Apache Tomcat 8 (8.5.47) - Changelog

## Changelog

### Tomcat 8.5.47 (markt)

#### Coyote

- Use URL safe base 64 encoding rather than standard base 64 encoding when generating or parsing the `HTTP2-Settings` header as part of an HTTP upgrade to `h2c` as required by RFC 7540. (markt)
- 63765: NIO2 should try to unwrap after TLS handshake to avoid edge cases. (remm)
- 63766: Ensure Processor objects are recycled when processing an HTTP upgrade connection that terminates before processing switches to the Processor for the upgraded protocol. (markt)

#### Jasper

- 63781: When performing various checks related to the visibility of classes, fields an methods in the EL implementation, also check that the containing modeul has been exported. (markt)

#### Web Socket

- 63753: Ensure that the `Host` header in a Web Socket HTTP upgrade request only contains a port if a non-default port is being used. (markt)
- When running on Java 9 and above, don't attempt to instantiate WebSocket Endpoints found in modules that are not exported. (markt)

#### Web Applications

- Add Javadoc for the Common Annotations API implementation. (markt)

#### jdbc-pool

- When connections are validated without an explicit validation query, ensure that any transactions opened by the validation process are committed. Patch provided by Pascal Davoust. (markt)

#### Other

- Deprecate `org.apache.tomcat.util.compat.TLS`. Its functionality was only used for unit tests in `org.apache.tomcat.util.net.TesterSupport` and has been moved there. (rjung)
- 63759: When installing Tomcat with the Windows installer, grant sufficient privileges to enable the uninstaller to execute when user account control is active. (markt)
- Use a build property to define the minimum supported Java version and use that build property to reduce the number of edits required to update the minimum supported Java version. (markt)
- 63767: Update to Commons Daemon 1.2.2. This corrects a regression in Commons Daemon 1.2.0 and 1.2.1 that caused the Windows Service to crash on start when running on an operating system that had not been fully updated. (markt)

### 2019-09-19 Tomcat 8.5.46 (markt)

#### Catalina

- 63684: `Wrapper` never passed to `RealmBase.hasRole()` for given security constraints. (michaelo)
- Avoid a potential `NullPointerException` on Service stop if a Service is embedded directly (i.e. with no Server) in an application and JNDI is enabled. Patch provided by S. Ali Tokmen. (markt)
- Add a new `PropertySource` implementation, `EnvironmentPropertySource`, that can be used to do property replacement in configuration files with environment variables. Based on a pull request provided by Thomas Meyer. (markt)

#### Coyote

- 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)
- 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)
- 63706: Avoid NPE accessing https port with plaintext. (remm)
- Correct typos in the names of the configuration attributes `overheadDataThreshold` and `overheadWindowUpdateThreshold`. (markt)
- 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)
- 63710: When using HTTP/2, ensure that a `content-length` header is not set for those responses with status codes that do not permit one. (markt)
- 63737: Correct various issues when parsing the `accept-encoding` header to determine if gzip encoding is supported including only parsing the first header found. (markt)

#### Web applications

- Correct the source code links on the index page for the ROOT web application to point to Git rather than Subversion. (markt)
- Fix various issues with the Javadoc generated for the documentation web application to enable release builds to be built with Java 10 onwards. (markt)

- 62140: Additional usage documentation in comments for `catalina.[bat|sh]`. (markt)
- Fix `JSSE_OPTS` quoting in `catalina.bat`. Contributed by Peter Uhnak. (fschumacher)
- 63625: Update to Commons Daemon 1.2.1. This corrects several regressions in Commons Daemon 1.2.1, most notably the Windows Service crashing on start when using 32-bit JVMs. (markt)
- 63689: Correct a regression in the fix for 63285 that meant that when installing a service, the service display name was not set. (markt)
- When performing a silent install with the Windows Installer, ensure that the registry entires are added to the 64-bit registry when using a 64-bit JVM. (markt)
- Remove unused i18n messages and associated translations. Patch provided by KangZhiDong. (markt)

### 2019-08-21 Tomcat 8.5.45 (markt)

### not released Tomcat 8.5.44 (markt)

#### Catalina

- 62258: Don't trigger the standard error page mechanism when the error has caused the connection to the client to be closed as no-one will ever see the error page. (markt)
- 62496: Add option to write auth information (remote user/auth type) to response headers. (michaelo)
- 51497: Add an option, `ipv6Canonical`, to the `AccessLogValve` that causes IPv6 addresses to be output in canonical form defined by RFC 5952. (ognjen/markt)

- 63550: Only try the `alternateURL` in the `JNDIRealm` if one has been specified. (markt)
- 63556: Mark request as forwarded in RemoteIpValve and RemoteIpFilter (michaelo)
- 63579: Correct parsing of malformed OPTIONS requests and reject them with a 400 response rather than triggering an internal error that results in a 500 response. (markt)
- 63608: Align the implementation of the negative match feature for patterns used with the `RewriteValve` with the description in the documentation. (markt)
- 63627: Implement more fine-grained handling in `RealmBase.authenticate(GSSContext, boolean)`. (michaelo)

- Correct parsing of invalid host names that contain bytes in the range 128 to 255 and reject them with a 400 response rather than triggering an internal error that results in a 500 response. (markt)
- 63571: Allow users to configure infinite TLS session caches and/or timeouts. (markt)
- 63578: Improve handling of invalid requests so that 400 responses are returned to the client rather than 500 responses. (markt)
- Fix h2spec test suite failure. It is an error if a Huffman encoded string literal contains the EOS symbol. (jfclere)
- Connections that fail the TLS handshake will now appear in the access logs with a 400 status code. (markt)
- Timeouts for HTTP/2 connections were not always correctly handled leaving some connections open for longer than expected. (markt)
- Expand the HTTP/2 excessive overhead protection to cover various forms of abusive client behaviour and close the connection if any such behaviour is detected. (markt)
- Fix a crash on shutdown with the APR/native connector when a blocking I/O operation was still in progress when the connector stopped. (markt)

#### Web applications

- 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 page. (markt)

#### Other

- 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 chosen installation directory to local administrators, Local System and Local Service. (markt)
- 62696: The digital signature for the Windows installer now uses SHA-256 for hashes. (markt)
- 63285: Modify `service.bat` 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 names will be restored when the Windows service is removed. The renaming can be disabled by using the new `--no-rename` option after the service name. (markt)
- 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 building with Java 7. (markt)
- 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 makes the installation behaviour consistent 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)
- 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 service from `Local System` to the lower privileged `Local Service`. (markt)
- 63567: Restore the passing of `$LOGGING_MANAGER` to the jvm in `catalina.sh` when calling `stop`. (markt)
- Update the internal fork of Commons Codec to 3ebef4a (2018-08-01) to pick up the fix for CODEC-134. (markt)
- Update the internal fork of Commons Pool2 to 796e32d (2018-08-01) to pick up the changes Commons Pool2 2.7.0. (markt)
- Update the internal fork of Commons DBCP2 to 87d9e3a (2018-08-01) to pick up the changes Commons DBCP2 2.7.0 and DBCP-555. (markt)
- 63648: Update the test TLS keys and certificates used in the test suite to replace the keys and certificates that are about to expire. (markt)

