> > | Add a warning if the thread group created for WebSocket asynchronous write call backs can not be destroyed when the web application is stopped. (markt)
> > | Ensure that threads created to support WebSocket clients are stopped when no longer required. This will happen automatically for WebSocket client connections initiated by web applications but stand alone clients must call `WsWebSocketContainer.destroy()`. (markt)
> > | 56449: When creating a new session, add the message handlers to the session before calling `Endpoint.onOpen()` so the message handlers are in place should the `onOpen()` method trigger the sending of any messages. (markt)
> > | 56458: Report WebSocket sessions that are created over secure connections as secure rather than as not secure. (markt)

> > | 56219: Improve merging process for web.xml files to take account of the elements and attributes supported by the Servlet version of the merged file. (markt)
> > | 56190: The response should be closed (i.e. no further output is permitted) when a call to `AsyncContext.complete()` takes effect. (markt)
> > | 56236: Enable Tomcat to work with alternative Servlet and JSP API JARs that package the XML schemas in such as way as to require a dependency on the JSP API before enabling validation for web.xml. Tomcat has no such dependency. (markt)
> > | 56246: Fix NullPointerException in MemoryRealm when authenticating an unknown user. (markt)
> > | 56248: Allow the deployer to update an existing WAR file without undeploying the existing application if the update flag is set. This allows any existing custom context.xml for the application to be retained. To update an application and remove any existing context.xml simply undeploy the old version of the application before deploying the new version. (markt)
> > | Fix CVE-2014-0096: Redefine the `globalXsltFile` initialisation parameter of the DefaultServlet as relative to CATALINA_BASE/conf or CATALINA_HOME/conf. Prevent user supplied XSLTs used by the DefaultServlet from defining external entities. (markt)
> > | Add a work around for validating XML documents (often TLDs) that use just the file name to refer to the JavaEE schema on which they are based. (markt)
> > | 56293: Cache resources loaded by the class loader from `/META-INF/services/` for better performance for repeated look ups. (markt)
> Coyote
> > | 53119: Make sure the NIO AJP output buffer is cleared on any error to prevent any possible overflow if it is written to again before the connection is closed. This extends the original fix for the APR/native output buffer to the NIO connector. (kkolinko)
> > | 56172: Avoid possible request corruption when using the AJP NIO connector and a request is sent using more than one AJP message. Patch provided by Amund Elstad. (markt)

> > | 56304: Add a note to the documentation about not using WebSocket with BIO HTTP in production. (markt)
> Other
> > | 56143: Improve `service.bat` so that it can be launched from a non-UAC console. This includes using a single call to `tomcat7.exe` to install the Windows service rather than three calls, and using command line arguments instead of environment variables to pass the settings. (markt/kkolinko)
> > | Fix regression in 7.0.52: when using `service.bat install` to install the service the values for --StdOutput, --StdError options were passed as blank instead of "auto". (kkolinko)
> > | Align options between `service.bat` and `exe` Windows installer. For `service.bat` the changes are in --Classpath, --DisplayName, --StartPath, --StopPath. For `exe` installer the changes are in --JvmMs, --JvmMx options, which are now 128 Mb and 256 Mb respectively instead of being empty. Explicitly specify --LogPath path when uninstalling Windows service, avoiding default value for that option. (kkolinko)
> > | Simplify Windows *.bat files: remove %OS% checks, as java 6 does not run on ancient non-NT operating systems. (kkolinko)
> > | 56137: Explicitly use the BIO connector in the SSL example in server.xml so it doesn't break if APR is enabled. (markt)
> > | 56139: Avoid a web application class loader leak in some unit tests when running on Windows. (markt)

> > | 55943: Improve the implementation of the class loader check that prevents web applications from trying to override J2SE implementation classes. As part of this fix, refactor the way a null parent class loader is handled which enables a number of null checks and object creation calls to be removed. Note that this change means that, by default, the web application class loader is now a higher priority for loading classes than the system class loader. (markt)

