## Changelog

### Tomcat 11.0.25 (markt)

#### Catalina

- Ensure that a `login-config` conflict when merging web.xml fragments triggers a deployment failure. (markt)
- Remove unnecessary calls to `String.intern()` in the parsing of configuration files. (markt)
- Extend `sessionAttributeValueClassNameFilter` to include filtering of dynamic proxy interface classes. (markt)
- Attempt to use rollback when persisting user data to the `DataSourceUserDatabase` fails and improve error reporting. (remm)
- 70143: Handle InvalidFileNameException when parsing parts to rethrow it as an `IllegalStateException` as mandated by the Servlet specification. (remm)
- Add missing reason to the `JsonErrorReportValve`. (remm)
- Fix evaluation of the `N` and `C` flags for rewrite rules. (remm)
- `qsd` flag should always discard the original query string when rewriting. (remm)
- Add appropriate escaping for context path, current directory name and parent directory name for directory listings produced by the default servlet. Ensure XML escaping is used with XML output. (markt)
- When processing certificate subject names and issuer names within RewriteValve rules, always use the RFC 2253 format name. (markt)
- Fix the incorrect rejection of requests using digest authentication when the client provided nonce count is at the upper boundary of the window (markt).
- Separate the `Context` role mapping from the Servlet specification `security-role-ref`. (remm)
- Handle the case where the `JNDIRealm` is configured to perform role searches with `userRoleAttribute` but the attribute is not available or not configured for the current user. (markt)
- Improve handling of session attribute addition concurrent with session expiration. An application will now either see a successful addition followed by expiration or the addition will not succeed. It is no longer possible for the session to expire and the addition to succeed. This is of particular not for attributes that implement `HttpSessionBindingListener`. (markt)
- Add a new attribute to the `Context`, `urlPatternsProvidedInDecodedForm`. This attribute controls whether URLs and URL patterns provided in the deployment descriptor (web.xml), annotations and/or their programmatic equivalents are treated as being provided in URL-encoded form (i.e. using %nn encoding) or in decoded form. The Servlet specification requires that they are provided in decoded form. However, Tomcat has historically treated them as if they are provided in encoded form. In Tomcat 12, they will always be treated as if they are provided in decoded form. This setting enables migration from encoded form to decoded form on an application by application basis. This attribute will be removed in Tomcat 12 where it will effectively be hard-coded to `true`. (markt)
- Ensure the security constraint with the longest matching path is selected when more than one constraint matches the request path. (markt)
- If the request saved by FORM authentication uses a method other than GET, ensure that the security constraints are re-assessed after the saved request is restored and before it is processed. Custom `Authenticator` implementations that extend `FormAuthenticator` and override `doAuthenticate()` and/or `restoreRequest()` will require modification. (markt)
- Various improvements to the `DataSourceRealm`. A failure to connect to the database or an exception during either user or role lookup will now result in an authentication failure rather than a partially populated Principal. For `CLIENT-CERT` and `SPNEGO` authentication, the user must exist in the database for authentication to succeed. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Add utility AutoCloseable URLConnection wrapper, and use it to cleanup existing code patterns. (remm/markt)
- When processing an HTTP upgrade from HTTP/1.1 to HTTP/2, ensure that all the HTTP/1.1 data has been processed before switching protocols. (markt)
- Require every HTTP/2 request to provide an authority (either an `:authority` pseudo header or a `Host` header). (markt)
- Register the use of an HTTP/2 stream identifier earlier so that there is no possibility of a re-used stream identifier being accepted, regardless of how early in the HEADERS frame processing an error is detected. (markt)
- Add new attributes (`unixDomainSocketParentPermissions` and `unixDomainSocketParentOwner`) to the NIO connector to provide additional control over the security of Unix Domain Sockets. Additional checks (enabled by default) have also been added for the directory where the Unix Domain Socket will be created.(markt)
- Fix an allocation leak in the HTTP/2 backlog tracking when a stream is reset. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Ensure internal state is reset before re-using ELParser. (markt)

#### Cluster

- Change the default `encryptionAlgorithm` for the `EncryptInterceptor` to `AES/GCM/NoPadding`. This is a breaking change for the `EncryptInterceptor`. (markt)
- Expand the documentation for the `EncryptInterceptor` to be more explicit regarding the security weaknesses of some supported algorithms. Also explicitly state that the replay protection is only effective for non-malleable algorithms. (markt)
- Expand the Javadoc for the `DNSMembershipProvider` in particular explaining its behaviour and providing configuration advice if control more over cluster membership is required. (markt)

#### WebSocket

- Add a limit (defaults to 8KB) on the size of the HTTP response headers accepted during a WebSocket HTTP upgrade. This is configured via the `org.apache.tomcat.websocket.MAX_HTTP_RESPONSE_HEADER_BYTES` user property. (markt)
- Improve URI template matching for WebSocket end points. Trailing slashes are now significant both for template definitions and URIs considered for potential matches to those URIs. Note that this means if a URI template ends in a variable without a trailing slash, that variable might be expanded to the empty string. (markt)
- Account for session ID changes when tracking WebSocket connections for closure because they were created under an authenticated HTTP session that has since ended. (markt)

#### Web applications

- 70160: Correct various references to the Servlet specification to use version 6.1. (markt)
- Documentation: Better sample httpd configuration for use with SSLValve and add a note that the exact configuration required will depend on the overall httpd configuration. (markt)
- Examples: Limit the buffering of messages in the WebSocket chat example to prevent a malicious client triggering excessive memory usage that could lead to a DoS. (markt)
- Documentation: Expand the description of the `%S` (session ID) access log pattern token. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Avoid a potential JVM crash if a suitable version of Tomcat Native is not available when the connector is explicitly configured to use Tomcat Native with OpenSSL for TLS. (markt)

#### Jasper

- 70120: The fix for 69399 (itself a fix for a regression in the fix for 69333) was incomplete and tags that threw exceptions in `doStartTag()` and `doEndTag()` were incorrectly re-used. This fix prevents tags from being re-used if such an exception occurs. (markt)
- Add support for specifying Java 28 (with the value `28`) as the compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with an Eclipse JDT compiler version that does not support these values, a warning will be logged and the default will be used. (markt)

- Lower the log level to debug when OpenSSL initialization fails in `OpenSSLLifecycleListener` to avoid stack traces when `libssl.so` is not present and to align the behavior of the `isAvailable()` check with the `AprLifecycleListener` and gracefully fail when natives are not present. (csutherl)
- 70038: `Cookie.clone()` should also clone the internal attribute map. (markt)
- Remove unnecessary code from the SSI processing engine that was duplicating some of the normalisation checks. (markt)
- Cleaner handling of invalid SPNEGO tokens. (remm)
- Avoid some NPEs in the Connector class on an uninitialize protocol. (remm)

