[ANNOUNCEMENT] Tomcat 3.2.2 beta 5 released
I am pleased to announce that the Tomcat 3.2.2 beta 5 release is now
available for download at
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/tomcat/release/v3.2.2-beta-5
The beta 5 release fixes a security problem that caused a URL such as
http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/num/numguess.jsp%00
to return the JSP source text on some platforms. If you are using any
previous beta release of Tomcat 3.2.2 please upgrade to beta 5 as soon as
possible.
The release notes file in src/doc/readme covers the details of the Tomcat
3.2.2 release.

I'll try to answer this, and be resoundingly corrected, or if folks are silent
you can assume I've got the gist of this...
Tomcat 3.2.2 beta 5 is a release-candidate. Everyone hopes it will be the
next release of Tomcat 3.2.2 since it incorporates security fixes you _need_.
You are encouraged to test this _now_ if you are a 3.2.1/3.2.2 user today.
Tomcat 3.3 is in development, and should near release over the next few months.
It incorporates new APIs and may include new connectors sometime in the near
future (or does right now, I'm not certain.) But treat it as a work-in-progress
until the beta nears, and if you like life on the edge, try using it instead.
It will be changing a bit between now and it's release.
Tomcat 4.0 is in development, and should near release sometime [?]. But it's a
rather new beast, supporting the next [not yet published] java servlets api
which is subject to change. It will bring Apache's 'filters' to Tomcat and
offer a host of new things, including [probably] a brand new apache connector
module [which of two, or both, isn't determined yet.] If you like life on the
bleeding edge, try tomcat 4.0 with apache 2.0, but be prepared to stay current
with the repositories on both, and don't put your money on building successfully
at any given point in time :-) It is likely to change alot between now and it's
release.
If I blew it, please correct me.

Tomcat 3.x support JSP Api 1.1 and Servlet Api 2.2 Tomcat 4.x
supports JSP Api 1.2 and Servlet Api 2.3 which are currently
in open draft and not final yet. Tomcat 4 will not be released
as stable until the specs for JSP1.2 and Servlet2.3 are released
as final. Then there's also some differences in features from the
different versions, read the RELEASE notes to find out what's new.

OK, that goes right to the top of the "Why didn't I think of that" list.
I'll add section to the Tomcat page describing the various releases.

Maybe something like this should be placed in an impossible to miss place
for whomever tries to download/get info on Tomcat.
It is the most efficient way to stop USERs confusion.

Nothing is going on... Tomcat 3.x is the reference implementation of the old
Servlet 2.2/JSP 1.1 APIs, while Tomcat 4.x is the reference implementation
of the upcoming new Servlet 2.3/JSP 1.2 APIs.
Depending on which API version you want, you might want to try either the
3.2 tree or the 4.0 tree...
