[Building Sakai] Sakai 2.8.0 CLE and Tomcat 7

[Mike Jennings]

Hi all, I have a question about which version of Tomcat I should use for 
a Sakai 2.8.0 upgrade.

I see on the 2.8.0 release notes that I should be using Tomcat 5.5.x....

This is from the release notes....

https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DOC/Sakai+CLE+2.8+Release+Notes

It should be noted that currently Sakai CLE 2x is not compatible with 
Tomcat 6 or 7, a servlet container that some schools run as a standalone 
web server instead of fronting it with the Apache HTTP web server. It is 
anticipated that the Sakai CLE 2.9 release (Q2/Q3 2012) will be 
compatible with Tomcat 7.

but if you check out the updated developers docs at 
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/BOOT/Development+Environment+Setup+Walkthrough 
it says to use Tomcat 7....

Just interested in why there is a difference here...

Thanks,

Mike