- Incorrect processing of modified users in `DataSourceUserDatabase`. (remm)
- Clarify behavior in the `UserDatabase` for user, role and group creation that it does not immediately override existing elements. Removal (or update) needs to be used instead. (remm)
- 70049: Align the web application class loader with parent class loaders and swallow any errors caused by invalid paths when looking up resources and behave as if the resources were not found in that case. (markt)
- Improve validation of `Range` and `Content-Range` parsers so invalid ranges trigger a `4xx` response rather than a `500` response. Pull request #1012 provided by Sahana Surendra Bogar. (markt)
- Fix connection leak in `ProxyErrorReportValve`. (remm)
- When using the `RewriteValve`, `%{SSL:HTTPS}` now returns `on` or `off` rather than `true` or `false` to align with httpd. (markt)

- Update default web.xml version to match supported Servlet specification version. (markt)
- Change the default for the `useRedirect` attribute of the `ProxyErrorReportValve` from `true` to `false`. (markt)
- Add support for the `showReport` attribute in `JsonErrorReportValve` and `ProxyErrorReportValve`. When set to `false`, detailed error information (message, description, stack trace) is suppressed from error responses. (dsoumis)
- Avoid a `NoClassDefFoundError` at startup when `catalina-tribes.jar` is removed but `catalina-ha.jar` is present and the `Cluster` element is enabled in `server.xml`. Cluster digester rules are now fully conditional on both JARs being available. (dsoumis)
- Fix a potential deadlock when copying resources using WebDAV. (markt)
- Add `jakarta.`, `org.apache.catalina.` and `org.apache.tomcat.`to the list of reserved prefixes for SSI variables and request attributes. (markt)
- Missing URL decoding when processing `addMapping` on a Servlet registration. (remm)
- The `Timeout` WebDAV header allows comma separated values (according to the examples in the RFC). Use the first acceptable value. (remm)
- Fix various issues when logging the effective web.xml for a web application. Empty sections are no longer logged. Special roles and empty authorisation constraints are included. All session cookie attributes are included. (markt)
- Expand the write lock for the save process in the `MemoryUserDatabase` to avoid concurrency issues with the file save operations. (markt)
- Ensure atomic session persistence in `FileStore`. Based on pull request #1016 by sahvx655-wq. (markt)
- Do not ignore methods configured on security constraints that map to the default servlet. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Log a suitable warning if an encrypted PEM file is detected using an insecure form for encryption. (markt)
- If TLS groups have been configured, use the configured groups rather than using OpenSSL's default TLS groups when using Tomcat Native with OpenSSL based connectors. (markt)
- For HTTP/2, ensure that any in progress request body reads are cancelled if the container resets the associated stream. This prevents delays waiting for reads to time out when it is known that no more data will be received. (markt)
- Ensure that malformed HTTP/2 messages that should trigger a stream reset do so, rather than triggered a connection close. (markt)
- Improve enforcement of header trailer allow list for HTTP/2. (remm)
- 70050: Avoid NPE when no header frame is processed in HTTP/2, following refactor clean-up of header buffer. (remm)

- Call the delegate key manager in JSSE to retrieve the server key. (remm)
- Avoid overflow scenarios in Asn1Parser. (remm)
- 70091: Add a new attribute, `allowSchemeMismatch` to `Http2Protocol` that allows the consistency check for the scheme provided by the user agent to be bypassed. (markt)

- Ensure the HTTP/2 request header read buffer is reset (including restoration to default size) after a stream reset. (markt)
- Provide trailer field filtering equivalent to that provided for non-trailer fields. Control characters (excluding TAB), and characters with code points above 255 will be replaced with a space. (markt)
- Align OpenSSL FFM behaviour with Tomcat Native for various OCSP edge cases. (markt)

#### Jasper

- 69995: Make dependent ordering predictable. Patch submitted by Jan Luehe. (remm)

- Add size limit for OCSP responses. Based on code submitted by Chenjp. (remm)
- To maintain the documented alignment with the OpenSSL development branch, the use of the aliases `SSLv3`, `EXPORT`, `EXPORT40`, `EXPORT56`, `KRB5`, `kFZA`, `aFZA`, `eFZA` and `FZA` are no longer supported when setting the `ciphers` attribute of an `SSLHostConfig` element. (markt)

- Update `StoreRegistry` to dynamically load optional clustering classes rather than statically referencing them. This matches the pattern used in `Catalina.addClusterRuleSet()` and prevents `NoClassDefFoundError` when `StoreConfigLifecycleListener` is configured but clustering classes are not available. (csutherl)
- Update the minimum recommended version of Tomcat Native so that users of 1.3.x are recommended to update to 2.0.x. (markt)
- Respect the value for the `jdk.tls.namedGroups` system property as the default value for the configured group list on the Connector. (remm)
- 69964: Respect the configured cipher order, which was no longer respected following the addition of TLS 1.3 specific cipher configuration. TLS 1.3 ciphers will always be first in the list. (remm)

- Update the parser for the HTTP `Host` header and `:authority` pseudo header to convert the port, if any, to an `Integer` rather than a `Long` to be consistent with how port is exposed in the Servlet API. (markt)
- To aid the migration from the single `ciphers` configuration attribute to the use of `ciphers` and `cipherSuites`, TLS 1.3 cipher suites listed in the `ciphers` attribute will be removed from the `ciphers` attribute and added to the end of the `cipherSuites` attribute. This behaviour will be removed in Tomcat 12.0.x onwards. (markt)
- Replace the external OpenSSL based OCSP responder used during unit tests with a Bouncy Castle based, in-process Java OCSP responder. (markt)

- Improve warnings when setting ciphers lists in the FFM code, mirroring the tomcat-native changes. (remm)
- 69910: Dereference TLS objects right after closing a socket to improve memory efficiency. (remm)
- Relax the JSSE vs OpenSSL configuration style checks on `SSLHostConfig` to reflect the existing implementation that allows one configuration style to be used for the trust attributes and a different style for all the other attributes. (markt)
- Better warning message when `OpenSSLConf` configuration elements are used with a JSSE TLS implementation. (markt)
- When using OpenSSL via FFM, don't log a warning about missing CA certificates unless CA certificates were configured and the configuration failed. (markt)
- For configuration consistency between OpenSSL and JSSE TLS implementations, TLSv1.3 cipher suites included in the `ciphers` attribute of an `SSLHostConfig` are now always ignored (previously they would be ignored with OpenSSL implementations and used with JSSE implementations) and a warning is logged that the cipher suite has been ignored. (markt)
- Add the `ciphersuite` attribute to `SSLHostConfig` to configure the TLSv1.3 cipher suites. (markt)
- Add OCSP support to JSSE based TLS connectors and make the use of OCSP configurable per connector for both JSSE and OpenSSL based TLS implementations. Align the checks performed by OpenSSL with those performed by JSSE. (markt)

### 2025-03-05 Tomcat 11.0.5 (markt)

#### Catalina

- When looking up class loader resources by resource name, the resource name should not start with '/'. If the resource name does start with '/', Tomcat is lenient and looks it up as if the '/' was not present. When the web application class loader was configured with external repositories and names starting with '/' were used for lookups, it was possible that cached 'not found' results could effectively hide lookup results using the correct resource name. (markt)