### 2019-07-09 Tomcat 8.5.43 (markt)

#### Catalina

- Modify the Default and WebDAV Servlets so that a 405 status code is returned for `PUT` and `DELETE` requests when disabled via the `readonly` initialisation parameter.
- Align the contents of the `Allow` header with the response code for the Default and WebDAV Servlets. For any given resource a method that returns a 405 status code will not be listed in the `Allow` header and a method listed in the `Allow` header will not return a 405 status code. (markt)
- When using WebDAV to copy a file resource to a destination that requires a collection to be overwritten, ensure that the operation succeeds rather than fails (with a 500 response). This enables Tomcat to pass two additional tests from the Litmus WebDAV test suite. (markt)
- 49464: Improve the Default Servlet's handling of static files when the file encoding is not compatible with the required response encoding. (markt)
- Fix typo in UTF-32LE charset name. Patch by zhanhb vi Github. (fschumacher)
- 58590: Add the ability for a UserDatabase to monitor the backing XML file for changes and reload the source file if a change in the last modified time is detected. This is enabled by default meaning that changes to `$CATALINA_BASE/conf/tomcat-users.xml` will now take effect a short time after the file is saved. (markt)
- Improve parsing of Range request headers. (markt)
- Range headers that specify a range unit Tomcat does not recognise should be ignored rather than triggering a 416 response. Based on a pull request by zhanhb. (markt)
- When comparing a date from a `If-Range` header, an exact match is required. Based on a pull request by zhanhb. (markt)
- Add an option to the default servlet to disable processing of PUT requests with Content-Range headers as partial PUTs. The default behaviour (processing as partial PUT) is unchanged. Based on a pull request by zhanhb. (markt)
- Improve parsing of Content-Range headers. (markt)
- Ensure that the HEAD response is consistent with the GET response when `HttpServlet` is relied upon to generate the HEAD response and the GET response uses chunking. (markt)
- Update the recommended minimum Tomcat Native version to 1.2.23. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Avoid a potential hang when a client connects using TLS 1.0 to a Tomcat HTTPS connector configured to use NIO or NIO with OpenSSL 1.1.1 or later. (markt)
- Once a URI is identified as invalid don't attempt to process it further. Based on a PR by Alex Repert. (markt)
- Fix to avoid the possibility of long poll times for individual pollers when using multiple pollers with APR. (markt)
- Refactor the fix for 63205 so it only applies when using PKCS12 keystores as regressions have been reported with some other keystore types. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Include file names in error messages if SMAP processor is unable to delete or rename a class file during SMAP generation. (markt)

#### WebSocket

- 63521: As required by the WebSocket specification, if a POJO that is deployed as a result of the SCI scan for annotated POJOs is subsequently deployed via the programmatic API ignore the programmatic deployment. (markt)

#### Other

- Switch i18n message files to use UTF-8 and convert to ASCII at build time. (markt)
- 63523: Restore SSLUtilBase methods as protected to preserve compatibility. (remm)
- Switch the check for terminal availability to test for stdin as using stdout does not work when output is piped to another process. Patch provided by Radosław Józwik. (markt)

### 2019-06-07 Tomcat 8.5.42 (markt)

#### Catalina

- 57287: Add file sorting to DefaultServlet (schultz)
- Ensure that the default servlet reads the entire global XSLT file if one is defined. Identified by Coverity Scan. (markt)
- Avoid potential `NullPointerException` when generating an HTTP `Allow` header. Identified by Coverity Scan. (markt)
- Remove any fragment included in the target path used to obtain a `RequestDispatcher`. The requested target path is logged as a warning since this is an application error. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Add additional NIO2 style read and write methods closer to core NIO2, for possible use with an asynchronous workflow like CompletableFuture. (remm)
- Avoid useless exception wrapping in async IO. (remm)
- 63412: Security manager failure when using the async IO API from a webapp. (remm)
- Fix concurrency issue that lead to incorrect HTTP/2 connection timeout. (remm/markt)
- Reduce the default for `maxConcurrentStreams` on the `Http2Protocol` from 200 to 100 to align with typical defaults for HTTP/2 implementations. (markt)
- Reduce the default HTTP/2 header list size from 4GB to 32kB to align with typical HTTP/2 implementations. (markt)
- Add support for same-site cookie attribute. Patch provided by John Kelly. (markt)
- Correct a bug in the stream flushing code that could lead to multiple threads processing the stream concurrently which in turn could cause errors processing the stream. (markt)

#### Cluster

- 62841: Refactor the `DeltaRequest` serialization to reduce the window during which the `DeltaSession` is locked and to remove a potential cause of deadlocks during serialization. (markt)
- 63441: Further streamline the processing of session creation messages in the `DeltaManager` to reduce the possibility of a session update message being processed before the session has been created. (markt)

#### Tribes

- Treat `NoRouteToHostException` the same way as `SocketTimeoutException` when checking the health of group members. This avoids a SEVERE log message every time the check is performed when the host associated with a group member is not powered on. (markt)

#### Other

- Switch from FindBugs to SpotBugs. (fschumacher)
- 63403: Fix TestHttp2InitialConnection test failures when running with a non-English locale. (kkolinko)
- Use the `test` command to check for terminal availability rather than the `tty` command since the `tty` based test fails on non-English locales. (markt)

### 2019-05-13 Tomcat 8.5.41 (markt)

#### Catalina

- Fix a potential resource leak when executing CGI scripts from a WAR file. Identified by Coverity scan. (markt)

- Refactor `ManagerServlet` to avoid loading classes when filtering JNDI resources for resources of a specified type. (markt)
- Avoid `OutOfMemoryError`s and `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException`s when accessing large files via the default servlet when resource caching has been disabled. (markt)
- Avoid a `NullPointerException` when a `Context` is defined in `server.xml` with a `docBase` but not the optional `path`. (markt)
- 63324: Refactor the `CrawlerSessionManagerValve` so that the object placed in the session is compatible with session serialization with mem-cached. Patch provided by Martin Lemanski. (markt)
- 63333: Override the `isAvailable()` method in the `JAASRealm` so that only login failures caused by invalid credentials trigger account lock out when the `LockOutRealm` is in use. Patch provided by jchobantonov. (markt)

#### Coyote

- When running on newer JREs that don't support SSLv2Hello, don't warn that it is not available unless explicitly configured. (markt)
- Refactor Hostname validation to improve performance. Patch provided by Uwe Hees. (markt)
- Expand HTTP/2 timeout handling to include connection window exhaustion on write. This is the fix for CVE-2019-10072. (markt)

#### Other

- 63335: Ensure that stack traces written by the `OneLineFormatter` are fully indented. The entire stack trace is now indented by an additional TAB character. (markt)
- When using the `OneLineFormatter`, don't print a blank line in the log after printing a stack trace. (markt)
- Update the internal fork of Apache Commons DBCP 2 to dcdbc72 (2019-04-24) to pick up some clean-up and enhancements less the JDBC 4.2 related changes that require Java 8. (markt)
- Update the internal fork of Apache Commons Pool 2 to 0664f4d (2019-04-30) to pick up some enhancements and bug fixes. (markt)
- Update the internal fork of Apache Commons FileUpload to 41e4047 (2019-04-24) pick up some enhancements. (markt)

