Changelog:
Tomcat 8.0.53 (violetagg)
Catalina
Fix: Treat the <mapped-name> element of a <env-entry> in web.xml in the same way as the mappedName element of the equivalent @Resource annotation. Both now attempt to set the mappedName property of the resource. (markt)
Fix: Correct the processing of resources with <injection-target>s defined in web.xml. First look for a match using JavaBean property names and then, only if a match is not found, look for a match using fields. (markt)
Fix: When restoring a saved request with a request body after FORM authentication, ensure that calls to the HttpServletRequest methods getRequestURI(), getQueryString() and getProtocol() are not corrupted by the processing of the saved request body. (markt)
Fix: JNDI resources that are defined with injection targets but no value are now treated as if the resource is not defined. (markt)
Fix: Ensure that JNDI names used for <lookup-name> entries in web.xml and for lookup elements of @Resource annotations specify a name with an explicit java: namespace. (markt)
Code: Refactor the org.apache.naming package to reduce duplicate code. Duplicate code identified by the Simian tool. (markt)
Fix: 50019: Add support for <lookup-name>. Based on a patch by Gurkan Erdogdu. (markt)

Fix: Correctly handle a call to AsyncContext.complete() from a non-container thread when non-blocking I/O is being used. (markt)
Add: Refactor the code that implements the requirement that a call to complete() or dispatch() made from a non-container thread before the container initiated thread that called startAsync() completes must be delayed until the container initiated thread has completed. Rather than implementing this by blocking the non-container thread, extend the internal state machine to track this. This removes the possibility that blocking the non-container thread could trigger a deadlock. (markt)

Huge number of fixes listed at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/changelog.html
Highlights of fixes:
* Fix: RMI Target related memory leaks are avoidable which makes them
an application bug that needs to be fixed rather than a JRE bug to
work around. Therefore, start logging RMI Target related memory
leaks on web application stop. Add an option that controls if the
check for these leaks is made. Log a warning if running on Java 9
with this check enabled but without the command line option it
requires. (markt)
* Fix: Ensure NPE will not be thrown during deployment when scanning
jar files without MANIFEST.MF file. (violetagg)
* Fix: 59604: Correct the assumption made in the URL decoding that
the default platform encoding is always compatible with ISO-8859-1.
This assumption is not always valid, e.g. on z/OS. (markt)
* Fix: 59608: Skip over any invalid Class-Path attribute from JAR
manifests. Log errors at debug level due to many bad libraries.
(remm)
* Fix: Ensure that requests with HTTP method names that are not
tokens (as required by RFC 7231) are rejected with a 400 response.
(markt)
* Fix: When an asynchronous request is processed by the AJP
connector, ensure that request processing has fully completed
before starting the next request. (markt)
* Fix: If an async dispatch results in the completion of request
processing, ensure that any remaining request body is swallowed
before starting the processing of the next request else the
remaining body may be read as the start of the next request leading
to a 400 response. (markt)
* Fix: Fix a memory leak in the expression language implementation
that caused the class loader of the first web application to use
expressions to be pinned in memory. (markt)
* Fix: Correctly configure the base path for a resources directory
provided by an expanded JAR file. Patch provided by hengyunabc.
(markt)
* Fix: 59317: Ensure that HttpServletRequest.getRequestURI() returns
an encoded URI rather than a decoded URI after a dispatch. (markt)
Highlights of non-fixes:
* Update: Update the internal fork of Commons DBCP 2 to r1743696
(2.1.1 plus additional fixes). (markt)
* Update: Update the internal fork of Commons Pool 2 to r1743697
(2.4.2 plus additional fixes). (markt)
* Update: Update the internal fork of Commons File Upload to r1743698
(1.3.1 plus additional fixes). (markt)
* Update: Update the option code coverage tool Cobertura to 2.1.1 so
it is easier to compare the change in lines of code between 8.0.x
and 9.0.x. (markt)
* Add: Add a new environment variable JSSE_OPTS that is intended to
be used to pass JVM wide configuration to the JSSE implementation.
The default value is -Djdk.tls.ephemeralDHKeySize=2048 which
protects against weak Diffie-Hellman keys with Java 8. (markt)
* Update: Exclude ciphers that use RSA keys from the default cipher
list since they do not support forward secrecy. (markt)
* Update: Update the packaged version of the Tomcat Native Library to
1.2.7 to pick up the Windows binaries that are based on OpenSSL
1.0.2h and APR 1.5.2. (markt)

Changelog:
The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version
8.0.23 of Apache Tomcat. Apache Tomcat 8.0.23 includes a numerous fixes
for issues identified in 8.0.22 as well as a number of other enhancements
and changes. The notable changes since 8.0.22 include:
Fixed corruption issues with NIO2 and TLS
Added a workaround for SPNEGO authentication and a JRE regression in Java 8 update 40 onwards
Added the new HttpHeaderSecurityFilter
Changelog:
Change the format of the Tomcat specific URLs for resources inside JARs that are in turn packed in a WAR. The ^/ sequence has been replaced by */ so that the resulting URLs are compliant with RFC 2396 and do not trigger exceptions when converted to URIs. The old format will continue to be accepted.
Allow logging of the remote port in the access log using the format pattern %{remote}p.
When checking last modified times as part of the automatic deployment process, account for the fact that File.lastModified() has a resolution of one second to ensure that if a file has been modified within the last second, the latest version of the file is always used. Note that a side-effect of this change is that files with modification times in the future are treated as if they are unmodified.
Align redeploy resource modification checking with reload modification checking so that now, in both cases, a change in modification time rather than an increase in modification time is used to determine if the resource has changed.
Note: There is a known issue with NIO2 and SSL/TLS in this and previous releases that can result in dropped connections. It is not recommended that NIO2 is used in production with SSL/TLS until this issue is resolved (the fix is expected in 8.0.23).
Apache Tomcat is an implementation of the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages
technologies. The Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages specifications are
developed under the Java Community Process.
Apache Tomcat is developed in an open and participatory environment and
released under the Apache Software License. Apache Tomcat is intended to
be a collaboration of the best-of-breed developers from around the world.
We invite you to participate in this open development project.
Apache Tomcat powers numerous large-scale, mission-critical web applications
across a diverse range of industries and organizations.
This package tracks 8.x release branch.
