The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache Tomcat 7.0.26

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This release is primarily a bug fix release and includes numerous bug fixes compared to version 7.0.25. The notable bug fixes include:

• Improved @HandlesTypes processing which no longer loads all classes on web application start.
• Ensure that POST bodies are available for reply after FORM authentication when using the AJP connectors
• Corrected a regression that broke annotation scanning for many use cases including web applications packaged as WARs and many embedded scenarios.

Please refer to the change log for the complete list of changes:

Note that this version has 4 zip binaries: a generic one and three bundled with Tomcat native binaries for Windows operating systems running on different CPU architectures.
