Details:

Testing environment: Debian Linux kernel 2.6.32 x86_64 architecture,
Oracle Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_67-b01)

Signatures are good
Source and tarball contain the same things
tcnative builds properly without warnings on GCC 4.7.2
Tomcat builds with minor warnings
Unit tests build with minor warnings
Unit tests pass with expected failures (clustering is known to be
unsupported in my environment)
Test web applications work in development environment

SSL testing
APR connector default (SSLProtocol="all") lacks support for SSLv3:
cannot handshake
APR connector respects choice of individual protocol (e.g. SSLv3,
TLSv1.1, etc.) and always prefers the highest protocol choice available
JSSE connectors (tested NIO in this case) default (sslProtocol="TLS")
lacks support for SSLv3: cannot handshake
JSSE connectors (tested NIO in this case) respect choice of individual
protocol and always prefers the highest protocol choice available
