Perhaps not: the current hasOp will return false for supporting TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2. We can catch that in the Java code and report that tcnative does not support it. So we *can* release Tomcat before tcnative: the feature just won't be practical before tcnative sees a release. So, which is more likely to occur first if we release 6.0.36 now: tcnative 1.2.25 or Tomcat 6.0.37? > My opinion is that a 6.0.x release is being waited for a long time. > It is better to release one sooner, as is, > and then have the next release of 6.0.x in ~3 months. > > That said, I do not stop you from implementing your patch.
