Let the RemoteCIDRValve inherit from RequestFilterValve and support all of its features. Especially add support for connector specific configuration using addConnectorPort. (rjung)
Add peerAddress to coyote request, which contains the IP address of the direct connection peer. If a reverse proxy sits in front of Tomcat and the protocol used is AJP or HTTP in combination with the RemoteIp(Valve|Filter), the peer address might differ from the remoteAddress. The latter then contains the address of the client in front of the reverse proxy, not the address of the proxy itself. Support for the peer address has been added to the RemoteAddrValve and RemoteCIDRValve with the new attribute usePeerAddress. This can be used to restrict access to Tomcat based on the reverse proxy IP address, which is especially useful to harden access to AJP connectors. The peer address can also be logged in the access log using the new %{peer}a syntax. (rjung)

WebSocket

Remove the STREAMS_DROP_EMPTY_MESSAGES system property that was introduced to work-around four failing TCK tests. An alternative solution has been implemented. Sending messages via getSendStream() and getSendWriter() will now only result in messages on the wire if data is written to the OutputStream or Writer. Writing zero length data will result in an empty message. Note that sending a message via an Encoder may result in the message being send via getSendStream() or getSendWriter(). (markt)

62036: When caching an authenticated user Principal in the session when the web application is configured with the NonLoginAuthenticator, cache the internal Principal object rather than the user facing Principal object as Tomcat requires the internal object to correctly process later authorization checks. (markt)
Refactor error handling to enable errors that occur before processing is passed to the application to be handled by the application provided error handling and/or the container provided error handling (ErrorReportValve) as appropriate. (markt)
Pass 404 errors triggered by a missing ROOT web application to the container error handling to generate the response body. (markt)

Ensure that the toString(), toBytes() and toChars() methods of MessageBytes behave consistently and do not throw a NullPointerException both on newly created objects and immediately after a call to recycle(). This should not impact typical Tomcat users. It may impact users who use these classes directly in their own code. (markt)
When processing an HTTP 1.0 request in the HTTP connector and no host information is provided in the request, obtain the server port from the local port rather than the connector configuration since the configured value maybe zero. (markt)
Enable strict validation of the provided host name and port for all connectors. Requests with invalid host names and/or ports will be rejected with a 400 response. (markt)
Update the host validation to permit host names and components of domain names (excluding top-level domains) to start with a number and to ensure that top-level domains are fully alphabetic. (markt)
62053: Fix NPE when writing push headers with HTTP/2 NIO2. Patch submitted by Holger Sunke. (remm)

Jasper

Include an HTTP Allow header when a JSP generates a 405 response due to a request with an unsupported method. (markt)

When using WebDAV to copy a file resource to a destination that requires a collection to be overwritten, ensure that the operation succeeds rather than fails (with a 500 response). This enables Tomcat to pass two additional tests from the Litmus WebDAV test suite. (markt)
Modify the Default and WebDAV Servlets so that a 405 status code is returned for PUT and DELETE requests when disabled via the readonly initialisation parameter.
Align the contents of the Allow header with the response code for the Default and WebDAV Servlets. For any given resource a method that returns a 405 status code will not be listed in the Allow header and a method listed in the Allow header will not return a 405 status code. (markt)

59031: When using the Windows uninstaller, do not remove the contents of any directories that have been symlinked into the Tomcat directory structure. (markt)
Update the packaged version of the Tomcat Native Library to 1.2.5 to pick up the Windows binaries that are based on OpenSSL 1.0.2g and APR 1.5.1. (markt)
Modify the default tomcat-users.xml file to make it harder for users to configure the entries intended for use with the examples web application for the Manager application. (markt)

General

Allow to configure multiple JUnit test class patterns with the build property test.name and document the property in BUILDING.txt. (rjung)

Catalina

Protect initialization of ResourceLinkFactory when running with a SecurityManager. (kkolinko)

