> > | 55268: Added optional --service-start-wait-time command-line option to change service start wait time from default of 10 seconds.
> > | The `contextClass` attribute of `HostConfig` refers to the value of the `contextClass` attribute of Host. (kfujino)
> > | 55331: Dispatching to an asychronous servlet from `AsyncListener.onTimeout()` should not trigger an `IllegalStateException`. (markt)

> > | 55404: Log warnings about using security roles in web.xml without defining them as warnings. (markt)
> > | 55439: Don't try a forced stop when `stop -force` is used if Tomcat has already been stopped. This avoids error messages when the PID file has been cleared. If a forced stop is required, improve handling of the case when the PID file can be read from or written to but not deleted. (markt)
> > | 55454: Avoid NPE when parsing an incorrect content type. (violetagg)
> > | Back-port the JSR-356 Java WebSocket 1.0 implementation from Tomcat 8. Note that use of this functionality requires Java 7. (markt)

> > | 55494: Reduce severity of log message from warning to information for JNDI Realm connection issues where the JNDI Realm automatically re-tries the action that failed. Make clear in the log message that the action is being re-tried. (markt)
> > | Correct several incorrect formats of `JdkLoggerFormatter`. (kfujino)
> > | 55521: Ensure that calls to `HttpSession.invalidate()` do not return until the session has been invalidated. Also ensure that checks on the validity of a session return a result consistent with any previous call to `HttpSession.invalidate()`. (markt)
> > | 55524: Refactor to avoid a possible deadlock when handling an `IOException` during output when using Tomcat' proprietary (and deprecated) WebSocket API. (markt)
> > | The loaded attribute never exists in `PersistentManager`. isLoaded is defined as operation in mbeans-descriptors. (kfujino)
> > | Added logging of logging.properties location when system property `org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager.debug=true` is set.
> > | 55570: Correctly log exceptions for all error conditions in the SPNEGO authenticator. (markt)

> Coyote

> > | 55228: Allow web applications to set a HTTP Date header. (markt)
> > | Expose the current connection count for each protocol handler via JMX. (markt)
> > | 55267: If an application configures a timeout for a Comet connection ensure it is only used for read and not write operations. This prevents a long timeout delaying the closing of the socket associated with a Comet connection after an error occurs. (markt)
> > | Ensure that `java.lang.VirtualMachineError`s are not swallowed when using the HTTP or AJP NIO connectors. (markt)
> > | 55399: Use the response locale to select the language to use for the status message in the HTTP response. (markt)
> > | Refactor the connectors to support the new JSR-356 Java WebSocket 1.0 implementation. The most noticeable change is that the AJP APR/native and HTTP APR/native connectors no longer support multiple poller threads. Both connectors now use a single poller thread. (markt)
> > | Internally, content length is managed as a `long`. Fix a few places in the AJP connector where this was restricted to an `int`. (markt)
> > | 55453: Ensure that the AJP connector does not permit response bodies to be included for responses with status codes and/or request methods that are not permitted to have a response body. (markt)
> > | 55500: Don't ignore the value of an asynchronous context timeout when using the AJP NIO connector. (markt)
> > | Better adherence to RFC2616 for content-length headers. (markt)
> > | Add support for limiting the size of chunk extensions when using chunked encoding. (markt)
> > | Update the APR/native connector to version 1.1.28. Make this the minimum acceptable version as the correct behaviour of the JSR-356 WebSocket implementation when using the APR/native HTTP connector depends on a bug fix in the 1.1.28 release. (markt)

> > | Ensure that `javax.el.BeanELResolver.getFeatureDescriptors(ELContext,Object)` and `javax.el.BeanELResolver.getCommonPropertyType(ELContext,Object)` do not throw `NullPointerException` when the provided context is null. (violetagg)

> Cluster

> > | Add new attribute terminateOnStartFailure. Set to true if you wish to terminate replication map when replication map fails to start. If replication map is terminated, associated context will fail to start. If you set this attribute to false, replication map does not end. It will try to join the map membership in the heartbeat.

> > 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)

> > 53257: Ensure that resources, including JSP files, that have names that include characters with special meanings in URLs (such as ampersand, semicolon, plus, hash and percent) are correctly handled. This bug is partially a regression caused by the original fix for 51584 and partially an existing issue that had not previously been identified. This fix reverts the original fix for 51584, correctly fixes that issue and fixes the additional issues identified by the test cases that were also added as part of this fix. (markt/kkolinko)

> > | 51972: Correctly handle protocol relative URLs when used with `sendRedirect()`. (markt)
> > | Simplify the deployment code and use full paths in log messages to remove any ambiguity in where a context is being deployed from. (markt)
> > | 52009: Fix a NPE during access log entry recording when an error occurred during the processing of a Comet request. (markt)

> > Improve handling of failed web application deployments during automatic deployment. 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. Any changes to a context.xml file (global, per host or web application specific) will now result in a redeploy of the affected web application(s) that ensures that any changes are correctly applied rather than a reload which ignores changes in context.xml files.
