The fourth milestone of Gemini Web (formerly Spring Dynamic Modules) was released today with various test and build improvements.  The project has also brought upgrades to Tomcat 6.0.29 that close security holes.  The changes also make embedded Tomcat work well inside an OSGi container. That upgrade has been present in the Tomcat 7 line for a long time, but it wasn't approved by the Apache Tomcat community for inclusion in Tomcat 6.  The new milestone also restructures Tomcat bundles to enable clustering.