Correct a regression in the connector refactoring in 9.0.0.M2 that broke TLS support for the APR/native connector. (remm)
Correct an NPE when listing the enabled ciphers (e.g. via the Manager web application) for a TLS enabled APR/native connector. (markt)
New configuration option ajpFlush for the AJP connectors to disable the sending of AJP flush packets. (rjung)
Handle the case in the NIO connector where the required TLS buffer sizes increase after the connection has been initiated. (markt)

Refactor creation of MapperListener to ensure that the Mapper used is the Mapper associated with the Service for which the listener was created. (markt)
Move the functionality that provides redirects for context roots and directories where a trailing / is added from the Mapper to the DefaultServlet. This enables such requests to be processed by any configured Valves and Filters before the redirect is made. This behaviour is configurable via the mapperContextRootRedirectEnabled and mapperDirectoryRedirectEnabled attributes of the Context which may be used to restore the previous behaviour. (markt)
Refactor Service.getContainer() to return an Engine rather than a Container. (markt)
34319: Only load those keys in StoreBase.processExpire from JDBCStore, that are old enough, to be expired. Based on a patch by Tom Anderson. (fschumacher)
56917: As per RFC7231 (HTTP/1.1), allow HTTP/1.1 and later redirects to use relative URIs. This is controlled by a new attribute useRelativeRedirects on the Context and defaults to true. (markt)
58629: Allow an embedded Tomcat instance to start when the Service has no Engine configured. (markt)
Correctly notify the MapperListener associated with a Service if the Engine for that Service is changed. (markt)
Make a web application's CredentialHandler available through a context attribute. This allows a web application to use the same algorithm for validating or generating new stored credentials from cleartext ones. (schultz)
58635: Enable break points to be set within agent code when running Tomcat with a Java agent. Based on a patch by Huxing Zhang. (markt)
Fixed potential NPE in HostConfig while deploying an application. Issue reported by coverity scan. (violetagg)
58655: Fix an IllegalStateException when calling HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect() with the RemoteIpFilter. This was caused by trying to correctly generate the absolute URI for the redirect. With the fix for 56917, redirects may now be relative making the sendRedirect() implementation for the RemoteIpFilter much simpler. This also addresses issues where the redirect may not have behaved as expected when redirecting from http to https to from https to http. (markt)
58657: Exceptions in a Servlet 3.1 ReadListener or WriteListener do not need to be immediately fatal to the connection. Allow an error response to be written. (markt)
Correct implementation of validateClientProvidedNewSessionId so client provided session IDs may be rejected if validation is enabled. (markt)
58701: Reset the instanceInitialized field in StandardWrapper when unloading a Servlet so that a new instance may be correctly initialized. (markt)
Add a new flag aprPreferred to the Apr listener. if set to false, when using the connector defaults, it will use NIO + OpenSSL if tomcat-native is available, rather than the APR connector. (remm)
Add path parameter handling to HttpServletRequest.getContextPath(). This is a follow-up to the fix for 57215. (markt)
58692: Make StandardJarScanner more robust. Log a warning if a class path entry cannot be scanned rather than triggering the failure of the web application. Includes a test case written by Derek Abdine. (markt)
58702: Ensure an access log entry is generated if the client aborts the connection. (markt)
Fixed various issues reported by Findbugs. (violetagg)
58735: Add support for the X-XSS-Protection header to the HttpHeaderSecurityFilter. Patch provided by Jacopo Cappellato. (markt)
Add the StatusManagerServlet to the list of Servlets that can only be loaded by privileged applications. (markt)
Simplify code and fix messages in org.apache.catalina.core.DefaultInstanceManager class. (kkolinko)
58751: Correctly handle the case where an AsyncListener dispatches to a Servlet on an asynchronous timeout and the Servlet uses sendError() to trigger an error page. Includes a test case based on code provided by Andy Wilkinson.(markt)
Ensure that the proper file encoding if specified will be used when a readme file is served by DefaultServlet. (violetagg)
Fix declaration of localPort attribute of Connector MBean: it is read-only. (kkolinko)
58766: Make skipping non-class files during annotation scanning faster by checking the file name first. Improve debug logging. (kkolinko)
58836: Correctly merge query string parameters when processing a forwarded request where the target includes a query string that contains a parameter with no value. (markt/kkolinko)
Make sure that shared Digester is reset in an unlikely error case in HostConfig.deployWAR(). (kkolinko)
Extend the feature available in the cluster session manager implementations that enables session attribute replication to be filtered based on attribute name to all session manager implementations. Note that configuration attribute name has changed from sessionAttributeFilter to sessionAttributeNameFilter. Apply the filter on load as well as unload to ensure that configuration changes made while the web application is stopped are applied to any persisted data. (markt)
Extend the session attribute filtering options to include filtering based on the implementation class of the value and optional WARN level logging if an attribute is filtered. These options are available for all of the Manager implementations that ship with Tomcat. When a SecurityManager is used filtering will be enabled by default. (markt)
Remove distributable and maxInactiveInterval from the Manager interface because the attributes are never used. The equivalent attributes from the Context always take precedence. (markt)
58867: Improve checking on Host start for WAR files that have been modified while Tomcat has stopped and re-expand them if unpackWARs is true. (markt)
58900: Correctly undeploy symlinked resources and prevent an infinite cycle of deploy / undeploy. (markt)