### 2019-04-12 Tomcat 8.5.40 (markt)

#### Catalina

- 63196: Provide a default (`X-Forwarded-Proto`) for the `protocolHeader` attribute of the `RemoteIpFilter` and `RemoteIpValve`. (markt)
- 63235: Refactor Charset cache to reduce start time. (markt)
- 63249: Use a consistent log level (`WARN`) when logging the failure to register or deregister a JMX Bean. (markt)
- 63249: Use a consistent log level (`ERROR`) when logging the `LifecycleException` associated with the failure to start or stop a component. (markt)
- When the SSI directive `fsize` is used with an invalid target, return a file size of `-` rather than `1k`. (markt)
- 63251: Implement a work-around for a known JRE bug (JDK-8194653) that may cause a dead-lock when Tomcat starts. (markt)
- 63275: When using a `RequestDispatcher` ensure that `HttpServletRequest.getContextPath()` returns an encoded path in the dispatched request. (markt)
- 63286: Document the differences in behaviour between the `LogFormat` directive in httpd and the `pattern` attribute in the `AccessLogValve` for `%D` and `%T`. (markt)
- 63311: Add support for https URLs to the local resolver within Tomcat used to resolve standard XML DTDs and schemas when Tomcat is configured to validate XML configuration files such as web.xml. (markt)
- Encode the output of the SSI `printenv` command. This is the fix for CVE-2019-0221. (markt)
- Use constants for SSI encoding values. (markt)
- When the CGI Servlet is configured with `enableCmdLineArguments` set to true, limit the encoded form of the individual command line arguments to those values allowed by RFC 3875. This restriction may be relaxed by the use of the new initialisation parameter `cmdLineArgumentsEncoded`. (markt)
- When the CGI Servlet is configured with `enableCmdLineArguments` set to true, limit the decoded form of the individual command line arguments to known safe values when running on Windows. This restriction may be relaxed by the use of the new initialisation parameter `cmdLineArgumentsDecoded`. This is the fix for CVE-2019-0232. (markt)
- Change the default for the `enableCmdLineArguments` parameter of the CGI servlet from `true` to `false` as additional hardening against CVE-2019-0232. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Fix bad interaction between NIO2 async read API and the regular read. (remm)
- Refactor NIO2 write pending strategy for the classic IO API. (remm)
- Harmonize NIO2 isReadyForWrite with isReadyForRead code. (remm)
- When using a JSSE TLS connector that supported ALPN (Java 9 onwards) and a protocol was not negotiated, Tomcat failed to fallback to HTTP/1.1 and instead dropped the connection. (markt)
- Correct a regression in the TLS connector refactoring in Tomcat 9.0.17 that prevented the use of PKCS#8 private keys with OpenSSL based connectors. (markt)
- When performing an upgrade from HTTP/1.1 to HTTP/2, ensure that any query string present in the original HTTP/1.1 request is passed to the HTTP/2 request processing. (markt)
- When Tomcat writes a final response without reading all of an HTTP/2 request, reset the stream to inform the client that the remaining request body is not required. (markt)
- 63312: Correct a regression in the error page handling that prevented error pages from issuing redirects or taking other action that required the response status code to be changed. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Add support for specifying Java 11 (with the value `11`) as the compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. (markt)
- Add support for specifying Java 12 (with the value `12`) and Java 13 (with the value `13`) as the compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with an ECJ version that does not support these values, a warning will be logged and the latest supported version will used. Based on a patch by Thomas Collignon. (markt)

#### WebSocket

- Improve the handling of exceptions during TLS handshakes for the WebSocket client. (markt)

#### Web applications

- 63184: Expand the SSI documentation to provide more information on the supported directives and their attributes. Patch provided by nightwatchcyber. (markt)
- Add a note to the documentation about the risk of DoS with poorly written regular expressions and the `RewriteValve`. Patch provided by salgattas. (markt)

#### jdbc-pool

- 63320: Ensure that `StatementCache` caches statements that include arrays in arguments. (kfujino)

### 2019-03-19 Tomcat 8.5.39 (markt)

#### Catalina

- Minor HTTP/2 push fixes. (remm)
- Refactor how cookies are transferred from the base request to a `PushBuilder` so that they are accessible, and may be edited, via the standard `PushBuilder` methods for working with HTTP headers. (markt)
- Refactor error handling to enable errors that occur before processing is passed to the application to be handled by the application provided error handling and/or the container provided error handling (`ErrorReportValve`) as appropriate. (markt)
- Pass 404 errors triggered by a missing ROOT web application to the container error handling to generate the response body. (markt)
- Pass 400 errors triggered by invalid request targets to the container error handling to generate the response body. (markt)
- Pass errors triggered by invalid requests or unavailable services to the application provided error handling and/or the container provided error handling (`ErrorReportValve`) as appropriate. (markt)
- Refactor the MBean implementations for the internal Tomcat components to reduce code duplication. (markt)
- Simplify the value of `jarsToSkip` property in `catalina.properties` file for tomcat-i18n jar files. Use prefix pattern instead of listing each language. (kkolinko)
- Restore the getter and setter for the access log valve attribute `maxLogMessageBufferSize` that were accidentally removed. (markt)
- 63206: Add a new attribute to `Context` - `createUploadTargets` which, if `true` enables Tomcat to create the temporary upload location used by a Servlet if the location specified by the Servlet does not already exist. The default value is `false`. (markt)
- 63210: Ensure that the Apache Commons DBCP 2 based default connection pool is correctly shutdown when it is no longer required. This ensures that a non-daemon thread is not left running that will prevent Tomcat from shutting down cleanly. (markt)
- 63213: Ensure the correct escaping of group names when searching for nested groups when the JNDIRealm is configured with `roleNested` set to `true`. (markt)
- 63236: Use `String.intern()` as suggested by Phillip Webb to reduce memory wasted due to String duplication. This changes saves ~245k when starting a clean installation. With additional thanks to YourKit Java profiler for helping to track down the wasted memory and the root causes. (markt)
- 63246: Fix a potential `NullPointerException` when calling `AsyncContext.dispatch()`. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Ensure that the `toString()`, `toBytes()` and `toChars()` methods of `MessageBytes` behave consistently and do not throw a `NullPointerException` both on newly created objects and immediately after a call to `recycle()`. This should not impact typical Tomcat users. It may impact users who use these classes directly in their own code. (markt)
- When performing an HTTP/1.1 upgrade to HTTP/2 (h2c) ensure that the hostname and port from the HTTP/1.1 Host header of the upgraded request are made available via the standard methods `ServletRequest.getServerName()` and `ServletRequest.getServerPort()`. (markt)
- Make PEM file parser a public utility class. (remm)
- Refactor the APR/Native endpoint TLS configuration code to enable JSSE style configuration - including JKS keystores - to be used with the APR/Native connector. (markt)
- With the TLS configuration refactoring, the configuration attributes `sessionCacheSize` and `sessionTimeout` are no longer limited to JSSE implementations. They may now be used with OpenSSL implementations as well. (markt)
- Refactor NIO2 read pending strategy for the classic IO API. (remm)
- 63182: Avoid extra read notifications for HTTP/1.1 with NIO2 when using asynchronous threads. (remm)
- 63205: Add a work-around for a known JRE KeyStore loading bug. (markt)
- Sync with NIO2 async API from Tomcat 9 branch. (remm)
- NIO2 should try to use SocketTimeoutException everywhere rather than a mix of it and InterruptedByTimeout. (remm)
- Correct an error in the request validation that meant that HTTP/2 push requests always resulted in a 400 response. (markt)
- 63223: Correctly account for push requests when tracking currently active HTTP/2 streams. (markt)
- Verify HTTP/2 stream is still writable before assuming a timeout occurred. (remm)
- Avoid some overflow cases with OpenSSL to improve efficiency, as the OpenSSL engine has an internal buffer. (remm)
- Harmonize HTTP/1.1 NIO2 keepalive code. (remm)

#### WebSocket

- Remove the `STREAMS_DROP_EMPTY_MESSAGES` system property that was introduced to work-around four failing TCK tests. An alternative solution has been implemented. Sending messages via `getSendStream()` and `getSendWriter()` will now only result in messages on the wire if data is written to the `OutputStream` or `Writer`. Writing zero length data will result in an empty message. Note that sending a message via an `Encoder` may result in the message being send via `getSendStream()` or `getSendWriter()`. (markt)

#### Web applications

- Use client's preferred language for the Server Status page of the Manager web application. Review and fix several cases when the client's language preference was not respected in Manager and Host Manager web applications. (kkolinko)
- Fix messages used by Manager and Host Manager web applications. Disambiguate message keys used when adding or removing a host. Improve display of summary values on the status page: separate terms and values with a whitespace. Improve wording of messages for expire sessions command. (kkolinko)
- Do not add CSRF nonce parameter and suppress Referer header for external links in Manager and Host Manager web applications. (kkolinko)

#### Tribes

- Ensure that members registered in the addSuspects list are static members. (kfujino)

#### Other

- Expand the coverage and quality of the Russian translations provided with Apache Tomcat. (kkolinko)
- 63041: Revert the changes for 53930 that added support for the `CATALINA_OUT_CMD` environment variable as they prevented correct operation with systemd configurations that did not explicitly specify a PID file. (markt)

