The public beta phase is now complete — Tcat Server 6 R1 is now released!
Thanks for all of the help and feedback you gave us during the public beta. We learned quite a bit about what you, the Apache Tomcat community, want in the form of an Enterprise Tomcat server. We made many important changes, added some features, and did a lot of testing.
During the public beta, one thing we learned from your feedback was that a significant percent of your production Tomcat instances are still Tomcat version 5.5, which was a very good release branch of Tomcat. It had significant performance enhancements over 5.0, in addition to memory footprint reductions, and more. We’re not surprised to see many Tomcat 5.5 instances still dutifully serving the web. For these reasons, we’ve added full support for Tomcat 5.5 in the first GA release of Tcat Server — it now supports stable versions of Tomcat 6.0 and Tomcat 5.5.
