The proposed Apache Tomcat 11.0.25 release is now available for voting.

The notable changes compared to 11.0.24 include:

- Add a new attribute to the Context, urlPatternsProvidedInDecodedForm.
   This attribute controls whether URLs and URL patterns provided in the
   deployment descriptor (web.xml), annotations and/or their programmatic
   equivalents are treated as being provided in URL-encoded form (i.e.
   using %nn encoding) or in decoded form. The Servlet specification
   requires that they are provided in decoded form. However, Tomcat has
   historically treated them as if they are provided in encoded form. In
   Tomcat 12, they will always be treated as if they are provided in
   decoded form. This setting enables migration from encoded form to
   decoded form on an application by application basis. This attribute
   will be removed in Tomcat 12 where it will effectively be hard-coded
   to true.
- Require every HTTP/2 request to provide an authority (either an
   :authority pseudo header or a Host header)
- Change the default encryptionAlgorithm for the EncryptInterceptor to
   AES/GCM/NoPadding. This is a breaking change for the
   EncryptInterceptor.

For full details, see the change log:

Applications that run on Tomcat 9 and earlier will not run on Tomcat 11 
without changes. Java EE applications designed for Tomcat 9 and earlier 
may be placed in the $CATALINA_BASE/webapps-javaee directory and Tomcat 
will automatically convert them to Jakarta EE and copy them to the 
webapps directory. Applications using deprecated APIs may require 
further changes.