> > | 56010: Don't throw an `IllegalArgumentException` when `JspFactory.getPageContext` is used with `JspWriter.DEFAULT_BUFFER`. Based on a patch by Eugene Chung. (markt)
> > | 56012: When using the extends attribute of the page directive do not import the super class if it is in an unnamed package as imports from unnamed packages are now explicitly illegal. (markt)
> > | 56029: A regression in the fix for 55198 meant that when EL containing a ternary expression was used in an attribute a compilation error would occur for some expressions. (markt)
> > | Correct several errors in jspxml Schema and DTD. (kkolinko)

Tomcat 7.0.50 (violetagg) | released 2014-01-08
> Catalina
> > | Handle the case where a `context.xml` file is added to a web application deployed from a directory. Previously the file was ignored until Tomcat was restarted. Now (assuming automatic deployment is enabled) it will trigger a redeploy of the web application. (markt)
> > | Fix string comparison in `HostConfig.setContextClass()`. (kkolinko)
> > | Streamline handling of WebSocket messages when no handler is configured for the message currently being received. (markt)
> > | Handle the case where a WebSocket annotation configures a message size limit larger than the default permitted by Tomcat. (markt)
> > | 55855: This is a partial fix that bypasses the relatively expensive check for a WebSocket upgrade request if no WebSocket endpoints have been registered. (markt)
> > | 55905: Prevent a NPE when web.xml references a taglib file that does not exist. Provide better error message. (violetagg)
> Coyote
> > | When using the BIO connector with an internal executor, do not display a warning that the executor has not shutdown as the default configuration for BIO connectors is not to wait. This is because threads in keep-alive connections cannot be interrupted and therefore the warning was nearly always displayed. (markt)
> Jasper
> > | JspC uses servlet context initialization parameters to pass configuration so ensure that the servlet context used supports initialization parameters. (markt)
> Cluster
> > | In `AbstractReplicatedMap#finalize`, remove rpcChannel from channel Listener of group channel before sending `MapMessage.MSG_STOP` message. This prevents that the node that sent the `MapMessage.MSG_STOP` by normal shutdown is added to member map again by ping at heartbeat thread in the node that received the `MapMessage.MSG_STOP`. (kfujino)
> > | Add time stamp to `GET_ALL_SESSIONS` message. (kfujino)

> > | 55681: Ensure that the WebSocket session is made available to `MessageHandler` method calls. (markt)
> > | Updated servlet spec version and documentation section-number reported when JAR files are rejected for containing a trigger class (e.g. javax.servlet.Servlet). (schultz)
> > | Modify the WebSocket handshake process so that the user properties `Map` exposed by the `ServerEndpointConfig` during the call to `Configurator.modifyHandshake()` is unique to the connection rather than shared by all connections associated with the Endpoint. This allows for easier configuration of per connection properties from within `modifyHandshake()`. (markt)
> > | 55684: Log a warning but continue if the memory leak detection code is unable to access all threads to check for possible memory leaks when a web application is stopped. (markt)
> > | Define the web-fragment.xml in tomcat7-websocket.jar as a Servlet 3.0 web fragment rather than as a Servlet 3.1 web fragment. (markt)
> > | 55715: Add a per web application executor to the WebSocket implementation and use it for calling `SendHandler.onResult()` when there is a chance that the current thread also initiated the write. (markt)
> > | Prevent file descriptors leak and ensure that files are closed when configuring the web application. (violetagg)
> > | Fixed the name of the provider-configuration file located in `tomcat7-websocket.jar!/META-INF/services` that exposes information for `javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpointConfig$Configurator` implementation. (violetagg)
> > | 55760: Remove the unnecessary setting of the `javax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly` system property in the `SpnegoAuthenticator` as in addition to it being unnecessary, it causes problems with using SPNEGO with IBM JDKs. Patch provided by Arunav Sanyal. (markt)
> > | 55772: Ensure that the request and response are recycled after an error during asynchronous processing. Includes a test case based on code contributed by Todd West. (markt)
> > | 55778: Add an option to the JNDI Realm to control the QOP used for the connection to the LDAP server after authentication when using SPNEGO with delegated credentials. This value is used to set the `javax.security.sasl.qop` environment property for the LDAP connection. (markt)
> > | 55798: Log an error if the MemoryUserDatabase is unable to find the specified user database file. (markt)
> > | 55799: Correctly enforce the restriction in JSR356 that no more than one data message may be sent to a remote WebSocket endpoint at a time. (markt)
> > | When Catalina parses TLD files, always use a namespace aware parser to be consistent with how Jasper parses TLD files. The `tldNamespaceAware` attribute of the Context is now ignored. (markt)
> > | Deprecate the `tldNamespaceAware` Context attribute as TLDs are always parsed with a namespace aware parser. (markt)

