The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 7.0.26 of Apache Tomcat. 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.

Full details of these changes, and all the other changes, are available in the Tomcat 7 changelog.