### 2019-02-08 Tomcat 8.5.38 (markt)

#### Catalina

- 54741: Add a new method, `Tomcat.addWebapp(String,URL)`, that allows a web application to be deployed from a URL when using Tomcat in embedded mode. (markt)
- Ensure that the `ServletOutputStream` implementation is consistent with the requirements of asynchronous I/O and that all of the write methods use a single write rather than multiple writes. (markt)
- Correct the Javadoc for `Context.getDocBase()` and `Context.setDocBase()` and remove text that indicates that a URL may be used for the `docBase` as this has not been the case for quite some time. (markt)
- Ensure that Tomcat is fully terminated when running as a service. (markt)
- Treat I/O errors during request body reads the same way as I/O errors during response body writes. The errors are treated as client side errors rather than server side errors and only logged at debug level. (markt)
- 63038: Ensure that a `ClassNotFoundException` is thrown when attempting to load a class from a corrupted JAR file. (markt)
- Make the removal of leading and trailing whitespace from credentials passed to BASIC authentication configurable via a new attribute, `trimCredentials` on the `BasicAuthenticator`. (markt)
- 63003: Extend the `unloadDelay` attribute on a `Context` to include in-flight asynchronous requests. (markt)
- 63026: Add a new attribute, `forceDnHexEscape`, to the `JNDIRealm` that forces escaping in the String representation of a distinguished name to use the `\nn` form. This may avoid issues with realms using Active Directory which appears to be more tolerant of optional escaping when the `\nn` form is used. (markt)
- Avoid a swallowed (and therefore ignored) access failure during web application class loading when running under a `SecurityManager`. (markt)
- Update the recommended minimum Tomcat Native version to 1.2.21. (markt)

#### Coyote

- 63009: Include the optional `content-length` header in HTTP/2 responses where an appropriate value is available. (markt)
- 63022: Do not use the socket open state when using the wrapper isClosed method for NIO and NIO2, as it will disable all further processing. (remm)
- Fix socket close discrepancies for NIO2, now the wrapper close is used everywhere except for socket accept problems. (remm)

#### Jasper

- 63056: Correct a regression in the fix for 53737 that did not correctly scan the web application directory structure for JSPs. (markt)
- Update the performance optimisation for using expressions in tags that depend on uninitialised tag attributes with implied scope to make the performance optimisation aware of the new public class (`java.lang.Enum$EnumDesc`) added in Java 12. (markt)

#### WebSocket

- 57974: Ensure implementation of `Session.getOpenSessions()` returns correct value for both client-side and server-side calls. (markt)
- 63019: Use payload remaining bytes rather than limit when writing. Submitted by Benoit Courtilly. (remm)
- When running under a `SecurityManager`, ensure that the `ServiceLoader` look-up for the default `javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpointConfig.Configurator` implementation completes correctly rather than silently using the hard-coded fall-back. (markt)
- Ensure that the network connection is closed if the client receives an I/O error trying to communicate with the server. (markt)
- Ignore synthetic methods when scanning POJO methods. (markt)
- Implement the requirements of section 5.2.1 of the WebSocket 1.1 specification and ensure that if the deployment of one Endpoint fails, no Endpoints are deployed for that web application. (markt)
- Implement the requirements of section 4.3 of the WebSocket 1.1 specification and ensure that the deployment of an Endpoint fails if `@PathParam` is used with an invalid parameter type. (markt)
- Ensure a `DeploymentException` rather than an `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown if a method annotated with `@OnMessage` does not conform to the requirements set out in the Javadoc. (markt)
- Improve algorithm that determines if two `@OnMessage` annotations have been added for the same message type. Prior to this change some matches were missed. (markt)

#### Web applications

- 63103: Remove the unused source.jsp file and associated tag from the examples web application as it is no longer used. (markt)
- 63143: Ensure that the Manager web application respects the language preferences of the user as configured in the browser when the language of the default system locale is not English. (markt)

- Make asynchronous error handling more robust. In particular ensure that `onError()` is called for any registered `AsyncListener`s after an I/O error on a non-container thread. (markt)
- Additional permission for deleting files is granted to JULI as it is required by FileHandler when running under a Security Manager. The thread that cleans the log files is marked as daemon thread. (violetagg)
- 61229: Correct a regression in 8.5.15 that broke WebDAV handling for resources with names that included a `&` character. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Restore the ability to configure support for SSLv3. Enabling this protocol will trigger a warning in the logs since it is known to be insecure. (markt)
- Do not log a warning when a `null` session is returned for an OpenSSL based TLS session since this is expected when session tickets are enabled. (markt)
- When the access log valve logs a TLS related request attribute and the NIO2 connector is used with OpenSSL, ensure that the TLS attributes are available to the access log valve when the connection is closing. (markt)
- 60461: Sync SSL session access for the APR connector. (remm)
- To ease migration from 8.0.x to 8.5.x, if the HTTP or AJP BIO connector is explicitly configured, rather than failing to start the connector because BIO has been removed, automatically switch to NIO and continue. A warning will be logged to alert the user to the switch. (markt)

#### General

- Allow to exclude JUnit test classes using the build property `test.exclude` and document the property in BUILDING.txt. (rjung)

#### Catalina

- Review those places where Tomcat re-encodes a URI or URI component and ensure that the correct encoding (path differs from query string) is applied and that the encoding is applied consistently. (markt)
- Avoid a `NullPointerException` when reading attributes for a initialised HTTP connector where TLS is enabled. (markt)
- Always quote the `hostName` of an `SSLHostConfig` element when using it as part of the JMX object name to avoid errors that prevent the associated TLS connector from starting if a wild card `hostName` is configured (because `*` is a reserved character for JMX object names). (markt)
- Switch to using `Charset` rather than `String` to store encoding settings (including for configuration and for the `Content-Type header`) to reduce the number of places the associated `Charset` needs to be looked up. (markt)
- Use a more reliable mechanism for the `DefaultServlet` when determining if the current request is for custom error page or not. (markt)
- Ensure that when the Default or WebDAV servlets process an error dispatch that the error resource is processed via the `doGet()` method irrespective of the method used for the original request that triggered the error. (markt)
- If a static custom error page is specified that does not exist or cannot be read, ensure that the intended error status is returned rather than a 404 or 403. (markt)
- When the WebDAV servlet is configured and an error dispatch is made to a custom error page located below `WEB-INF`, ensure that the target error page is displayed rather than a 404 response. (markt)
- 61047: Add MIME mapping for woff2 fonts in the default web.xml. Patch provided by Justin Williamson. (violetagg)

- 60728: Make the separator Tomcat uses in the Tomcat specific `war:file:...` URL protocol customizable via a system property. The separator is equivalent to the use of the `!` character in `jar:file:...` URLs. The default separator of `*` remains unchanged. (markt)
- Update the `org.apache.catalina.servlet4preview` package that can be used to gain early access to Servlet 4.0 features to align with the latest proposals from the Servlet 4.0 expert group. This includes updates to the new Servlet mapping API, new methods on the `ServletContext` to make the available API more equivalent to the deployment descriptor, updates to the HTTP push API and the ability to set default request and response character encoding per web application.

- 60395: Log when an `Authenticator` passes an incomplete `GSSContext` to a Realm since it indicates a bug in the `Authenticator`. Patch provided by Michael Osipov. (markt)
- 60400: When expanding the buffer used for reading the request body, ensure the read position will be restored to the original one. (violetagg)
- 60410: Ensure that multiple calls to `JarInputStreamWrapper#close()` do not incorrectly trigger the closure of the underlying JAR or WAR file. (markt)
- 60411: Implement support in the `RewriteValve` for symbolic names to specify the redirect code to use when returning a redirect response to the user agent. Patch provided by Michael Osipov. (markt)
- 60413: In the `RewriteValve` write empty capture groups as the empty string rather than as `"null"` when generating the re-written URL. Based on a patch by Michael Osipov. (markt)

#### Coyote

- 60409: When unable to complete sendfile request, ensure the Processor will be added to the cache only once. (markt/violetagg)
- Ensure that the endpoint is able to unlock the acceptor thread during shutdown if the endpoint is configured to listen to any local address of a specific type such as `0.0.0.0` or `::`. (markt)
- Add a new configuration option, `ipv6v6only` to the APR connectors that allows them to be configure to only accept IPv6 connections when configured with an IPv6 address rather than the default which is to accept IPv4 connections as well if the operating system uses a dual network stack. (markt)
- Improve the logic that unlocks the acceptor thread so a better choice is made for the address to connect to when a connector is configured for any local port. This reduces the likelihood of the unlock failing. (markt)
- 60436: Avoid a potential NPE when processing async timeouts. (markt)
- Reduce the window in which an async request that has just started processing on a container thread remains eligible for an async timeout. (markt)

