> The proposed Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M26 release is now available for voting.
>
> This is a milestone release for the 9.0.x branch. It should be
> noted that, as a milestone release:
> - Servlet 4.0 is not finalised
> - The EGs have not started work on JSP 2.4, EL 3.1 or WebSocket 1.2/2.0
>
> Note that the 9.0.0.M23 and 9.0.0.M24 release votes were cancelled due
> to regressions. The 9.0.0.M25 vote passed but a regression was found
> shortly afterwards.
>
> The major changes compared to the 9.0.0.M22 release are:
>
> - Correct a regression in 9.0.0.M22 that prevented Tomcat from shutting
>   down cleanly.
>
> - Add LoadBalancerDrainingValve, a Valve designed to reduce the amount
>   of time required for a node to drain its authenticated users.
>
> - When generating JSP runtime error messages that quote the relevant JSP
>   source code, switch from using the results of the JSP page parsing
>   process to using the JSR 045 source map data to identify the correct
>   part of the JSP source from the stack trace. This significantly
>   reduces the memory footprint of Jasper in development mode, provides a
>   small performance improvement for error page generation and enables
>   source quotes to continue to be provided after a Tomcat restart.
>
> - Add support for a Tomcat specific deployment descriptor,
>   /WEB-INF/tomcat-web.xml
>
> - Add ExtractingRoot, a new WebResourceRoot implementation that extracts
>   JARs to the work directory for improved performance when deploying
>   packed WAR files.
>
> Along with lots of other bug fixes and improvements.

> For full details, see the changelog:

> The svn tag is:

> The proposed 9.0.0.M26 release is:
> [ ] Broken - do not release
> [x] Alpha - go ahead and release as 9.0.0.M26

Tests OK.
One test failed - a cosmetic issue. I filed into BZ:
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61393
