    Hi all,

    It looks like at least one of the specs Tomcat implements, Servlets, is
    going to have at least one release between Jakarta EE 9 / Servlet 5.0 /
    Tomcat 10.0 and Jakarta EE 10/ Servlet 6.0 / Tomcat 10.1

    The current plan is for Servlet 5.1 to add same site cookie
    configuration and pick up any other low hanging fruit (mostly clean-up &
    clarification) from the issues list.

    I'm currently trying to figure out what this means in terms of Tomcat
    releases. It may be that other specs do something similar. If enough
    specs do that, it may turn into a relatively quick Jakarta EE 10.

    My current thinking is treat such releases the way we used to treat
    maintenance releases of the specs. That would mean updating Tomcat to
    the 5.1 release once available but not change in major or minor version.
    Another way of looking at it is that Tomcat 10.0.x will support the
    latest released version of Servlet 5.x and Tomcat 10.1.x will support
    the latest released version of Servlet 6.x.

Sounds good. Should we go to 10.5 rather than 10.1? While the numbers don't 
mean much, we haven't had anything but .0 and .5 in a fairly long time. 

    Thoughts?

    Mark
