[ANN] Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M8 available

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

The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache
Tomcat 10.0.0-M8.

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-M8 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-M7 include:

- For requests containing the Expect: 100-continue header, optional
  support has been added to delay sending an intermediate 100 status
  response until the servlet reads the request body, allowing the
  servlet the opportunity to respond without asking for the request
  body. Based on a pull request by malaysf.

- Add support for a read idle timeout and a write idle timeout to the
  WebSocket session via custom properties in the user properties
  instance associated with the session. Based on a pull request by
  sakshamverma.

- Update the packaged version of the Tomcat Native Library to 1.2.25