- 60194: If `validationQuery` is not specified, connection validation is done by calling the `isValid()` method. (kfujino)
- 60398: Fix testcase of `TestSlowQueryReport`. (kfujino)

#### Other

- Allow customization of service.bat, such as heap memory size, service startup mode and JVM args. Patch provided by isapir via Github. (violetagg)
- 60366: Change `catalina.bat` to use directly `LOGGING_MANAGER` and `LOGGING_CONFIG` variables in order to configure logging, instead of modifying `JAVA_OPTS`. Patch provided by Petter Isberg. (violetagg)
- 60383: JASPIC API is added as a dependency to the `org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina` maven artifact. (violetagg)

- When configuring the JMX remote listener, specify the allowed types for the credentials. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Correct the HPACK header table size configuration that transposed the client and server table sizes when creating the encoder and decoder. (markt)
- Don't continue to process an HTTP/2 stream if it is reset during header parsing. (markt)
- HTTP/2 uses separate headers for each Cookie. As required by RFC 7540, merge these into a single Cookie header before processing continues. (markt)
- Align the HTTP/2 implementation with the HTTP/1.1 implementation and return a 500 response when an unhandled exception occurs during request processing. (markt)
- Correct the HTTP header parser so that DEL is not treated as a valid token character. (markt)
- Add checks around the handling of HTTP/2 pseudo headers. (markt)
- Add support for trailer headers to the HTTP/2 implementation. (markt)
- 60232: When processing headers for an HTTP/2 stream, ensure that the read buffer is large enough for the header being processed. (markt)

- Correctly differentiate between sending and receiving a reset frame when tracking the state of an HTTP/2 stream. (markt)
- 60319: When using an Executor, disconnect it from the Connector attributes `maxThreads`, `minSpareThreads` and `threadPriority` to enable the configuration settings to be consistently reported. These Connector attributes will be reported as `-1` when an Executor is in use. The values used by the executor may be set and obtained via the Executor. (markt)
- If an I/O error occurs during async processing on a non-container thread, ensure that the `onError()` event is triggered. (markt)
- Improve detection of I/O errors during async processing on non-container threads and trigger async error handling when they are detected. (markt)
- Add additional checks for valid characters to the HTTP request line parsing so invalid request lines are rejected sooner. (markt)

- 60013: Refactor the previous fix to align the behaviour of the Rewrite Valve with mod_rewrite. As part of this, provide an implementation for the `B` and `NE` flags and improve the handling for the `QSA` flag. Includes multiple test cases by Santhana Preethiand a patch by Tiago Oliveira. (markt)
- 60087: Refactor the web resources handling to use the Tomcat specific `war:file:...` URL protocol to refer to WAR files and their contents rather than the standard `jar:file:...` 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 `SecurityManager`. (markt)
- 60116: Fix a problem with the rewrite valve that caused back references evaluated in conditions to be forced to lower case when using the `NC` flag. (markt)
- Ensure `Digester.useContextClassLoader` is considered in case the class loader is used. (violetagg)
- 60117: Ensure that the name of `LogLevel` is localized when using `OneLineFormatter`. Patch provided by Tatsuya Bessho. (kfujino)
- 60138: Fix the `SSLHostConfig` so that the `protocols` attribute is limited to the protocols supported by the current JSSE implementation rather than the default protocols used by the implementation. (markt)
- 60146: Improve performance for resource retrieval by making calls to WebResource.getInputStream() trigger caching if the resource is small enough. Patch provided by mohitchugh. (markt)
- 60151: Improve the exception error messages when a `ResourceLink` fails to specify the type, specifies an unknown type or specifies the wrong type. (markt)

- Improve the access checks for linked global resources to handle the case where the current class loader is a child of the web application class loader. (markt)
- 60196: Ensure that the `isMandatory` flag is correctly set when using JASPIC authentication. (markt)
- 60199: Log a warning if deserialization issues prevent a session attribute from being loaded. (markt)
- 60208: When using RFC6265 compliant cookies, the `/` character should not be allowed in a cookie name since the RFC6265 will drop such cookies as invalid. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Refactor the code that implements the requirement that a call to `complete()` or `dispatch()` made from a non-container thread before the container initiated thread that called `startAsync()` completes must be delayed until the container initiated thread has completed. Rather than implementing this by blocking the non-container thread, extend the internal state machine to track this. This removes the possibility that blocking the non-container thread could trigger a deadlock. (markt)
- Fail earlier if the client closes the connection during SNI processing. (markt)
- 60123: Avoid potential threading issues that could cause excessively large vales to be returned for the processing time of a current request. (markt)
- 60174: Log instances of `HeadersTooLargeException` during request processing. (markt)

- 60139: Correct Javadocs for `PoolConfiguration.getValidationInterval` and `setValidationInterval`. Reported by Phillip Webb. (kfujino)

#### Other

- Update the download location for Objenesis. (violetagg)
- 60164: Replace `log4j-core*.jar` with `log4j-web*.jar` since it is `log4j-web*.jar` that contains the `ServletContainerInitializer`. (markt)

- 59813: Ensure that circular relations of the Class-Path attribute from JAR manifests will be processed correctly. (violetagg)
- Ensure that reading the `singleThreadModel` attribute of a `StandardWrapper` via JMX does not trigger initialisation of the associated servlet. With some frameworks this can trigger an unexpected initialisation thread and if initialisation is not thread-safe the initialisation can then fail. (markt)
- Compatibility with rewrite from httpd for non existing headers. (jfclere)
- By default, treat paths used to obtain a request dispatcher as encoded. This behaviour can be changed per web application via the `dispatchersUseEncodedPaths` attribute of the Context. (markt)

- 59859: Fix resource leak in WebDAV servlet. Based on patch by Coty Sutherland. (fschumacher)
- Provide a mechanism that enables the container to check if a component (typically a web application) has been granted a given permission when running under a SecurityManager without the current execution stack having to have passed through the component. Use this new mechanism to extend SecurityManager protection to the system property replacement feature of the digester. (markt)
- When retrieving an object via a `ResourceLink`, ensure that the object obtained is of the expected type. (markt)
- 59823: Ensure that JASPIC configuration is taken into account when calling `HttpServletRequest.authenticate()`. (markt)
- 59824: Mark the `RewriteValve` as supporting async processing by default. (markt)
- 59862: Allow nested jar files scanning to be filtered with the system property `tomcat.util.scan.StandardJarScanFilter.jarsToSkip`. Patch is provided by Terence Bandoian. (violetagg)
- 59866: When scanning `WEB-INF/classes` for annotations, don't scan the contents of `WEB-INF/classes/META-INF` (if present) since classes will never be loaded from that location. (markt)
- 59888: Correctly handle tabs and spaces in quoted version one cookies when using the `Rfc6265CookieProcessor`. (markt)
- 59912: Fix an edge case in input stream handling where an `IOException` could be thrown when reading a POST body. (markt)

- 59966: Do not start the web application if the error page configuration in web.xml is invalid. (markt)
- Switch the CGI servlet to the standard logging mechanism and remove support for the debug attribute. (markt)
- 60012: Improvements in the log messages. Based on suggestions by Nemo Chen. (violetagg)
- Changes to the `allowLinking` attribute of a `StandardRoot` instance now invalidate the cache if caching is enabled. (markt)
- Add a new initialisation parameter, `envHttpHeaders`, to the CGI Servlet to mitigate httpoxy (CVE-2016-5388) by default and to provide a mechanism that can be used to mitigate any future, similar issues. (markt)
- When adding and removing `ResourceLink`s dynamically, ensure that the global resource is only visible via the `ResourceLinkFactory` when it is meant to be. (markt)
- 60008: When processing CORs requests, treat any origin with a URI scheme of `file` as a valid origin. (markt)
- Improve handling of exceptions during a Lifecycle events triggered by a state transition. The exception is now caught and the component is now placed into the `FAILED` state. (markt)
- 60013: Fix encoding issues when using the RewriteValve with UTF-8 query strings or UTF-8 redirect URLs. (markt)

