First usable Tomcat 5 release?

I was unable to use the early Tomcat 5.0 alphas when I was working on Professional JSP 2.0 and I've heard plenty of complaints about Tomcat 5's extreme instability, but the latest alpha seems to work just fine. I downloaded it, loaded my Data Access for Web Applications example in, and it just worked! I was also happy to find that the Sysdeo Tomcat plugin has been updated to support the Tomcat 5.X line.