Where one or more web applications are potentially vulnerable to CVE-2024-56337 and the JVM cannot be correctly configured or it cannot be confirmed that the JVM has been correctly configured, prevent the impacted web applications from starting. (markt)
- When using the WebDAV servlet with `serveSubpathOnly` set to `true`, ensure that the destination for any requested WebDAV operation is also restricted to the sub-path. (markt)
- Generate an appropriate `Allow` HTTP header when the Default servlet returns a 405 (method not allowed) response in response to a `DELETE` request because the target resource cannot be deleted. Pull request #802 provided by Chenjp. (markt)
- Refactor creation of `RequestDispatcher` instances so that the processing of the provided path is consistent with normal request processing. (markt)
- Add `encodedReverseSolidusHandling` and `encodedSolidusHandling` attributes to Context to provide control over the handling of the path used to created a `RequestDispatcher`. (markt)
- Handle a potential `NullPointerException` after an `IOException` occurs on a non-container thread during asynchronous processing. (markt)
- Enhance lifecycle of temporary files used by partial PUT. (remm)
- Added support for limiting the number of parameters in HTTP requests through the new `ParameterLimitValve`. The valve allows configurable URL-specific limits on the number of parameters. (dsoumis)

#### Coyote

- Don't log warnings for registered HTTP/2 settings that Tomcat does not support. These settings are now silently ignored. (markt)
- Avoid a rare `NullPointerException` when recycling the `Http11InputBuffer`. (markt)
- Lower the log level to debug for logging an invalid socket channel when processing poller events for the NIO Connector as this may occur in normal usage. (markt)
- Refactor the `SavedRequestInputFilter` so the buffered data is used directly rather than copied. (markt)
- Replace the unused buffer in `org.apache.catalina.connector.InputBuffer` with a static, zero length buffer. (markt)
- Clean-up references to the HTTP/2 stream once request processing has completed to aid GC and reduce the size of the HTTP/2 recycled request and response cache. (markt)
- Add a new Connector configuration attribute, `encodedReverseSolidusHandling`, to control how `%5c` sequences in URLs are handled. The default behaviour is unchanged (decode) keeping in mind that the allowBackslash attribute determines how the decoded URI is processed. (markt)
- 69545: Improve CRLF skipping for the `available` method of the `ChunkedInputFilter`. (remm)
- Improve the performance of repeated calls to `getHeader()`. Pull request #813 provided by Adwait Kumar Singh. (markt)
- 69559: Ensure that the Java 24 warning regarding the use of `sun.misc.Unsafe::invokeCleaner` is only reported by the JRE when the code will be used. (markt)

#### Jasper

- 69508: Correct a regression in the fix for 69382 that broke JSP include actions if both the page attribute and the body contained parameters. Pull request #803 provided by Chenjp. (markt)
- Update the identifier validation in the Expression Language parser to reflect that, as of Java 9, `_` is also a Java keyword and may not be used as an identifier. (markt)
- 69521: Update the EL Parser to allow the full range of valid characters in an EL identifier as defined by the Java Language Specification. (markt)
- 69532: Optimise the creation of `ExpressionFactory` instances. Patch provided by John Engebretson. (markt)

- Add special handling for the `protocols` attribute of `SSLHostConfig` in storeconfig. (remm)
- 69442: Fix case sensitive check on `content-type` when parsing request parameters. (remm)
- Refactor duplicate code for extracting media type and subtype from `content-type` into a single method. (markt)
- Compatibility of generated embedded code with components where constructors or property related methods throw a checked exception. (remm)
- The previous fix for inconsistent resource metadata during concurrent reads and writes was incomplete. (markt)
- #780: Fix `content-range` header length. Submitted by Chenjp. (remm)
- 69444: Ensure that the `jakarta.servlet.error.message` request attribute is set when an application defined error page is called. (markt)
- Avoid quotes for numeric values in the JSON generated by the status servlet. (remm)
- Add strong ETag support for the WebDAV and default servlet, which can be enabled by using the `useStrongETags` init parameter with a value set to `true`. The ETag generated will be a SHA-1 checksum of the resource content. (remm)
- Use client locale for directory listings. (remm)
- 69439: Improve the handling of multiple `Cache-Control` headers in the `ExpiresFilter`. Based on pull request #777 by Chenjp. (markt)
- 69447: Update the support for caching classes the web application class loader cannot find to take account of classes loaded from external repositories. Prior to this fix, these classes could be incorrectly marked as not found. (markt)
- 69466: Rework handling of HEAD requests. Headers explicitly set by users will not be removed and any header present in a HEAD request will also be present in the equivalent GET request. There may be some headers, as per RFC 9110, section 9.3.2, that are present in a GET request that are not present in the equivalent HEAD request. (markt)
- 69471: Log instances of `CloseNowException` caught by `ApplicationDispatcher.invoke()` at debug level rather than error level as they are very likely to have been caused by a client disconnection or similar I/O issue. (markt)
- Add a test case for the fix for 69442. Also refactor references to `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`. Based on pull request #779 by Chenjp. (markt)
- 69476: Catch possible ISE when trying to report PUT failure in the `DefaultServlet`. (remm)
- Add support for RateLimit header fields for HTTP (draft) in the `RateLimitFilter`. Based on pull request #775 provided by Chenjp. (markt)

- #787: Add regression tests for 69478. Pull request provided by Thomas Krisch. (markt)
- The default servlet now rejects HTTP range requests when two or more of the requested ranges overlap. Based on pull request #782 provided by Chenjp. (markt)
- Enhance Content-Range verification for partial PUT requests handled by the default servlet. Provided by Chenjp in pull request #778. (markt)
- Harmonize `DataSourceStore` lookup in the global resources to optionally avoid the `comp/env` prefix which is usually not used there. (remm)
- As required by RFC 9110, the HTTP `Range` header will now only be processed for `GET` requests. Based on pull request #790 provided by Chenjp. (markt)
- Deprecate the `useAcceptRanges` initialisation parameter for the default servlet. It will be removed in Tomcat 12 onwards where it will effectively be hard coded to `true`. (markt)
- Add `DataSource` based property storage for the `WebdavServlet`. (remm)

#### Coyote

- Align `encodedSolidusHandling` with the Servlet specification. If the pass-through mode is used, any `%25` sequences will now also be passed through to avoid errors and/or corruption when the application decodes the path. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Further optimise EL evaluation of method parameters. Patch provided by Paolo B. (markt)
- Follow-up to the fix for 69381. Apply the optimisation for method lookup performance in expression language to an additional location. (markt)

#### Web applications

- Documentation. Remove references to the `ResourceParams` element. Support for `ResourceParams` was removed in Tomcat 5.5.x. (markt)
- Documentation. 69477: Correct name of attribute for `RemoteIPFilter`. The attribute is `internalProxies` rather than `allowedInternalProxies`. Pull request #786 provided by Jorge Díaz. (markt)
- Examples. Fix broken links when Servlet Request Info example is called via a URL that includes a pathInfo component. (markt)
- Examples. Expand the obfuscation of session cookie values in the request header example to JSON responses. (markt)
- Examples. Add the ability to delete session attributes in the servlet session example. (markt)
- Examples. Add a hard coded limit of 10 attributes per session for the servlet session example. (markt)
- Examples. Add the ability to delete session attributes and add a hard coded limit of 10 attributes per session for the JSP form authentication example. (markt)
- Examples. Limit the shopping cart example to only allow adding the pre-defined items to the cart. (markt)
- Examples. Remove JSP calendar example. (markt)

