Fix: 63682: Fix a potential hang when using the asynchronous Servlet API to write the response body and the stream and/or connection window reaches 0 bytes in size. (markt)
Fix: 63690: Use the average of the current and previous sizes when calculating overhead for HTTP/2 DATA and WINDOW_UPDATE frames to avoid false positives as a result of client side buffering behaviour that causes a small percentage of non-final DATA frames to be smaller than expected. (markt)
Fix: 63706: Avoid NPE accessing https port with plaintext. (remm)
Fix: Correct typos in the names of the configuration attributes overheadDataThreshold and overheadWindowUpdateThreshold. (markt)
Fix: If the HTTP/2 connection requires an initial window size larger than the default, send a WINDOW_UPDATE to increase the flow control window for the connection so that the initial size of the flow control window for the connection is consistent with the increased value. (markt)

Web applications
Fix: 63597: Update the custom 404 error page for the Host Manager to take account of previous refactoring so that the page is used for 404 errors rather than falling back to the default error pagebat so that when installing a Windows service, by default, it changes the name of the executables used by the Windows service to match the service name. This makes the installation behaviour consistent with the Windows installer. The original executable nhe renaming can be disabled by using the new --no-rename option after the service name. (markt)
Update: Switch from Checkstyle to the JRE6 backport and update to version 8.22. This allows Tomcat 8.5 to use the newer Checkstyle releases while still buildi digital signature for the Windows installer now uses SHA-256 for hashes. (markt)
Update: 63310: Update to Commons Daemon 1.2.0. This provides improved support for Java 11. This also changes the user configured by the Windows installer for the Windows seer privileged Local Service. (markt)
Fix: 55969: Tighten up the security of the Apache Tomcat installation created by the Windows installer. Change the default shutdown port used by the Windows installer from 8005 to -1 (disabled). Limit access to the cho local administrators, Local System and Local Service. (markt)
Add: 63285: Add an option to service.bat so that when installing a Windows service, the name of the executables used by the Windows service may be changed to match the service name. This maksistent with the Windows installer. The original executable names will be restored when the Windows service is removed. The renaming can be enabled by using the new --rename option after the service name. (markt)
Fix: 63567: Restore the passing of $LOGGIsh when calling stop. (markt)
Update: Update the internal fork of Commons Codec to 3ebef4a (2018-08-01) to pick up the fix for CODEC-134. (markt)
