| <p> |
| This is the Changelog for Tomcat 5.5.x, which was branched based on Tomcat 5.0.27. |
| For changes in Tomcat version 5.0.x, which preceded version 5.5.0, please see |
| <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/changelog.html">The |
| Tomcat 5.0.x Changelog</a>. As maintenance releases are cut on the 5.0.x branch, |
| most fixes will be ported into a 5.5.x release and noted both here and in the |
| above Changelog. However, bugs fixed in Tomcat 5.0.28 and earlier are noted |
| only in the above changelog. |

| <changelog> |
| <update> |
| Many updated and fixed JavaDocs. (yoavs) |
| </update> |
| <update> |
| Designed and tested Tomcat on J2SE 5.0 (aka JDK 1.5). (everyone) |
| </update> |
| <update> |
| Bundled Eclipse JDT (new dependency) to allow Tomcat to run on a JRE only, i.e. no JDK required. (remm) |
| </update> |
| <update> |
| Repackage commons-dbcp and its dependencies as a sigle smaller WAR, with renamed packages. (remm) |
| </update> |
| <update> |
| Removed dependencies on commons-digester, commons-beanutils, and commons-collections. |
| The relevant digester functionality is now merged in tomcat-util. (remm) |
| </update> |
| </changelog> |
| </subsection> |
| |
| <subsection name="Catalina"> |
| <changelog> |
| <update> |
| Removed usage of org.apache.catalina.Logger, increased usage of commons-logging everywhere. (remm) |
| </update> |
| <update> |
| Refactored classloader code to better handle JAR and general resource locking. (remm) |
| </update> |
| <update> |
| Written JMX-related code to play nicely with J2SE 5.0 built-in JMX abilities. (remm, costin) |
| </update> |
| <update> |
| Extensively profiled and optimized the server startup performance as well as the request mapping and processing pipeline. (remm) |
| </update> |
| <update> |
| The container will now always process a /META-INF/context.xml resource, unless the webapp has a specified external context file. (remm) |
| </update> |
| <update> |
| New default configuration mechanism for web applications, replacing DefaultContext. This uses a |
| shared context file located in conf/context.xml. (remm) |
| </update> |
| <update> |
| Revamped deployer, alloying full hotdeploy (note: on Windows, this requires the anti file locking |
| features). (remm) |
| </update> |
| <update> |
| Remove verbosity from the JNDI resources configuration, by allowing arbitrary attributes on the Resource element. (remm) |
| </update> |

| <subsection name="Coyote"> |

| <subsection name="Jasper"> |
| <changelog> |
| <update> |
| Eclipse JDT is now the default Java compiler in Jasper. Source dependencies are now loaded from |
| the container classloader, and compilation times are much faster. (remm) |
| </update> |
| <update> |
| Jasper development mode should now have acceptable performance for heavily accessed pages. |
| Precompiling JSPs is still significantly more efficient, however. (remm) |