### 2024-11-10 Tomcat 11.0.1 (markt)

#### Catalina

- Add support for the new Servlet API method `HttpServletResponse.sendEarlyHints()`. (markt)
- 55470: Add debug logging that reports the class path when a `ClassNotFoundException` occurs in the digester or the web application class loader. Based on a patch by Ralf Hauser. (markt)
- 69374: Properly separate between table header and body in `DefaultServlet`'s listing. (michaelo)
- 69373: Make `DefaultServlet`'s HTML listing file last modified rendering better (flexible). (michaelo)
- Improve HTML output of `DefaultServlet`. (michaelo)
- Refactor `RateLimitFilter` to use `FilterBase` as the base class. The primary advantage for doing this is less code to process `init-param` values. (markt)
- 69370: `DefaultServlet`'s HTML listing uses incorrect labels. (michaelo)
- Avoid NPE in `CrawlerSessionManagerValve` for partially mapped requests. (remm)
- Add missing WebDAV `Lock-Token` header in the response when locking a folder. (remm)
- Invalid WebDAV lock requests should be rejected with 400. (remm)
- Fix regression in WebDAV when attempting to unlock a collection. (remm)
- Verify that destination is not locked for a WebDAV copy operation. (remm)
- Send 415 response to WebDAV `MKCOL` operations that include a request body since this is optional and unsupported. (remm)
- Enforce `DAV:` namespace on WebDAV XML elements. (remm)
- Do not allow a new WebDAV lock on a child resource if a parent collection is locked (RFC 4918 section 6.1). (remm)
- WebDAV `DELETE` should remove any existing lock on successfully deleted resources. (remm)
- Remove WebDAV lock null support in accordance with RFC 4918 section 7.3 and annex D. Instead a lock on a non existing resource will create an empty file locked with a regular lock. (remm)
- Rewrite implementation of WebDAV shared locks to comply with RFC 4918. (remm)
- Implement WebDAV `If` header using code from the Apache Jackrabbit project. (remm)
- Add `PropertyStore` interface in the WebDAV Servlet, to allow implementation of dead properties storage. The store used can be configured using the `propertyStore` init parameter of the WebDAV servlet by specifying the class name of the store. A simple non persistent implementation is used if no custom store is configured. (remm)
- Implement WebDAV `PROPPATCH` method using the newly added `PropertyStore`, and update `PROPFIND` to support it. (remm)
- Cache not found results when searching for web application class loader resources. This addresses performance problems caused by components such as `java.sql.DriverManager` which, in some circumstances, will search for the same class repeatedly. In a large web application this can cause performance problems. The size of the cache can be controlled via the new `notFoundClassResourceCacheSize` on the StandardContext. (markt)
- Stop after `INITIALIZED` state should be a noop since it is possible for subcomponents to be in `FAILED` after init. (remm)
- Fix incorrect web resource cache size calculations when there are concurrent `PUT` and `DELETE` requests for the same resource. (markt)
- Add debug logging for the web resource cache so the current size can be tracked as resources are added and removed. (markt)
- Replace legacy WebDAV `opaquelocktoken:` scheme for lock tokens with `urn:uuid:` as recommended by RFC 4918, and remove `secret` init parameter. (remm)
- Concurrent reads and writes (e.g. `GET` and `PUT` / `DELETE`) for the same path caused corruption of the `FileResource` where some of the fields were set as if the file exists and some were set as if it does not. This resulted in inconsistent metadata. (markt)
- 69415: Ensure that the `ExpiresFilter` only sets cache headers on `GET` and `HEAD` requests. Also skip requests where the application has set `Cache-Control: no-store`. (markt)
- 69419: Improve the performance of `ServletRequest.getAttribute()` when there are multiple levels of nested includes. Based on a patch provided by John Engebretson. (markt)
- 69426: Restore providing a value (rather than null) for `Class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation()` as a number of libraries and JRE features depend on this being non-null even when a SecurityManager is not is use. (markt)
- All applications to send an early hints informational response by calling `HttpServletResponse.sendError()` with a status code of 103. (schultz)

#### Coyote

- Return null SSL session id on zero length byte array returned from the SSL implementation. (remm)
- Skip OpenSSLConf with BoringSSL since it is unsupported. (remm)
- Align buffer reuse of the OpenSSLEngine for tomcat-native with the FFM code. (remm)
- Create the `HttpParser` in `Http11Processor` if it is not present on the `AbstractHttp11Protocol` to provide better lifecycle robustness for regular HTTP/1.1. The new behavior was introduced on a previous refactoring to improve HTTP/2 performance. (remm)
- `OpenSSLContext` will now throw a `KeyManagementException` if something is known to have gone wrong in the `init` method, which is the behavior documented by `javax.net.ssl.SSLContext.init`. This makes error handling more consistent. (remm)

#### Jasper

- 69399: Fix regression caused by the improvement 69333 which caused the tag `release` to be called when using tag pooling, and to be skipped when not using it. Patch submitted by Michal Sobkiewicz. (remm)
- 69381: Improve method lookup performance in expression language. When the required method has no arguments there is no need to consider casting or coercion and the method lookup process can be simplified. Based on pull request #770 by John Engebretson. (markt)
- 69382: Improve the performance of the JSP include action by re-using results of relatively expensive method calls in the generated code rather than repeating them. Patch provided by John Engebretson. (markt)
- 69398: Avoid unnecessary object allocation in `PageContextImpl`. Based on a suggestion by John Engebretson. (markt)
- 69406: When using `StringInterpreterEnum`, do not throw an `IllegalArgumentException` when an invalid `Enum` is encountered. Instead, resolve the value at runtime. Patch provided by John Engebretson. (markt)
- 69429: Optimise EL evaluation of method parameters for methods that do not accept any parameters. Patch provided by John Engebretson. (markt)

