Announcements from previous years can be found here:
The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 10.1.19 of Apache Tomcat. This release implements specifications that are part of the Jakarta EE 10 platform.
Applications that run on Tomcat 9 and earlier will not run on Tomcat 10
without changes. Java EE based applications designed for Tomcat 9 and earlier
may be placed in the $CATALINA_BASE/webapps-javaee
directory and
Tomcat will automatically convert them to Jakarta EE and copy them to the
webapps directory. This conversion is performed using the
Apache Tomcat
migration tool for Jakarta EE tool which is also available as a separate
download for off-line use.
The notable changes in this release are:
Full details of these changes, and all the other changes, are available in the Tomcat 10.1 changelog.
The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 8.5.99 of Apache Tomcat. This release implements specifications that are part of the Java EE 7 platform. The notable changes compared to 8.5.98 include:
Full details of these changes, and all the other changes, are available in the Tomcat 8 changelog.

The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 9.0.86 of Apache Tomcat. This release implements specifications that are part of the Java EE 8 platform. The notable changes compared to 9.0.85 include:

The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 11.0.0-M17 (alpha) of Apache Tomcat. This release is a milestone release and is targeted at Jakarta EE 11.
Users of Tomcat 10 onwards should be aware that, as a result of the move from
Java EE to Jakarta EE as part of the transfer of Java EE to the Eclipse
Foundation, the primary package for all implemented APIs has changed from
javax.*
to jakarta.*
. This will almost certainly
require code changes to enable applications to migrate from Tomcat 9 and earlier
to Tomcat 10 and later. A
migration
tool is available to aid this process.
