| <section name="Preface"> |
| <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. |

| <fix> |
| Fix memory leak when Security Manager is turned on. (jfarcand) |
| </fix> |
| <fix> |
| When checking status codes for error handling, only check if |

| </fix> |
| <fix> |
| Digester handling fixes: always call reset in a finally block after using a digester. (remm) |
| </fix> |
| <update> |

| </update> |
| <update> |

| <update> |
| Allow customized server header for Standalone. (funkman) |

| <add> |
| Add a master slave thread pool based on the code from Tomcat 4.0. It is less exotic than the |
| default one, and might fare better on some picky systems, such as Redhat 9. The two threadpools |
| will likely be removed once we use the Java 5 API, although more investigation is needed. (remm) |
| </add> |

| Removed usage of org.apache.catalina.Logger, increased usage of commons-logging everywhere. (remm) |

| Refactored classloader code to better handle JAR and general resource locking. (remm) |
