Upgrade to AspectJ 1.8.1 and Tomcat 8.0.9 [SPR-11957]

[spring-projects-issues]

Juergen Hoeller opened SPR-11957 and commented

As of Spring Framework 4.0.6, we should upgrade to AspectJ 1.8.1 and declare it as the recommended user version in our Maven POMs, as well as to Tomcat 8.0.9 which is the first version declared as stable by Apache.

This has been done in the 4.1 line before, so let's mark this as fixed there as well.

The 8.0.9 announcements - as found on the http://tomcat.apache.org/ welcome page - clearly indicate that it's the first stable version. So that which-version page seems to be out of date; I'll let them know.
