Hi all:
If you are still using tomcat 5, you MUST upgrade NOW, as security fixes
are no longer being made. Go to:
http://tomcat.apache.org/
We strongly recommend jumping to apache 7 (and tds 4.3 and java 7 while
you are at it).
thanks!

The Apache Tomcat team announces that support for Apache Tomcat 5.5.x
will end on 30 September 2012.
This means that after 30 September 2012:
- releases from the 5.5.x branch are highly unlikely
- bugs affecting only the 5.5.x branch will not be addressed
- security vulnerability reports will not be checked against the 5.5.x
branch
Three months later (i.e. after 31 December 2012)
- the 5.5.x download pages will be removed
- the latest 5.5.x release will be removed from the mirror system
- the 5.5.x branch in svn will move from /tomcat/tc5.5.x to
/tomcat/archive/tc5.5.x
- the links to the 5.5.x documentation will be removed from
tomcat.apache.org
- The bugzilla project for 5.5.x will be made read-only

Note that all 5.5.x releases will always be available from the archive.
It is anticipated that the final 5.5.x release will be made shortly
before 30 September 2012.