### 2024-10-09 Tomcat 11.0.0 (markt)

#### Catalina

- Ensure that `ServerAuthModule.initialize()` is called when a Jakarta Authentication module is configured via `registerServerAuthModule()`. (markt)
- Ensure that the Jakarta Authentication `CallbackHandler` only creates one `GenericPrincipal` in the `Subject`. (markt)
- If the Jakarta Authentication process fails with an Exception, explicitly set the HTTP response status to 500 as the `ServerAuthContext` may not have set it. (markt)
- When persisting the Jakarta Authentication provider configuration, create any necessary parent directories that don't already exist. (markt)
- Correct the logic used to detect errors when deleting temporary files associated with persisting the Jakarta Authentication provider configuration. (markt)
- When processing Jakarta Authentication callbacks, don't overwrite a Principal obtained from the `PasswordValidationCallback` with `null` if the `CallerPrincipalCallback` does not provide a Principal. (markt)
- Avoid store config backup loss when storing one configuration more than once per second. (remm)
- 69359: `WebdavServlet` duplicates `getRelativePath()` method from super class with incorrect Javadoc. (michaelo)
- 69360: Inconsistent `DELETE` behavior between `WebdavServlet` and `DefaultServlet`. (michaelo)
- Make `WebdavServlet` properly return the `Allow` header when deletion of a resource is not allowed. (michaelo)
- Add log warning if non wildcard mappings are used with the `WebdavServlet`. (remm)
- 69361: Ensure that the order of entires in a multi-status response to a WebDAV is consistent with the order in which resources were processed. (markt)
- 69362: Provide a better multi-status response when deleting a collection via WebDAV fails. Empty directories that cannot be deleted will now be included in the response. (markt)
- 69363: Use `getPathPrefix()` consistently in the WebDAV servlet to ensure that the correct path is used when the WebDAV servlet is mounted at a sub-path within the web application. (markt)

#### Coyote

- 69316: Ensure that `FastHttpDateFormat#getCurrentDate()` (used to generate Date headers for HTTP responses) generates the correct string for the given input. Prior to this change, the output may have wrong by one second in some cases. Pull request #751 provided by Chenjp. (markt)
- Request start time may not have been accurately recorded for HTTP/1.1 requests preceded by a large number of blank lines. (markt)
- Add `server` and `serverRemoveAppProvidedValues` to the list of attributes the HTTP/2 protocol will inherit from the HTTP/1.1 connector it is nested within. (markt)
- Avoid possible crashes when using Apache Tomcat Native, caused by destroying SSLContext objects through GC after APR has been terminated. (remm)
- Improve HTTP/2 handling of trailer fields for requests. Trailer fields no longer need to be recieved before the headers of the subsequent stream nor are trailer fields for an in progress stream swallowed if the Connector is paused before the trailer fields are received. (markt)
- Ensure the request and response are not recycled too soon for an HTTP/2 stream when a stream level error is detected during the processing of incoming HTTP/2 frames. This could lead to incorrect processing times appearing in the access log. (markt)

#### Jasper

- 69333: Remove unnecessary code from generated JSPs. (markt)
- 69338: Improve the performance of processing expressions that include AND or OR operations with more than two operands and expressions that use `not empty`. (markt)
- 69348: Reduce memory consumption in `ELContext` by using lazy initialization for the data structure used to track lambda arguments. (markt)

#### Web applications

- The manager webapp will now be able to access certificates again when OpenSSL is used. (remm)

### 2024-09-16 Tomcat 11.0.0-M26 (markt)

#### Coyote

- Fix 69320, a regression in the fix for 69302 that meant the HTTP/2 processing was likely to be broken for all clients once any client sent an HTTP/2 reset frame. (markt)

### 2024-09-10 Tomcat 11.0.0-M25 (markt)

#### Catalina

- Implement the recent clarification from the Jakarta Servlet project that if a content length is declared then once that many bytes have been written to the response, further writes should trigger an `IOException`. (markt)
- Improve performance of `ApplicationHttpRequest.parseParameters()`. Based on sample code and test cases provided by John Engebretson. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Correct a regression in the fix for non-blocking reads of chunked request bodies that caused `InputStream.available()` to return a non-zero value when there was no data to read. In some circumstances this could cause a blocking read to block waiting for more data rather than return the data it had already received. (markt)
- Add a new attribute `cookiesWithoutEquals` to the `Rfc6265CookieProcessor`. The default behaviour is unchanged. (markt)
- Ensure that Tomcat sends a TLS close_notify message after receiving one from the client when using the `OpenSSLImplementation`. (markt)
- 69301: Fix trailer headers replacing non-trailer headers when writing response headers to the access log. Based on a patch and test case provided by hypnoce. (markt)
- 69302: If an HTTP/2 client resets a stream before the request body is fully written, ensure that any `ReadListener` is notified via a call to `ReadListener.onErrror()`. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Switch the `TldScanner` back to logging detailed scan results at debug level rather than trace level. (markt)
- Simplify the implementation of `OptionalELResolver`. (markt)

#### WebSocket

- If a blocking message write exceeds the timeout, don't attempt the write again before throwing the exception. (markt)
- An Exception being thrown during message processing (e.g. in a method annotated with `@onMessage`) should not automatically cause the connection to close. The application should handle the exception and make the decision whether or not to close the connection. (markt)

#### Web applications

- Documentation. Align the logging configuration documentation with the current defaults. (markt)

#### jdbc-pool

- 69255: Correct a regression in the fix for 69206 that meant exceptions executing statements were wrapped in an `java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException` rather than the application seeing the original `SQLException`. Fixed by pull request #744 provided by Michael Clarke. (markt)
- 69279: Correct a regression in the fix for 69206 that meant that methods that previously returned a `null` `ResultSet` were returning a proxy with a null delegate. Fixed by pull request #745 provided by Huub de Beer. (markt)

#### Other

- Exclude the `tomcat-coyote-ffm.jar` from JAR scanning by default. (markt)
- Change the default log handler level to `ALL` so log messages are not dropped by default if a logger is configured to use trace (`FINEST`) level logging. (markt)
- Update Hamcrest to 3.0. (markt)
- Update EasyMock to 5.4.0. (markt)
- Update Byte Buddy to 1.15.0. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Correct regressions in the refactoring that added recycling of the coyote request and response to the HTTP/2 processing. (markt)

### not released Tomcat 11.0.0-M23 (markt)

#### Catalina

- Add support for RFC 8297 (Early Hints). Applications can use this feature by casting the `HttpServletResponse` to `org.apache.catalina.connector.Reponse` and then calling the method `void sendEarlyHints()`. This method will be added to the Servlet API (removing the need for the cast) in Servlet 6.2 onwards. (markt)
- 69214: Do not reject a CORS request that uses POST but does not include a `content-type` header. Tomcat now correctly processes this as a simple CORS request. Based on a patch suggested by thebluemountain. (markt)
- Refactor `SpnegoAuthenticator` so it uses `Subject.callAs()` rather than `Subject.doAs()` when the available. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Add FFM compatibility methods for LibreSSL support. Renegotiation is not supported at the moment. (remm)
- Add `org.apache.tomcat.util.openssl.LIBRARY_NAME` (specifies the name of the library to load) and `org.apache.tomcat.util.openssl.USE_SYSTEM_LOAD_LIBRARY` (set to `true` to use `System.loadLibrary` rather than the FFM library loading code) to configure the OpenSSL library loading using FFM. (remm)
- Add FFM compatibility methods for BoringSSL support. Renegotiation is not supported in many cases. (remm)
- Ensure that HTTP/2 stream input buffers are only created when there is a request body to be read. (markt)
- Refactor creation of HttpParser instances from the Processor level to the Protocol level since the parser configuration depends on the protocol and the parser is, otherwise, stateless. (markt)
- Align HTTP/2 with HTTP/1.1 and recycle the container internal request and response processing objects by default. This behaviour can be controlled via the new `discardRequestsAndResponses` attribute on the HTTP/2 upgrade protocol. (markt)

#### jdbc-pool

- 69206: Ensure statements returned from `Statement` methods `executeQuery()`, `getResultSet()` and `getGeneratedKeys()` are correctly wrapped before being returned to the caller. Based on pull request #742 provided by Michael Clarke.

