[TC5] Time to make a release?
There has been inquiries about a Tomcat 5 release, both in and out
of the mailing list. I usually direct them to our nightly builds,
but there is no links from the jakarta page, and they are not always
available. I think it's time that we make a release, to make it
easier for people to try it out.
I know there are a lot of work still going on, and a lot need to be
done to make it into a stable release. I am thinking about an alpha
release. Now that JSP 2.0 PFD2 has been published,
(http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/first/jsr152/index2.html)
and the jasper implementation has been complete, we need a release for
people to try it out.

I'm working on this...

The problem was that we were (and still are) in between feature
additions (new mapper, new JMX features), and right now the result is
probably flaky.
I would have wanted to get the JSR 77 lifecylce issues fixed (ie, when
you remove a context, you should remove the associated MBean, so that
the mapper gets a notification and can do the mapping correctly) before
tagging a new 5.0.1 alpha.
On the other tree, I still have the JSPC merging to do before tagging
4.1.20 (early next week, I'll be too busy tomorrow).
