[ANN] End of life for Apache TomEE 9.x

Hi folks,

With the release of TomEE 10 GA today, the Apache TomEE team announces that support for Apache TomEE 9.x will end on 31 December 2024.

This means that after 31 December 2024:

 - Releases from the tomee-9.x branch are highly unlikely
 - Bugs affecting only the tomee-9.x branch will not be addressed
 - Security vulnerability reports will not be checked against the tomee-9.x branch

See https://tomee.apache.org/tomee-9.x-eol.html

Please note: Due to the end-of-life of the Tomcat 10.0.x series, the current 9.1.x TomEE version contains several Tomcat-related CVEs that have not been fixed in TomEE.
Please upgrade your stack to TomEE 10 GA. A new release of TomEE 9.1.x with back ported fixes for Tomcat is highly unlikely.
