The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache Tomcat 8.5.5.
Tomcat 8.x users should normally be using 8.5.x releases in preference to 8.0.x releases. Apache Tomcat 8 is an open source software implementation of the Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java Unified Expression Language, Java WebSocket and Java Authentication Service Provider Interface for Containers technologies. Apache Tomcat 8.5.x is intended to replace 8.0.x and includes new features pulled forward from the 9.0.x branch. The notable changes since 8.5.4 include: - Add support for wildcard host names and aliases - Treat paths used to obtain a request dispatcher as encoded (configurable) - Correct regressions in TLS handshake and server certificate handling. - Various improvements to the Rewrite Valve including better alignment with httpd behaviour and improved UTF-8 handling.
