			Tomcat 3.3.1 Release Plan 
			=========================

Objective: 

    The objective of the proposed 3.3.1 release is to provide a bug fix
    update to Tomcat 3.3. 


Tomcat 3.3.1 Beta 1 Release:

	Code Freeze/Tag Date:	Jan 27, 2002
	Release Manager:	Larry Isaacs

        Prior to this release, the following issues need to be
        addressed:

	Issue  Description 
        1      Must be able to compile and run under JDK 1.1.8
               FIXED
        2      Address Cactus failures running with Tomcat 3.3
               Diagnosed as Cactus leaving unread POST data.
               A configurable delay is available to help ensure
               Tomcat is able to flush this unread data if necessary.
