Tomcat 5.0.18 Released
Download or read the Release Notes. You know what bugs me about this release? The release notes suck! There's no changelog - what bugs got fixed, which ones didn't? Any new features? I suppose I could go crawling around their bug tracker and find out, but isn't this the kind of information you'd like to see with the release? Should I upgrade? Why should I upgrade - is something broke in 5.0.16 that's fixed in 5.0.18? Are there memory leaks that got fixed?
The only reason I develop on 4.1.29 these days is because my Remember Me feature works on 4.1.x, but not on 5.0.x. I could make it work on 5.0.x, but it wouldn't be as secure. I hope to implement Charles' recommended cookie strategy and then go for 5.0.x as my development platform, but that'll be a few more days.
On another note, I've implemented the Tomcat Ant tasks in AppFuse and I must say, these things are nice. The main advantage is speed, which all developers love.
