Using the release notes

In the main Tomcat folder you can find the RELEASE-NOTES file which contains the following lines (~line 20-21):

                Apache Tomcat Version 8.0.22
                        Release Notes

Or you can get the same information using command line:

• Windows:

  type RELEASE-NOTES | find "Apache Tomcat Version"
  

  Output:

               Apache Tomcat Version 8.0.22
  

• Linux:

  cat RELEASE-NOTES | grep "Apache Tomcat Version"
  

  Output:

               Apache Tomcat Version 8.0.22