58621: The certificate chain cannot be set using the main certificate attribute, so restore the certificate chain property. (remm)
Allow a new SSL config type where a connector can use either JSSE or OpenSSL. Both could be allowed, but it would likely create support issues. This type is used by the OpenSSL implementation for NIOx. (remm)
Improve upgrade context classloader handling by using Context.bind and unbind. (remm)
Improve OpenSSL keystore/truststore configuration by using the code from the JSSE implementation. (remm, jfclere)
Fix a potential loop when a client drops the connection unexpectedly. (markt)
OpenSSL renegotiation support for client certificate authentication. (remm)
Fix NIO connector renegotiation. (remm)
58659: Fix a potential deadlock during HTTP/2 processing when the connection window size is limited. (markt)

Fix potential integer overflow in DeltaSession. Reported by coverity scan. (fschumacher)
In order to avoid that the heartbeat thread and the background thread to run Channel.heartbeat simultaneously, if heartbeatBackgroundEnabled of SimpleTcpCluster set to true, ensure that the heartbeat thread does not start. (kfujino)

WebSocket

55006: The WebSocket client now honors the java.net.java.net.ProxySelector configuration (using the HTTP type) when establishing WebSocket connections to servers. Based on a patch by Niki Dokovski. (markt)
58624: Correct a potential deadlock if the WebSocket connection is closed when a message write is in progress. (markt)
57489: Ensure onClose() is called when a WebSocket connection is closed even if the sending of the close message fails. Includes test cases by Barry Coughlan. (markt)

Web Applications

58631: Correct the continuation character use in the Windows Service How-To page of the documentation web application. (markt)
Correct the SSL documentation for deprecated attributes to point to the correct, new location for attributes related to individual certificates. (markt)

When using a static cluster, add the members that have been cached in the membership service to the map members list in order to ensure that the map member is a static member. (kfujino)
Add support for the startup notification of local members in the static cluster. (kfujino)
Ignore the unnecessary member remove operation from different domain. (kfujino)
Add support for the shutdown notification of local members in the static cluster. (kfujino)

57108: Add support for Server Name Indication (SNI). There has been significant changes to the SSL configuration in server.xml to support this. (markt)
Add SSL engine for JSSE backed by OpenSSL. Includes ALPN support. Based on code contributed by Numa de Montmollin and derived from code developed by Twitter and Netty. (remm)
RFC 7230 states that clients should ignore reason phrases in HTTP/1.1 response messages. Since the reason phrase is optional, Tomcat no longer sends it. As a result the system property org.apache.coyote.USE_CUSTOM_STATUS_MSG_IN_HEADER is no longer used and has been removed. (markt)
The minimum required Tomcat Native version has been increased to 1.2.2. The 1.2.x branch includes ALPN and SNI support which are required for HTTP/2. (markt)
Add support for HTTP/2 including server push. (markt)

Tribes

Clarify the handling of Copy message and Copy nodes. (kfujino)
