Tomcat 5?

[Phil Chuang]

So, anybody use Tomcat 5? What's the status of it, when will it be ready, etc.? Any real reason to jump over from 4.1.x?

[Mike Curwen]

If you want to know the status of 5, subscribing to tomcat-user is recommended.

Any time a new beta is released, it is announced on this group.

There is also a FAQ regarding Tomcat releases:

Although, they need to update the section on 5.x. It's no longer alpha, it's beta at 5.0.14
