The proposed Apache Tomcat 8.5.72 release is now available for voting.

The notable changes compared to 8.5.71 are:

- Further robustness improvements to HTTP/2 flow control window
     management

- Fix an issue that caused some Servlet non-blocking API reads of the
     HTTP request body to incorrectly use blocking IO.

Along with lots of other bug fixes and improvements.

I forgot to close vim after editing the build.properties.default file, so this was included in the distribution. I'll take more care in the future. We could also add an <excludes> filter to the build to prevent these kinds of files from being added, too. I can look into that.

1. Maven repo is still 404, and

Apologies for forgetting to close the Maven repo. Please check again.

2. Tomcat 8.5.72 is unusable with Java 17
unless ecj-4.6.3.jar is replaced with a later version. See
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65599

Tested on Windows 10.
Smoke tests OK with Java 7 (7u80)
Unit tests pass with Java 7, 8 and 11. (32-bit 7u80, 64-bit 8u302, 11.0.12).

Smoke tests and Unit tests fail with Java 17 (17.0.0):
I added details to  https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65599#c2

Error handling in that case could be better,
but as this is not a regression (occurs with 8.5.71 as well, as
originally reported)
and there is no fix for the root cause, I do not consider it a showstopper.

Thanks for testing this. It's probably worth adding this fact (won't work on Java 17 without a manual-upgrade of ecj) to the Notable Changes for Tomcat 8.5. It's not really a "notable change" but it's worth mentioning someplace specific.

I wonder whether now is the good time to decide on EOL schedule for Tomcat 8.5.

I think that needs to have more to do with the availability of stable Tomcat 10.1 than anything else.
