What’s new in version 10.1.18

Catalina

Update: 68378: Align extension to MIME type mappings in the global web.xml with those in httpd by adding application/vnd.geogebra.slides for ggs, text/javascript for mjs and audio/ogg for opus. (markt)

Coyote

Fix: Refactor the VirtualThreadExecutor so that it can be used by the NIO2 connector which was using platform threads even when configured to use virtual threads. (markt)
Fix: Correct a regression in the fix for 67675 that broke TLS key file parsing for PKCS#8 format keys that do not specify an explicit pseudo-random function and rely on the default. This typically affects keys generated by OpenSSL 1.0.2. (markt)
Fix: Allow multiple operations with the same name on introspected mbeans, fixing a regression caused by the introduction of a second addSslHostConfig method. (remm)
Fix: Relax the check that the HTTP Host header is consistent with the host used in the request line, if any, to make the check case insensitive since host names are case insensitive. (markt)
Add: 68348: Add support for the partitioned attribute for cookies including session cookies. (markt)

Web Applications

Fix: 68035: Additional fix to the Manager application to enable the deployment of a web application located in a Host's appBase where the web application is specified by a bare (no path) WAR or directory name as shown in the documentation. (markt)

Update: Update SpotBugs to 4.8.3. (markt)

Why are there still 20 year old reviews of this app? Or even 10 years old? Nothing from those old version still apply. Clean up this misinformation.

Don't know if I'm mistaken or not, but it says here you must have Tiger or higher AND Java 6, but far as I know, Java 6 can't be installed in Tiger, unless you want to go SoyBean... Wouldn't it be better to say "Leopard and above", knowing that you can install Java 6 on Leopard with a little tinkering? Aside from that, it's really a nice app, with a good-looking interface, that really lets you manage the server end.

Wow - that was *easy* to install. I remember the last time I tried to install Jakarta Tomcat a couple of years ago, it was a bit tricker than this.. This time, I just downloaded it, gunzipped it, untarred it, and it was done.. Just run the bin/startup.sh and you're home free.. Not bad!
