<p>Something to shout about this Christmas, TomEE 1.7.3 is here! This is a maintenance release that fixes several issues and improvements. This version is still shipped upon Apache Tomcat 7.0.65.</p>

<p>Please note that the TomEE 1.7.3 drop in WAR file will not work on Apache Tomcat 8. If you are interested in a Tomcat 8.x version then please feel free to check out and <a href="http://tomee.apache.org/contribute.html">contribute to the developer branch</a> - We are always interested in any help from the community that we can get.</p>
