I tested: - tar.gz binaries on Linux (64-bit, with a 32-bit Hotspot JVM) - installer GUI and Windows service on Windows XP (32-bit, with a 32-bit Hotspot JVM) Here's what I tested on Linux: - deployments via the manager - ran several different webapps, both simple and complex - HTTP and HTTPS BIO connectors - JMX connector, context, and other metrics - Stopping, starting, and reloading contexts I tested more lightly on Windows, but the installer and the new procrun binaries worked fine for me on the first try. Overall, it seems noticeably faster, much cleaner code, and much nicer features for webapp developers. I've also had users tell me that their memory leak problems are almost gone now with the most recent Tomcat 6, but when they try the same thing with the most recent Tomcat 7 the leaks are 100% gone. I think this makes Tomcat 7 the best choice. I'm happy to vote stable on Tomcat 7. Congratulations, all around! Cheers! -- Jason Brittain
