Currently links to the Download pages can be either to the whichversion
[1] page or the version-specific pages, e.g. "Tomcat 9" [2] etc. It
will be very useful to have a generic download.html that is
future-proof. For example, I am writing a blog post ATM and I want to
link to a download page that will work also for future versions of
Tomcat. We can either create a new page for that, or add links to the
whichversion page, which would be easier but not necessarily better.
I can do that myself but wanted your feedback before I make any updates
to the site.
IMHO, just link to the top page, "can be downloaded from tomcat.apache.org".
Yes, for now I will do that. I think that a good solution might be to
link either the Column "Apache Tomcat Version" or "Latest Released
Version" (better, IMO) to the corresponding version download pages.
If no one has an objection I can go ahead and add those links.
I do not think that common landing page for downloads is necessary,
though I have seen projects that have one.
We can discuss what good examples are there.
One certain thing: if such page is made, please make it static so that
Release Managers wouldn't be required to update it for each release.
Definitely. I wouldn't want to make anyone's life harder.
Also we have other projects besides Tomcat here (mod_jk, taglibs, maven plugin).
The top page has one (latest) announcement for each project and those
have a download link.
Also, is Tomcat 9 considered the current Stable version or is it still
in Beta? I don't recall seeing any announcements about it being Stable
but it's possible that I just missed that.
It was not so long ago, though it feels like a lot of time has passed.
All announcements can be found in the "old news" link on the web site,
as well as in multiple archives of the "announcement@tomcat" mailing list.
The actual votes are available in archives of the "VOTE" threads of
dev@. Once a version is votes as "stable", it is announced as stable.
There is not much magic here.
Releases up to 9.0.0.M26 (2017-08-08) were alpha,
9.0.1 (2017-11-30) and 9.0.2 (2017-11-30) were beta,
9.0.4 (2018-01-22) was the first stable release.

Thanks! That's the information I was looking for.
Best,
