[jetty-users] Jetty releases 7.6.0 and 8.1.0


Jetty releases 7.6.0 and 8.1.0 have been promoted to maven central and will soon be available for download via http://eclipse.org/jetty

These releases represent a major effort by the team to refactor the IO layer to handle several issues that have emerged over the last year with respect to the latest JVMs and browsers, such as several 100% CPU spins fixed that resulted from strangely closed SSL connection.   Furthermore, the releases contain some additional protection from some denial of service attacks that have been discovered that affect a wide range of web servers.

We recommend that you plan to evaluate and upgrade to these releases as soon as possible.  Do to the nature of these changes, it is impossible to back the most significant ones to Jetty-6 and thus these releases represent the effective EOL for jetty-6, as no more general releases are planned.

Thanks to the jetty team who have  worked extremely hard over the last few months on these releases.  We've also very much appreciate the efforts of users who have raised issues, provided debug/traces and have tried out various snapshots and RCs.
