fix 51688: JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener now protects against AWT thread creation. (schultz)
fix 51758: The digester (used for processing XML files) used the logger name org.apache.commons.digester.Digester rather than the expected org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.Digester. The digester has been changed to use the expected logger name. (kkolinko)
add 51862: Added a classesToInitialize attribute to JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener to allow pre-loading of configurable classes to avoid some classloader leaks. (slaurent)
fix 51872: Ensure that the access log always uses the correct value for the remote IP address associated with the request and that requests with multiple errors do not result in multiple entries in the access log. (markt)
add Allow to overwrite the check for distributability of session attributes by session implementations. (rjung)
add Provide the log format "OneLineFormatter" for JULI that provides the same information as the default plus thread name but on a single line. (markt/rjung)
fix Ensure the the memory leak protection for the HttpClient keep-alive always operates even if the thread has already stopped. (markt)
fix 51940: Do not limit saving of request bodies during FORM authentication to POST requests since any HTTP method may include a request body. Based on a patch by Nicholas Sushkin. (kkolinko)
fix 52091: Address performance issues related to lock contention in StandardWrapper. Based on patch provided by Taiki Sugawara. (kkolinko)
update In GenericPrincipal, SerializablePrincipal: Do not sort lists of roles that have only one element. (kkolinko)
add Make configuration issue for CsrfPreventionFilter result in the failure of the filter rather than just a warning message. (kkolinko)
fix Ensure changes to the configuration of RemoteAddrValve and RemoteHostValve via JMX are thread-safe. (kkolinko)
add Make configuration issue for RemoteAddrValve and RemoteHostValve result in the failure of the valve rather than just a warning message. (kkolinko)

Excessive parameters are ignored. Note that FailedRequestFilter can be used to reject the request if some parameters were ignored. (markt/kkolinko)
add New filter FailedRequestFilter that will reject a request if there were errors during HTTP parameter parsing. (kkolinko)
Coyote
fix 50394: Return -1 from read operation instead of throwing an exception when encountering an EOF with the HTTP APR connector. (kkolinko)
