- <p>
- This document attempts to convey the current status of Tomcat development
- in "big picture" terms. This is not the place to check if an individual
- bug report has been addressed or when an individual feature will be available.
- </p>
- <p>
- This page is updated roughly once per every couple of Tomcat minor releases,
- so for day-to-day status you should check the tomcat-user and tomcat-dev mailing
- lists. You can always inquire there as to the availability or status of a
- specific feature or component.
- </p>

- <section name="Current Status Summary">
- <p>
- <b>Tomcat 5.0.27</b> was released on June 17th, 2004. At that time, the TOMCAT_5_0
- branch was tagged in CVS, and work on Tomcat 5.5 began. We have now had several
- Tomcat 5.5 releases, including a couple of stable ones. Accordingly, Tomcat 5.5
- is now the focus on work. Tomcat 5.0 is in maintenance mode and its releases
- will become less and less frequent.
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Tomcat 5.5</b> has several major goals. They are discussed in the tomcat-dev
- mailing list's "5.next" thread:
- <a href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-dev&w=2&r=1&s=5.next&q=b">MARC</a>.
- The status of some of these items is detailed below. Once 5.5 releases are
- available, please refer to the Changelog accompanying each release for detailed
- changes, enhancements, and fixes.
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Tomcat 4.1.x</b> is no longer actively developed. It is maintained to address
- only showstopper, security, and Servlet Specification compliance issues. Maintenance
- for Tomcat 4.1.x will likely cease once a stable release or two of Tomcat 5.5 are out.
- Users of Tomcat 4.1.x are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest stable Tomcat
- 5.0 release.
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Tomcat 4.0.x</b> is relatively old, and not actively maintained or supported.
- It is strongly recommended that users of these releases upgrade to the latest
- stable Tomcat 5.0 release or at least the latest stable Tomcat 4.1 release.
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Tomcat 3.3.x</b> is in roughly the same maintenance mode as Tomcat 4.1.x.
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Tomcat 3.2</b> and earlier are in roughly the same support state as Tomcat 4.0.x.
- Users should upgrade to Tomcat 3.3.x or the latest stable Tomcat 5.0.x.
- </p>

- <section name="How to read the report">
-
- <p>
- The columns in this report contain the following information:
- <ul>
- <li><b>Priority</b> - A sense of how important it is to address this
- issue in the short term.</li>
- <li><b>Action Item</b> - Concise description of the action item
- to be completed. Where relevant, Java package names of the
- primary classes involved are listed in [square brackets]</li>
- <li><b>Volunteers</b> - Login of those developers who
- have volunteered to assist in the design, implementation, testing, and
- documentation of this action item's changes to Tomcat.</li>
- </ul>
- Developers can nominate
- themselves to work on particular action items by asking a Committer to
- add their name address to those items. The developers
- working on each item should discuss and agree upon the approach to be
- used for implementing the item's changes to the project source code
- and documentation, prior to completing those changes. Such discussions
- should take place on the tomcat-dev mailing list so that everyone can
- stay apprised of what is going on, or chime in if they want to
- contribute ideas and suggestions.
