Item Ordering:
Fixes having an issue number are sorted by their number, ascending.
There is no ordering by add/update/fix.
Other fixed issues are added to the end of the list, chronologically.
They eventually become mixed with the numbered issues. (I.e., numbered
issues do not "pop up" wrt. others).

<bug>59961</bug>: Add an option to the <code>StandardJarScanner</code>

class path entries. (markt)

<bug>60013</bug>: Refactor the previous fix to align the behaviour of
the Rewrite Valve with mod_rewrite. As part of this, provide an
implementation for the <code>B</code> and <code>NE</code> flags and
improve the handling for the <code>QSA</code> flag. Includes multiple
test cases by Santhana Preethiand a patch by Tiago Oliveira. (markt)

<fix>
<bug>60087</bug>: Refactor the web resources handling to use the Tomcat
specific <code>war:file:...</code> URL protocol to refer to WAR files
and their contents rather than the standard <code>jar:file:...</code>
form since some components of the JRE, such as JAR verification, give
unexpected results when the standard form is used. A side-effect of the
refactoring is that when using packed WARs, it is now possible to
reference a WAR and/or specific JARs within a WAR in the security policy
file used when running under a <code>SecurityManager</code>. (markt)

Correctly handle a call to <code>AsyncContext.complete()</code> 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
<code>complete()</code> or <code>dispatch()</code> made from a
non-container thread before the container initiated thread that called
<code>startAsync()</code> completes must be delayed until the container
initiated thread has completed. Rather than implementing this by