- Consistently decode URL patterns provided via web.xml using the encoding of the web.xml file where specified or UTF-8 where no explicit encoding is specified. (markt)
- Make timing attacks against the Realm implementations harder. (schultz)
- A number of the JRE memory leaks addressed by the `JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener` have been fixed in Java 9 so the associated protection is now disabled when running on Java 9 onwards. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Correct a regression in refactoring to enable injection of custom keystores that broke the automatic conversion of OpenSSL style PEM key and certificate files for use with JSSE TLS connectors. (markt)
- 59910: Don't hardcode key alias value to "tomcat" for JSSE. When using a keystore, OpenSSL will still default to it. (remm)
- 59904: Add a limit (default 200) for the number of cookies allowed per request. Based on a patch by gehui. (markt)
- 59925: Correct regression in r1628368 and ensure that HTTP separators are handled as configured in the `LegacyCookieProcessor`. Patch provided by Kyohei Nakamura. (markt)
- 59950: Correct log message when reporting that the current number of HTTP/2 streams for a connection could not be pruned to below the limit. (markt)
- Ensure that `Semaphore.release` is called in all cases. Even when there is an exception. (violetagg)

- Correct a regression in the fix for 58588 that removed the entire `org.apache.juli` package from the embedded JARs rendering them unusable. (markt)
- 59399: Add a new option to the Realm implementations that ship with Tomcat that allows the HTTP status code used for HTTP -> HTTPS redirects to be controlled per Realm. (markt)
- Change the default of the `sessionCookiePathUsesTrailingSlash` attribute of the `Context` element to `false` since the problems caused when a Servlet is mapped to `/*` are more significant than the security risk of not enabling this option by default. (markt)
- Follow-up to 59655. Improve the documentation for configuring permitted cookie names. Patch provided by Kyohei Nakamura. (markt)
- Do not attempt to start web resources during a web application's initialisation phase since the web application is not fully configured at that point and the web resources may not be correctly configured. (markt)
- 59708: Modify the LockOutRealm logic. Valid authentication attempts during the lock out period will no longer reset the lock out timer to zero. (markt)
- Improve error handling around user code prior to calling `InstanceManager.destroy()` to ensure that the method is executed. (markt)

#### Coyote

- 59233: Add the ability to add TLS virtual hosts dynamically. (markt)
- Add a `maxConcurrentStreamExecution` on the HTTP/2 protocol handler to allow restricting the amount of concurrent stream that are being executed in a single connection. The default is to not limit it. (remm)
- Correct a problem with `ServletRequest.getServerPort()` for secure HTTP/2 connections that meant an incorrect value was returned when using the default port. (markt)
- Improve error handling around user code prior to calling `InstanceManager.destroy()` to ensure that the method is executed. (markt)
- Document the default for the HTTP/2 configuration parameter `maxConcurrentStreamExecution` as 20. (markt)

#### Jasper

- Improve error handling around user code prior to calling `InstanceManager.destroy()` to ensure that the method is executed. (markt)

#### WebSocket

- Now the WebSocket implementation is not built directly on top of the Servlet API and can use Tomcat internals, there is no need for the dedicated WebSocket Executor. It has been replaced by the use of the Connector/Endpoint provided Executor. (markt)
- Improve error handling around user code prior to calling `InstanceManager.destroy()` to ensure that the method is executed. (markt)

#### Web Applications

- Do not log an additional case of `IOException`s in the error handler for the Drawboard WebSocket example when the root cause is the client disconnecting since the logs add no value. (markt)
- 59642: Mention the `localDataSource` in the `DataSourceRealm` section of the Realm How-To. (markt)
- 59672: Update the security considerations page of the documentation web application to take account of the fact that the Manager and HostManager applications now have a `RemoteAddrValve` configured by default. (markt)
- Follow-up to the fix for 59399. Ensure that the new attribute `transportGuaranteeRedirectStatus` is documented for all Realms. Also document the `NullRealm` and when it is automatically created for an Engine. (markt)
- Fix the description of `maxAge` attribute in jdbc-pool doc. This attribute works both when a connection is returned and when a connection is borrowed. (kfujino)
- 59774: Correct the `prefix` values in the documented examples for configuring the `AccessLogValve`. Patch provided by Mike Noordermeer. (markt)

#### Extras

- 58588: Remove the JULI extras package from the distribution. It was only useful for switching Tomcat's internal logging to log4j 1.2.x and that version of log4j is no longer supported. No additional Tomcat code is required if switching Tomcat's internal logging to log via log4j 2.x. (markt)

#### Tribes

- Add log message when the ping has timed-out. (kfujino)
- If the ping message has been received at the `AbstractReplicatedMap#leftOver` method, ensure that notify the member is alive than ignore it. (kfujino)

- Use UTF-8 with a standard prolog for all XML files. (markt)

### 2016-06-13 Tomcat 8.5.3 (markt)

#### Catalina

- RMI Target related memory leaks are avoidable which makes them an application bug that needs to be fixed rather than a JRE bug to work around. Therefore, start logging RMI Target related memory leaks on web application stop. Add an option that controls if the check for these leaks is made. Log a warning if running on Java 9 with this check enabled but without the command line option it requires. (markt)
- Ensure NPE will not be thrown during deployment when scanning jar files without MANIFEST.MF file. (violetagg)
- Remove the `clearReferencesStatic` option from `StandardContext`. It was known to cause problems with some libraries (such as log4j) and was only linked to suspected memory leaks rather than known memory leaks. It had been disabled by default with no increase in the reports of memory leaks for some time. (markt)
- 59604: Correct the assumption made in the URL decoding that the default platform encoding is always compatible with ISO-8859-1. This assumption is not always valid, e.g. on z/OS. (markt)
- 59608: Skip over any invalid `Class-Path` attribute from JAR manifests. Log errors at debug level due to many bad libraries. (remm)
- Fix error message when failed to register MBean. (kfujino)
- 59655: Configure the cookie name validation to use RFC6265 rules by default to align it with the default cookie parser. Document the impact system properties have on cookie name validation. (mark)

#### Coyote

- Ensure that requests with HTTP method names that are not tokens (as required by RFC 7231) are rejected with a 400 response. (markt)
- When an asynchronous request is processed by the AJP connector, ensure that request processing has fully completed before starting the next request. (markt)
- Improve handling of HTTP/2 stream resets. (markt)
- 58750: The HTTP Server header is no longer set by default. A Server header may be configured by setting the `server` attribute on the `Connector`. A new `Connector` attribute, `serverRemoveAppProvidedValues` may be used to remove any Server header set by a web application. (markt)
- 59564: Correct offset when reading into HTTP/2 input buffer that could cause problems reading request bodies. (violetagg/markt)
- Modify the handling of read/write timeouts so that the appropriate error handling (`ReadListener.onError()`, `WriteListener.onError()` or `AsyncListener.onError()`) is called. (markt)
- If an async dispatch results in the completion of request processing, ensure that any remaining request body is swallowed before starting the processing of the next request else the remaining body may be read as the start of the next request leading to a 400 response. (markt)
- Fix a cause of multiple attempts to close the same socket. (markt)