- Add missing algorithm callback to the `JAASCallbackHandler`. (remm)
- Add the OpenSSL version number on the APR and OpenSSL status classes. (remm)
- 69131: Expand the implementation of the `filter` value of the Authenticator attribute `allowCorsPreflight`, so that it applies to all requests that match the configured URL patterns for the CORS filter, rather than only applying if the CORS filter is mapped to `/*`. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Improve the algorithm used to identify the IP address to use to unlock the acceptor thread when a Connector is listening on all local addresses. Interfaces that are configured for point to point connections or are not currently up are now skipped. (markt)
- Clean and log OpenSSL errors before processing of OpenSSL conf commands in the FFM code. (remm)
- 69121: Ensure that the `onComplete()` event is triggered if `AsyncListener.onError()` dispatches to a target that throws an exception. (markt)
- Following the trailer header field refactoring, `-1` is no longer an allowed value for `maxTrailerSize`. Adjust documentation accordingly. (remm)
- Move OpenSSL support using FFM to a separate JAR named `tomcat-coyote-ffm.jar` that advertises Java 22 in its manifest. (remm)
- Fix search for OpenSSL library for FFM on Mac OS so that `java.library.path` is searched. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Update the optimisation in `jakarta.el.ImportHandler` so it is aware of new classes added to the `java.lang` package in Java 23. (markt)
- Ensure that an exception in `toString()` still results in an `ELException` when an object is coerced to a String using `ExpressionFactory.coerceToType()`. (markt)
- Add support for specifying Java 24 (with the value `24`) as the compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with an Eclipse JDT compiler version that does not support these values, a warning will be logged and the default will used. (markt)
- 69135: When using include directives in a tag file packaged in a JAR file, ensure that context relative includes are processed correctly. (markt)
- 69135: When using include directives in a tag file packaged in a JAR file, ensure that file relative includes are processed correctly. (markt)
- 69135: When using include directives in a tag file packaged in a JAR file, ensure that file relative includes are are not permitted to access files outside of the `/META_INF/tags/` directory nor outside of the JAR file. (markt)

#### Web applications

- Ensure that static resources deployed via a JAR file remain accessible when the context is configured to use a bloom filter. Based on pull request #730 provided by bergander. (markt)
- Introduce reference counting so the `AprLifecycleListener` is more robust. This particularly targets more complex embedded configurations with multiple server instances with independent lifecycles where more than one server instance requires the `AprLifecycleListener`. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Fix OpenSSL FFM use of ERR_error_string with a 128 byte buffer, and use ERR_error_string_n instead. (remm)

#### Catalina

- Deprecate and remove `sessionCounter` (replaced by the addition of the active session count and the expired session count, as a reasonable approximation) and `duplicates` (which does not represent a possible event in current implementations) statistics from the session manager. (remm)
- 68890 Align output encoding of JSPs in the Manager webapp with the XML declarations in those same files. (schultz)
- Update Basic authentication to implement the requirements of RFC 7617 including the removal of the `trimCredentials` setting which is now hard-coded to `false`. (markt)
- Small performance optimization when logging cookies with no values. (schultz)
- Correct error handling for asynchronous requests. If the application performs an dispatch during `AsyncListener.onError()` the dispatch is now performed rather than completing the request using the error page mechanism. (markt)
- Re-factor ElapsedTimeElement in AbstractAccessLogValve to use a customizable style. (schultz)
- Add more timescale options to AccessLogValve and ExtendedAccessLogValve. Allow timescales to apply to "time-taken" token in ExtendedAccessLogValve. (schultz)

#### Coyote

- Add OpenSSL FFM classes to `tomcat-embed-core.jar`. (remm)
- Align non-secure and secure writes with NIO and skip the write attempt when there are no bytes to be written. (markt)
- Allow any positive value for `socket.unlockTimeout`. If a negative or zero value is configured, the default of `250ms` will be used. (mark)
- Reduce the time spent waiting for the connector to unlock. The previous default of 10s was noticeably too long for cases where the unlock has failed. The wait time is now 100ms plus twice `socket.unlockTimeout`. (markt)
- Ensure that the `onAllDataRead()` event is triggered when the request body uses chunked encoding and is read using non-blocking IO. (markt)
- 68934: Add debug logging in the latch object when exceeding `maxConnections`. (remm)
- Refactor trailer field handling to use a `MimeHeaders` instance to store trailer fields. (markt)
- Ensure that multiple instances of the same trailer field are handled correctly. (markt)
- Fix non-blocking reads of chunked request bodies. (markt)
- Refactor HTTP header parsing to use common parsing code. (markt)
- When an invalid HTTP response header was dropped, an off-by-one error meant that the first header in the response was also dropped. Fix based on pull request #710 by foremans. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Add support for specifying Java 23 (with the value `23`) as the compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with an Eclipse JDT compiler version that does not support these values, a warning will be logged and the default will used. (markt)

#### WebSocket

- 69844: Close the connection with a protocol error if the server sends masked frames. (markt)
- 68884: Reduce the write timeout when writing WebSocket close messages for abnormal closes. The timeout defaults to 50 milliseconds and may be controlled using the `org.apache.tomcat.websocket.ABNORMAL_SESSION_CLOSE_SEND_TIMEOUT` property in the user properties collection associated with the WebSocket session. (markt)

#### Web applications

- Examples: Improve performance of WebSocket chat application when multiple clients disconnect at the same time. (markt)
- Examples: Increase the number of previous messages displayed when using the WebSocket chat application. (markt)
- Examples: Improve performance of WebSocket snake application when multiple clients disconnect at the same time. (markt)

### 2024-04-16 Tomcat 11.0.0-M19 (remm)

#### Catalina

- Add `highConcurrencyStatus` attribute to the `SemaphoreValve` to optionally allow the valve to return an error status code to the client when a permit cannot be acquired from the semaphore. (remm)
- Add checking of the "age" of the running Tomcat instance since its build-date to the SecurityListener, and log a warning if the server is old. (schultz)
- When using the `AsyncContext`, throw an `IllegalStateException`, rather than allowing an `NullPointerException`, if an attempt is made to use the `AsyncContext` after it has been recycled. (markt)
- Add a default implementation for `HttpSession.getAccessor()` to align with the Servlet 6.1 API. (markt)
- Add the Jakarta EE 11 XML schemas and update Tomcat and included web applications to use them. (markt)
- Change the thread-safety mechanism for protecting StandardServer.services from a simple synchronized lock to a ReentrantReadWriteLock to allow multiple readers to operate simultaneously. Based upon a suggestion by Markus Wolfe. (schultz)
- Improve Service connectors, Container children and Service executors access sync using a ReentrantReadWriteLock. (remm)
- Improve handling of integer overflow if an attempt is made to upload a file via the Servlet API and the file is larger than `Integer.MAX_VALUE`. (markt)
- 68862: Handle possible response commit when processing read errors. (remm)

