Apache Tomcat: New and Upcoming
summary
Tomcat moves to Java 11 and a 10.1 branch that requires newer JVMs, adds Jakarta EE migration tool integrated into auto-deploy (demoed converting the examples app), and enables unix domain socket support for NIO connectors (curl demoed over a socket). Connectors drop APR/native; HTTP/2 gets window‑update and TLS fixes. Session and user storage shift to data source user database for better scalability. Several security bugs are fixed and Tomcat 7 reaches end of life.