- 59219: Ensure `AsyncListener.onError()` is called if an `Exception` is thrown during async processing. (markt)
- 59220: Ensure that `AsyncListener.onComplete()` is called if the async request times out and the response is already committed. (markt)
- 59226: Process the `Class-Path` attribute from JAR manifests for JARs on the class path excluding JARs packaged in `WEB-INF/lib`. (markt)
- 59255: Fix possible NPE in mapper. (kkolinko/remm)
- 59256: `slf4j-taglib*.jar` should not be excluded from the standard JAR scanning by default. (violetagg)
- Clarify in the log message that specifying both urlPatterns and value attributes in WebServlet and WebFilter annotations is not allowed. (violetagg)
- Ensure the exceptions caused by Valves will be available in the log files so that they can be evaluated when `o.a.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.showReport` is disabled. Patch is provided by Svetlin Zarev. (violetagg)
- Remove unused `distributable` attribute that is defined as `TransientAttribute` of `Manager` in StoreConfig. (kfujino)
- Fix handling of Cluster Receiver in StoreConfig. The `bind` and `host` attributes define as `TransientAttribute`. (kfujino)
- 59261: `ServletRequest.getAsyncContext()` now throws an `IllegalStateException` as required by the Servlet specification if the request is not in asynchronous mode when called. (markt)
- 59269: Correct the implementation of `PersistentManagerBase` so that `minIdleSwap` functions as designed and sessions are swapped out to keep the active session count below `maxActiveSessions`. (markt)
- Add the `org.apache.catalina.servlet4preview` package that can be used to gain early access to Servlet 4.0 features. Note that this package will not be present in Tomcat 9. (markt)
- Correctly configure the base path for a resources directory provided by an expanded JAR file. Patch provided by hengyunabc. (markt)
- When multiple compressed formats are available and the client does not express a preference, use the server order to determine the preferred format. Based on a patch by gmokki. (markt)

- 59310: Do not add a `Content-Length: 0` header for custom responses to `HEAD` requests that do not set a `Content-Length` value. (markt)
- When normalizing paths, improve the handling when paths end with `/.` or `/..` and ensure that input and output are consistent with respect to whether or not they end with `/`. (markt)
- 59317: Ensure that `HttpServletRequest.getRequestURI()` returns an encoded URI rather than a decoded URI after a dispatch. (markt)
- Use the correct URL for the fragment when reporting errors processing a `web-fragment.xml` file from a JAR located in an unpacked WAR. (markt)
- Ensure that `JarScanner` only uses the explicit call-back to process `WEB-INF/classes` and only when configured to treat the contents of `WEB-INF/classes` as a possible exploded JAR. (markt)
- Remove the `java2DDisposerProtection` option from the `JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener`. The leak is fixed in Java 7 onwards and Tomcat 8 requires Java 7 so the option is unnecessary. (markt)

#### Coyote

- Align cipher configuration parsing with current OpenSSL master. (markt)
- Change the default for `honorCipherOrder` to `false`. With the current default TLS configuration, it is no longer necessary for this to be `true` for a reasonably secure configuration. (markt)
- Add a new environment variable `JSSE_OPTS` that is intended to be used to pass JVM wide configuration to the JSSE implementation. The default value is `-Djdk.tls.ephemeralDHKeySize=2048` which protects against weak Diffie-Hellman keys. (markt)
- When running on Java 7, exclude DHE ciphers from the default cipher list for JSSE connectors since they use weak 768 bit DH keys and cannot be configured to use more secure keys. (markt)
- 58970: Fix a connection counting bug in the NIO connector that meant some dropped connections were not removed from the current connection count. (markt)
- 59289: Do not recycle upgrade processors in unexpected close situations. (remm)
- 59295: Use `Locale.toLanguageTag()` to construct the `Content-Language` HTTP header to ensure the locale is correctly represented. Patch provided by zikfat. (markt)

- Return back a container specific extension to the WsServerContainer to allow frameworks to more easily dispatch requests to WebSocket endpoints. (violetagg)
- Fix a regression caused by the connector refactoring and ensure that the thread context class loader is set to the web application classloader when processing WebSocket messages on the server. (markt)
- Ensure that a client disconnection triggers the error handling for the associated WebSocket end point. (markt)
- Make WebSocket client more robust when handling errors during the close of a WebSocket session. (markt)

#### Web applications

- Correct a typo in SSL/TLS Configuration How-To. Issue reported via comments.apache.org. (violetagg)

#### Tribes

- Avoid NPE when a proxy node failed to retrieve a backup entry. (kfujino)
- Add log of when received an unexpected messages. (kfujino)
- Add the flag indicating that member is a localMember. (kfujino)
- Fix potential NPE that depends on the setting order of attributes of static member when using the static cluster. (kfujino)
- Add get/set method for the channel that is related to `ChannelInterceptor`. (kfujino)
- As with the multicast cluster environment, in the static cluster environment, the local member inherits properties from the cluster receiver. (kfujino)
- Add get/set method for the channel that is related to each Channel services. (kfujino)
- Add name to channel in order to identify channels. In tomcat cluster environment, it is set the cluster name + "-Channel" as default value. (kfujino)

#### Other

- 59209: Remove `honorCipherOrder=false` attribute from the connector example in server.xml. When the block is uncommented the connector will use the default value for this attribute which is `false`. If one needs to enable it, one can add it explicitly to the connector definition. Use of this feature requires Java 8 or later. Patch is provided by Huxing Zhang. (violetagg)
- 59211: Add hamcrest to Eclipse classpath. Patch is provided by Huxing Zhang. (violetagg)
- 59280: Update the NSIS Installer used to build the Windows Installers to version 2.51. (kkolinko)
- Update the packaged version of the Tomcat Native Library to 1.2.7 to pick up the Windows binaries that are based on OpenSSL 1.0.2h and APR 1.5.2. (markt)

### 2016-03-24 Tomcat 8.5.0 (markt)

#### General

- Remove support for Comet. (markt)
- Tighten up the default file permissions for the `.tar.gz` distribution so no files or directories are world readable by default. Configure Tomcat to run with a default umask of `0027` which may be overridden by setting `UMASK` in `setenv.sh`. (markt)
- Remove native code (Windows Service Wrapper, APR/native connector) support for Windows Itanium. (markt)