#### Coyote

- Add `threadsMaxIdleTime` attribute to the endpoint, to allow configuring the amount of time before an internal executor will scale back to the configured `minSpareThreads` size. (remm)
- Adjust the `Set-Cookie` header generated by the `Rfc6265CookieProcessor` so that attributes with a value of the empty string will be output as bare attribute names without an equals sign or value. This will simplify future support for similar new attributes by removing the need for special handling. (markt)
- Refactor the internal representation of the `HttpOnly` and `Secure` attributes to use the empty string as the value for consistency with the recent changes to `Set-Cookie` header generation. (markt)
- Do not generate the `Max-Age` attribute for `Set-Cookie` headers associated with cookies that have been configured with a `Max-Age` value of zero as RFC 6265 does not permit a value of zero in this case. (markt)
- Correct a regression in the support for user provided `SSLContext` instances that broke the `org.apache.catalina.security.TLSCertificateReloadListener`. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Handle the case where the JSP engine forwards a request/response to a Servlet that uses an `OutputStream` rather than a `Writer`. This was triggering an `IllegalStateException` on code paths where there was a subsequent attempt to obtain a `Writer`. (markt)
- Correctly handle the case where a tag library is packaged in a JAR file and the web application is deployed as a WAR file rather than an unpacked directory. (markt)
- Prevent the web application's ClassLoader from being pinned by the JSP compiler if an application uses a custom XMLInputFactory. Based upon a suggestion from Simon Niederberger. (schultz)

### 2024-03-14 Tomcat 11.0.0-M18 (markt)

#### General

- Reduce the minimum supported Java version to Java 17. (markt)

#### Catalina

- Minor performance improvement for building filter chains. Based on ideas from pull request #702 by Luke Miao. (remm)
- Align error handling for `Writer` and `OutputStream`. Ensure use of either once the response has been recycled triggers a `NullPointerException` provided that `discardFacades` is configured with the default value of `true`. (markt)
- 68692: The standard thread pool implementations that are configured using the `Executor` element now implement `ExecutorService` for better support NIO2. The `org.apache.catalina.Executor` interface now extends `ExecutorService`. (remm)
- 68495: When restoring a saved POST request after a successful FORM authentication, ensure that neither the URI, the query string nor the protocol are corrupted when restoring the request body. (markt)
- After forwarding a request, attempt to unwrap the response in order to suspend it, instead of simply closing it if it was wrapped. Add a new `suspendWrappedResponseAfterForward` boolean attribute on `Context` to control the bahavior, defaulting to `true`. (remm)
- 68721: Workaround a possible cause of duplicate class definitions when using `ClassFileTransformer`s and the transformation of a class also triggers the loading of the same class. (markt)
- The rewrite valve should not do a rewrite if the output is identical to the input. (remm)
- Add a new `valveSkip` (or `VS`) rule flag to the rewrite valve to allow skipping over the next valve in the Catalina pipeline. (remm)

#### Coyote

- Fix bad symbol lookup use in the OpenSSL FFM code. (remm)
- Improve the HTTP/2 stream prioritisation process. If a stream uses all of the connection windows and still has content to write, it will now be added to the backlog immediately rather than waiting until the write attempt for the remaining content. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Add method invocation support for `java.util.Optional` via the `jakarta.el.OptionalELResolver` to Tomcat's implementation of the Jakarta EL API to align with the latest proposals for the Jakarta EL 6.0 API. The property support has also been refined for greater consistency. (markt)
- The defaults for `compilerSourceVM` and `compilerTargetVM` have been updated to 17 to align with Java 17 being the minimum Java version required for Tomcat 11. (markt)

#### Cluster

### 2024-02-19 Tomcat 11.0.0-M17 (markt)

#### Catalina

- Implement `HttpSession.getAccessor()` which provides a mechanism for applications to interact with an `HttpSession` outside the standard Servlet processing of an HTTP request. This is expected to be especially useful with applications using the Jakarta WebSocket API. (markt)
- Correct JPMS and OSGi meta-data for `tomcat-embed-core.jar` by removing reference to `org.apache.catalina.ssi` package that is no longer included in the JAR. Based on pull request #684 by Jendrik Johannes. (markt)
- Fix ServiceBindingPropertySource so that trailing `\r\n` sequences are correctly removed from files containing property values when configured to do so. Bug identified by Coverity Scan. (markt)
- Add improvements to the CSRF prevention filter including the ability to skip adding nonces for resource name and subtree URL patterns. (schultz)
- Review usage of debug logging and downgrade trace or data dumping operations from debug level to trace. (remm)
- 68089: Further improve the performance of request attribute access for `ApplicationHttpRequest` and `ApplicationRequest`. (markt)
- 68559: Allow asynchronous error handling to write to the response after an error during asynchronous processing. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Setting a `null` value for a cookie attribute should remove the attribute. (markt)
- Optimize state handling for OpenSSL context callbacks with the FFM API. (remm)
- Make asynchronous error handling more robust. Ensure that once a connection is marked to be closed, further asynchronous processing cannot change that. (markt)
- Make asynchronous error handling more robust. Ensure that once the call to `AsyncListener.onError()` has returned to the container, only container threads can access the `AsyncContext`. This protects against various race conditions that would otherwise occur if application threads continued to access the `AsyncContext`.
- Review usage of debug logging and downgrade trace or data dumping operations from debug level to trace. In particular, most of the HTTP/2 debug logging has been changed to trace level. (remm)
- Add support for user provided `SSLContext` instances configured on `SSLHostConfigCertificate` instances. Based on pull request #673 provided by Hakan Altındağ. (markt)
- Partial fix for 68558: Cache the result of converting to `String` for request URI, HTTP header names and the request `Content-Type` value to improve performance by reducing repeated `byte[]` to `String` conversions. (markt)
- Improve error reporting to HTTP/2 clients for header processing errors by reporting problems at the end of the frame where the error was detected rather than at the end of the headers. (markt)
- Remove the remaining reference to a stream once the stream has been recycled. This makes the stream eligible for garbage collection earlier and thereby improves scalability. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Additional fixes to correctly support `length` as a read-only property of an array via the `ArrayELResolver`. (markt)
- 68546: Generate optimal size and types for JSP imports maps, as suggested by John Engebretson. (remm)

#### Coyote

- Refactor the `VirtualThreadExecutor` so that it can be used by the NIO2 connector which was using platform threads even when configured to use virtual threads. (markt)
- Correct a regression in the fix for 67675 that broke TLS key file parsing for PKCS#8 format keys that do not specify an explicit pseudo-random function and rely on the default. This typically affects keys generated by OpenSSL 1.0.2. (markt)
- Allow multiple operations with the same name on introspected mbeans, fixing a regression caused by the introduction of a second `addSslHostConfig` method. (remm)
- Relax the check that the HTTP Host header is consistent with the host used in the request line, if any, to make the check case insensitive since host names are case insensitive. (markt)
- 68348: Add support for the partitioned attribute for cookies including session cookies. (markt)

