Overview

This page provides a high-level view of each of the past, current and planned major Tomcat versions.

...

The "Process" field in the following tables documents what development model is accepted by that project, either Review-Then-Commit or Commit-Then-Review. For RTC model the changes are first proposed in the STATUS.txt file in the root of the project and have to gain at least 3 "+1" votes before being applied. The project members have agreed on several exceptions from the RTC rule (documented below).

RTC Exceptions

The following are exceptions to the Review-Than-Commit rule.

  • Changes to the documentation (including Javadoc) are C-T-R.

Via http https://tomcat.markmail.org/thread/2fgydrrhn4qjye3r :

  • Allow C-T-R for trivial fixes to English messages that are in resource files and those that are inline in the code. This includes typos and rephrasing, but does not include adding/removing message parameters.
  • Allow C-T-R for any fixes for non-English resource files. The files must use 7-bit characters only. Other symbols must be escaped with \u, as does native2ascii.
  • Require some indication in the commit message for code that usually is covered by RTC, that this commit was done using C-T-R rule.

Via http https://tomcat.markmail.org/thread/vwqvurietvliadjf :

  • The versions that were moved to the archive are C-T-R.
