version
Tomcat 5.5.23 (fhanik)
Catalina
fix 41608 Make log levels consistent when Servlet.service() throws an exception. (markt)
fix 41666 Correct handling of boundary conditions for If-Unmodified-Since and If-Modified-Since headers. Patch provided by Suzuki Yuichiro. (markt)
fix 41674 Fix error messages when parsing context.xml that incorrectly referred to web.xml. (markt)
fix 41739 Correct handling of servlets with a load-on-startup value of zero. These are now the first servlets to be started. (markt)
Coyote
fix Requests with multiple content-length headers are now rejected. (markt)
Tomcat 5.5.22 (fhanik)
General
fix Fix regression in build that prevented connectors from building. (markt)
Tomcat 5.5.21 (fhanik)
Catalina
fix 41401: StandardService.getConnectorNames() return array of Connector JMX objectnames. (pero)
fix 29727: If env-entry values in web.xml are changed then ensure new values are applied when context is reloaded. (markt)
fix 34956: Ensure request and response objects passed to a RequestDispatcher meet the requirements of SRV.8.2 and SRV.14.2.5.1. This is disabled by default. The Java option -Dorg.apache.catalina.STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE=true is required to enable this test. (markt)
fix 36274: When including static content with the DefaultServlet also treat content types ending in xml as text. (markt)
fix 36976: Don't use CATALINA_OPTS when stopping Tomcat. This allows options for starting and stopping to be set on JAVA_OPTS and options for starting only to be set on CATALINA_OPTS. Without this fix, some startup options (eg the port for remote JMX) would cause stop to fail. Based on a fix suggested by Michael Vorburger. (markt)
fix 37070: Update mbean name documentation to include the StandardWrapper. (markt)
fix 37356: Ensure sessions time out correctly. This has been fixed by removing the accessCount feature by default. This feature prevents the session from timing out whilst requests that last longer than the session time out are being processed. This feature is enabled by setting the Java option -Dorg.apache.catalina.STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE=true The feature is now implemented with synchronization which addresses the thread safety issues associated with the original bug report. (markt)
fix 37439: Update documentation for Engine component to add the requirement that the name must be unique. (markt)
fix 37458: Add syncs to the WebappClassloader to address rare issues when multiple threads attempt to load the same class concurrently. (markt)
fix 37509: Do not remove whitespace from the end of values defined in logging.properties files. (markt)
fix 38198: Add reference to Context documentation from Host documentation that explains how Context name is obtained from the Context filename. (markt)

fix 39436: Correct MIME type for SVG. (markt)
fix 39627: JULI no longer ignores a ".level=XXX" directive in logging.properties. Patch provided by Roger Keays and Richard Fearn. (markt)
fix 39724: Removing the last valve from a pipeline did not return the pipeline to the original state. Patch provided by David Gagon. (markt)
fix 40367: Update JK auto configuration documentation to clarify that workers.properties must also exist. (markt)
fix 40524: HttpServletRequest.getAuthType() now returns CLIENT_CERT rather than CLIENT-CERT for certificate authentication as per the spec. Note that web.xml continues to use CLIENT-CERT to specify the certificate authentication should be used. (markt)
fix 40526: Add support for JPDA_OPTS to catalina.bat and add a JPDA_SUSPEND environment variable to both startup scripts. Patch provided by Kurt Roy. (markt)
fix 40528: Add missing message localisations as provided by Ben Clifford. (markt)