> > | Add support for defining `copyXML` on a per Context basis. (markt)
> > | Define the expected behaviour of the automatic deployment and align the implementation to that definition. (markt)
> > | When running under a security manager, change the default value of the Host's `deployXML` attribute to `false`. (markt)
> > | If a Host is configured with a value of `false` for `deployXML`, a web application has an embedded descriptor at `META-INF/context.xml` and no explicit descriptor has been defined for this application, do not allow the application to start. The reason for this is that the embedded descriptor may contain configuration necessary for secure operation such as a `RemoteAddrValve`. (markt)
> > | Prevent an NPE in the WebSocket `ServerContainer` when processing an HTTP session end event. (markt)
> > | 55801: Add the ability to set a custom `SSLContext` to use for client wss connections. Patch provided by Maciej Lypik. (markt)

> > | 55749: Improve the error message when `SSLEngine` is disabled in the `AprLifecycleListener` and SSL is configured for an APR/native connector. (markt)
> > | If a request that includes an `Expect: 100-continue` header receives anything other than a 2xx response, close the connection This protects against misbehaving clients that may not sent the request body in that case and send the next request instead. (markt)
> > | Improve the parsing of trailing headers in HTTP requests. (markt)
> Jasper
> > | 55735: Fix a regression caused by the fix to 55198. When processing JSP documents, attributes in XML elements that are template content should have their text xml-escaped, but output of EL expressions in them should not be escaped. (markt)
> > | 55807: The JSP compiler used a last modified time of -1 for TLDs in JARs expanded in to WEB-INF/classes (IDEs often do this expansion) when creating the dependency list for JSPs that used that TLD. This meant JSPs using that TLD were recompiled on every access. (markt)

> > | Use the newly added improved UTF-8 decoder for decoding UTF-8 encoded URIs and UTF-8 encoded request bodies. Invalid UTF-8 URIs will not cause an error but will make use of the replacement character when an error is detected. This will allow web applications to handle the URI which will most likely result in a 404 response. The fall-back to decoding with ISO-8859-1 if UTF-8 decoding fails has been removed. Invalid UTF-8 sequences in a request body will trigger an IOException. The way the decoder is used has also been improved. The notable change is that invalid sequences at the end of the input now trigger an error rather than being silently swallowed. (markt)

Once deployment of a web application fails in one form (e.g. WAR), no further attempt (e.g. directory) will be made to deploy that web application. The base Lifecycle implementation has been improved to allow failed web applications to be started once the configuration issues have been resolved.

> > | 48685: Add initial support for SPNEGO/Kerberos authentication also referred to as integrated Windows authentication. This includes user authentication, authorisation via the directory using the user's delegated credentials and exposing the user's delegated credentials via a request attribute so applications can make use of them to impersonate the current user when accessing third-party systems that use a compatible authentication mechanism. Based on a patch provided by Michael Osipov. (markt)

> > | 22405: Add a new Lifecycle listener, `org.apache.catalina.security.SecurityListener` that prevents Tomcat from starting insecurely. It requires that Tomcat is not started as root and that a umask at least as restrictive as 0007 is used. This new listener is not enabled by default. (markt)
> > | 48863: Better logging when specifying an invalid directory for a class loader. Based on a patch by Ralf Hauser. (markt/kkolinko)
> > | 48870: Refactor to remove use of parallel arrays. (markt)

> > | If server configuration errors and/or faulty applications caused the ulimit for open files to be reached, the acceptor threads for all connectors could enter a tight loop. This loop consumed CPU and also logged an error message for every iteration of the loop which lead to large log files being generated. The acceptors have been enhanced to better handle this situation. (markt)