#### Jasper

- The defaults for `compilerSourceVM` and `compilerTargetVM` have been updated to 21 to align with Java 21 being the minimum Java version required for Tomcat 11. (markt)

#### Web Applications

#### Catalina

- Background processes should not be run concurrently with lifecycle operations of a container. (remm)
- Add support for the `jakarta.servlet.request.secure_protocol` request attribute that has been added in Jakarta Servlet 6.1. This replaces the now deprecated Tomcat specific request attribute `org.apache.tomcat.util.net.secure_protocol_version`. (markt)
- Align behaviour with the latest addition to the Servlet 6.1 specification that requires that all HTTP error dispatches use the GET method. (markt)
- Correct unintended escaping of XML in some WebDAV responses. The XML list of support locks when provided in response to a PROPFIND request was incorrectly XML escaped. (markt)
- 68227: Ensure that `AsyncListener.onComplete()` is called if `AsyncListener.onError()` calls `AsyncContext.dispatch()`. (markt)
- 68228: Use a 408 status code if a read timeout occurs during HTTP request processing. Includes a test case based on code provided by adwsingh. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Use Java code to load certificate chain when using OpenSSL through the FFM API. (remm)

#### Jasper

- 68119: Refactor the `CompositeELResolver` to improve performance during type conversion operations. (markt)

- Optionally allow ServiceBindingPropertySource to trim a trailing newline from a file containing a property-value. (schultz)
- Use Files.move instead of File.renameTo in the FarmWebDeployer to support a broader range of environments, and to give better information in the event of a failure. (schultz)
- 67793: Ensure the original session timeout is restored after FORM authentication if the user refreshes a page during the FORM authentication process. Based on a suggestion by Mircea Butmalai. (markt)
- 67926: `PEMFile` prints unidentifiable string representation of ASN.1 OIDs. (michaelo)
- 66875: Ensure that setting the request attribute `jakarta.servlet.error.exception` is not sufficient to trigger error handling for the current request and response. (markt)
- 68054: Avoid some file canonicalization calls introduced by the fix for 65433. (remm)
- 68089: Improve performance of request attribute access for `ApplicationHttpRequest` and `ApplicationRequest`. (markt)
- Use a 400 status code to report an error due to a bad request (e.g. an invalid trailer header) rather than a 500 status code. (markt)
- Ensure that an `IOException` during the reading of the request triggers always error handling, regardless of whether the application swallows the exception. (markt)

#### Coyote

- 66670: Add `SSLHostConfig#certificateKeyPasswordFile` and `SSLHostConfig#certificateKeystorePasswordFile`. (michaelo)
- When calling `SSLHostConfigCertificate.setCertificateKeystore(ks)`, automatically call `setCertificateKeystoreType(ks.getType())`. (markt)
- Add OpenSSL integration using the FFM API rather than Tomcat Native. OpenSSL support may be enabled by adding the `org.apache.catalina.core.OpenSSLLifecycleListener` listener on the `Server` element when using Java 22 (starting with preview build 20) or later. (remm)
- 67628: Clarify how the `ciphers` attribute of the `SSLHostConfig` is used. (markt)

### 2023-08-25 Tomcat 11.0.0-M11 (markt)

#### Catalina

- If an application or library sets both a non-500 error code and the `jakarta.servlet.error.exception` request attribute, use the provided error code during error page processing rather than assuming an error code of 500. (markt)
- Update code comments and Tomcat output to use MiB for 1024 * 1024 bytes and KiB for 1024 bytes rather than MB and kB. (martk)
- Update the HTTP parameter handling to align with the changes in the Jakarta Servlet 6.1 API Javadoc for the `ServletRequest` methods used to obtain request parameters. Invalid parameters and/or exceeding parameter size and/or quantity limits now trigger exceptions. As a consequence, the `FailedRequestFilter` has been removed. (markt)

- 66385: Correct a bug in HTTP/2 where a non-blocking read for a new frame with the NIO2 connector was incorrectly made using the read timeout leading to unexpected stream closure. (markt)

#### Jasper

- 66370: Change the default of the `org.apache.el.GET_CLASSLOADER_USE_PRIVILEGED` system property to `true` unless the EL library is running on Tomcat in which case the default remains `false` as the EL library is already called from within a privileged block and skipping the unnecessary privileged block improves performance. (markt)
- Add support for specifying Java 21 (with the value `21`) as the compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with an Eclipse JDT compiler version that does not support these values, a warning will be logged and the default will used. (markt)

- 66175: Change the default character set used by the `BasicAuthenticator` from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. (markt)
- 66209: Add a configuration option to allow bloom filters used to index JAR files to be retained for the lifetime of the web application. Prior to this addition, the indexes were always flushed by the periodic calls to `WebResourceRoot.gc()`. As part of this addition, configuration of archive indexing moves from `Context` to `WebResourceRoot`. Based on a patch provided by Rahul Jaisimha. (markt)
- 66330: Correct a regression introduced when fixing 62897 that meant any value configured for `skipMemoryLeakChecksOnJvmShutdown` on the `Context` was ignored and the default was always used. (markt)

- Refactor `WebappLoader` so it only has a runtime dependency on the migration tool for Jakarta EE if configured to use the converter as classes are loaded. (markt)
- Improve the behavior of the credential handler attribute that is set in the Servlet context so that it actually reflects what is used during authentication. (remm)
- 66359: Update javadoc for RemoteIpValve and RemoteIpFilter with correct `protocolHeader` default value of "X-Forwarded-Proto". (lihan)
- Add support for the new attribute for error dispatches `jakarta.servlet.error.query_string`. (markt)
- Update `ignoreAnnotation` attribute on `Context` to dissociate it from `metadata-complete`. (remm)

#### Coyote

- Correct the date format used with the expires attribute of HTTP cookies. A single space rather than a single dash should be used to separate the day, month and year components to be compliant with RFC 6265. (markt)
- Include the name of the current stream state in the error message when a stream is cancelled due to an attempt to write to the stream when it is in a state that does not permit writes. (markt)
- NIO writes never return -1 so refactor `CLOSED_NIO_CHANNEL` not to do so and remove checks for this return value. Based on #562 by tianshuang. (markt)
- Remove unnecessary code that exposed the `asyncTimeout` to components that never used it. (markt)
- Ensure that all `MessageBytes` conversions to byte arrays are valid for the configured character set and throw an exception if not. (markt)
- When an HTTP/2 stream was reset, the current active stream count was not reduced. If enough resets occurred on a connection, the current active stream count limit was reached and no new streams could be created on that connection. (markt)

#### Jasper

- 66294: Make the use of a privileged block to obtain the thread context class loader added to address 62080 optional and disabled by default. This is now controlled by the `org.apache.el.GET_CLASSLOADER_USE_PRIVILEGED` system property. (markt)