#### Catalina

- The default HTTP cookie parser has been changed to `org.apache.tomcat.util.http.Rfc6265CookieProcessor`. (markt)
- Refactor creation of `MapperListener` to ensure that the `Mapper` used is the `Mapper` associated with the `Service` for which the listener was created. (markt)
- Move the functionality that provides redirects for context roots and directories where a trailing `/` is added from the Mapper to the `DefaultServlet`. This enables such requests to be processed by any configured Valves and Filters before the redirect is made. This behaviour is configurable via the `mapperContextRootRedirectEnabled` and `mapperDirectoryRedirectEnabled` attributes of the Context which may be used to restore the previous behaviour. (markt)
- Refactor `Service.getContainer()` to return an `Engine` rather than a `Container`. (markt)
- 34319: Only load those keys in `StoreBase.processExpire` from JDBCStore that are old enough to be expired. Based on a patch by Tom Anderson. (fschumacher)
- 58351: Make the server build date and server version number accessible via JMX. Patch provided by Huxing Zhang. (markt)
- 56917: As per RFC7231 (HTTP/1.1), allow HTTP/1.1 and later redirects to use relative URIs. This is controlled by a new attribute `useRelativeRedirects` on the Context and defaults to `true`. (markt)
- 58629: Allow an embedded Tomcat instance to start when the `Service` has no `Engine` configured. (markt)
- Correctly notify the MapperListener associated with a Service if the Engine for that Service is changed. (markt)
- Make a web application's CredentialHandler available through a context attribute. This allows a web application to use the same algorithm for validating or generating new stored credentials from cleartext ones. (schultz)
- 58635: Enable break points to be set within agent code when running Tomcat with a Java agent. Based on a patch by Huxing Zhang. (markt)
- Fixed potential NPE in `HostConfig` while deploying an application. Issue reported by coverity scan. (violetagg)
- 58655: Fix an `IllegalStateException` when calling `HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect()` with the `RemoteIpFilter`. This was caused by trying to correctly generate the absolute URI for the redirect. With the fix for 56917, redirects may now be relative making the `sendRedirect()` implementation for the `RemoteIpFilter` much simpler. This also addresses issues where the redirect may not have behaved as expected when redirecting from http to https to from https to http. (markt)
- 58657: Exceptions in a Servlet 3.1 `ReadListener` or `WriteListener` do not need to be immediately fatal to the connection. Allow an error response to be written. (markt)
- Correct implementation of `validateClientProvidedNewSessionId` so client provided session IDs may be rejected if validation is enabled. (markt)
- 58701: Reset the `instanceInitialized` field in `StandardWrapper` when unloading a Servlet so that a new instance may be correctly initialized. (markt)
- Add a new flag `aprPreferred` to the Apr listener. if set to `false`, when using the connector defaults, it will use NIO + OpenSSL if tomcat-native is available, rather than the APR connector. (remm)
- Add path parameter handling to `HttpServletRequest.getContextPath()`. This is a follow-up to the fix for 57215. (markt)
- 58692: Make `StandardJarScanner` more robust. Log a warning if a class path entry cannot be scanned rather than triggering the failure of the web application. Includes a test case written by Derek Abdine. (markt)
- 58702: Ensure an access log entry is generated if the client aborts the connection. (markt)
- Fixed various issues reported by Findbugs. (violetagg)
- 58735: Add support for the `X-XSS-Protection` header to the `HttpHeaderSecurityFilter`. Patch provided by Jacopo Cappellato. (markt)
- Add the `StatusManagerServlet` to the list of Servlets that can only be loaded by privileged applications. (markt)
- Simplify code and fix messages in `org.apache.catalina.core.DefaultInstanceManager` class. (kkolinko)
- 58751: Correctly handle the case where an `AsyncListener` dispatches to a Servlet on an asynchronous timeout and the Servlet uses `sendError()` to trigger an error page. Includes a test case based on code provided by Andy Wilkinson.(markt)
- Ensure that the proper file encoding, if specified, will be used when a readme file is served by DefaultServlet. (violetagg)
- Fix declaration of `localPort` attribute of Connector MBean: it is read-only. (kkolinko)
- 58766: Make skipping non-class files during annotation scanning faster by checking the file name first. Improve debug logging. (kkolinko)
- 58768: Log a warning if a redirect fails because of an invalid location. (markt)
- 58827: Remove remains of JSR-77 implementation. (markt)
- 58836: Correctly merge query string parameters when processing a forwarded request where the target includes a query string that contains a parameter with no value. (markt/kkolinko)
- Make sure that shared Digester is reset in an unlikely error case in `HostConfig.deployWAR()`. (kkolinko)
- Extend the feature available in the cluster session manager implementations that enables session attribute replication to be filtered based on attribute name to all session manager implementations. Note that configuration attribute name has changed from `sessionAttributeFilter` to `sessionAttributeNameFilter`. Apply the filter on load as well as unload to ensure that configuration changes made while the web application is stopped are applied to any persisted data. (markt)
- Extend the session attribute filtering options to include filtering based on the implementation class of the value and optional `WARN` level logging if an attribute is filtered. These options are available for all of the Manager implementations that ship with Tomcat. When a `SecurityManager` is used filtering will be enabled by default. (markt)
- Remove `distributable` and `maxInactiveInterval` from the `Manager` interface because the attributes are never used. The equivalent attributes from the `Context` always take precedence. (markt)
- 58867: Improve checking on Host start for WAR files that have been modified while Tomcat has stopped and re-expand them if `unpackWARs` is `true`. (markt)
- 58900: Correctly undeploy symlinked resources and prevent an infinite cycle of deploy / undeploy. (markt)
- Protect initialization of `ResourceLinkFactory` when running with a SecurityManager. (kkolinko)
- Correct a thread safety issue in the filtering of session attributes based on the implementing class name of the value object. (markt)
- Fix class loader decision on the delegation for class loading and resource lookup and make it faster too. (rjung)
- 58905: Ensure that `Tomcat.silence()` silences the correct logger and respects the current setting. (markt)
- 58946: Ensure that the request parameter map remains immutable when processing via a RequestDispatcher. (markt)
- Ensure that `/WEB-INF/classes` is never processed as a web fragment. (markt)
- Switch default connector when native is installed. Unless configured otherwise, the NIO endpoint will be used by default. If SSL is configured, OpenSSL will be used rather than JSSE. (remm)
- Correct a regression in the fix for 58867. When configuring a Context to use an external directory for the `docBase`, and that directory happens to be located along side the original WAR, use the directory as the `docBase` rather than expanding the WAR into the `appBase` and using the newly created expanded directory as the `docBase`. (markt)
- 58988: Special characters in the substitutions for the RewriteValve can now be quoted with a backslash. (fschumacher)
- 58999: Fix class and resource name filtering in WebappClassLoader. It throws a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException if the name is exactly "org" or "javax". (rjung)
- Add JASPIC (JSR-196) support. (markt)
- Make checking for var and map replacement in RewriteValve a bit stricter and correct detection of colon in var replacement. (fschumacher)
- Refactor the web application class loader to reduce the impact of JAR scanning on the memory footprint of the web application. (markt)
- Fix some resource leaks in the error handling for accessing files from JARs and WARs. (markt)
- Refactor the JAR and JAR-in-WAR resource handling to reduce the memory footprint of the web application. (markt)
- Refactor the web.xml parsing so a new parser is created every time the web application starts rather than creating and caching the parser when the Context is created. This enables the parser to take account of modified Context configuration parameters and reduces (slightly) the memory footprint of a running Tomcat instance. (markt)
- Switch the web application class loader to the `ParallelWebappClassLoader` by default. (markt)
- 57809: Remove the custom context attribute that held the effective web.xml. Components needing access to configuration information may access it via the Servlet API. (markt)
- Refactor JAR scanning to reduce memory footprint. (markt)
- 59001: Correctly handle the case when Tomcat is installed on a path where one of the segments ends in an exclamation mark. (markt)
- Expand the fix for 59001 to cover the special sequences used in Tomcat's custom jar:war: URLs. (markt)
- 59043: Avoid warning while expiring sessions associated with a single sign on if `HttpServletRequest.logout()` is used. (markt)
- 59054: Ensure that using the `CrawlerSessionManagerValve` in a distributed environment does not trigger an error when the Valve registers itself in the session. (markt)
- Add socket properties support to storeconfig. (remm)
- Fix incorrect parsing of the NE and NC flags in rewrite rules. (remm)
- 59065: Correct the timing of the check for colons in paths on non-Windows systems implemented in `catalina.sh` so it works correctly with Cygwin. Patch provided by Ed Randall. (markt)
- When a Host is configured with an appBase that does not exist, create the appBase before trying to expand an external WAR file into it. (markt)
- 59115: When using the Servlet 3.0 file upload, the submitted file name may be provided as a token or a quoted-string. If a quoted-string, unquote the string before returning it to the user. (markt)
- 59123: Close `NamingEnumeration` objects used by the `JNDIRealm` once they are no longer required. (fschumacher/markt)
- Implement the proposed Servlet 4.0 API to provide mapping type information for the current request. (markt)
- 59138: Correct a false positive warning for ThreadLocal related memory leaks when the key class but not the value class has been loaded by the web application class loader. (markt)
- 59017: Make the pre-compressed file support in the Default Servlet generic so any compression may be used rather than just gzip. Patch provided by Mikko Tiihonen. (markt)
- 59145: Don't log an invalid warning when a user logs out of a session associated with SSO. (markt)
- 59150: Add an additional flag on APR listener to allow disabling automatic use of OpenSSL. (remm)
- 59151: Fix a regression in the fix for 56917 that added additional (and arguably unnecessary) validation to the provided redirect location. (markt)
- 59154: Fix a `NullPointerException` in the `JAASMemoryLoginModule` resulting from the introduction of the `CredentialHandler` to `Realm`s. (schultz/markt)

- Document `test.threads` option in BUILDING.txt. (kkolinko)
- Correct an error in the documentation of the expected behaviour for automatic deployment. If a WAR is updated and an expanded directory is present, the directory will always be deleted and recreated by expanding the WAR if `unpackWARs` is `true`. (markt)
- 58935: Remove incorrect references in the documentation to using `jar:file:` URLs with the Manager application. (markt)
- Correct the description of the `ServletRequest.getServerPort()` in Proxy How-To. Issue reported via comments.apache.org. (violetagg)
