Please see the RELEASE-NOTES file in the top level directory of this release for important information about recent bug fixes and known issues.
This version of Tomcat can use either WARP 1.0 or AJP 1.3 to connect to native webservers. A wide assortment of connectors are available in the jakarta-tomcat-connectors binary folder.
NOTE: The tar files in this distribution use GNU tar extensions,
and must be untarred with a GNU compatible version of tar. The version
of tar on Solaris and Mac OS X will not work with
these files.
SECURITY: This release fixes a security hole dicovered in Tomcat 4.0.5 which allows JSP source disclosure. A patch is available here for Tomcat 4.0.5 as an alternative to upgrading.
Thank you for using Tomcat!.
