Apache Tomcat 7 is finally here! This is the first major Apache Tomcat version update in over 3 years. A lot of new features and enhancements that make this new release easier to use, faster and more reliable. This version now supports Servlets 3.0, JSP 2.2 and EL 2.2. It includes improvements such as web application memory leak detection and prevention (new features in manager and admin web ui), asynchronous support, annotation-based configuration, improved session tracking, and method invocation using expression language. List goes on. The Tomcat code-base itself has been cleaned up and extremely optimized for high performance, stability and security.

We are still offering 5.5 and 6, but for those of you on the cutting edge, 7 is ready to go.

Keep on coding!
