the iPlanet web server, and Apache 2.0 (last one was a precious week!)...

I still need to fix a couple of issues with the build process, before
decretating martial law on that, but we should be ready to roll a new alpha
release by the end of the week, and then go beta when Tomcat 4.0 goes final.

Thanks to ALL of you who report bugs and hints... Really appreciate it...
