ACE 1.14.1 Release

[Michael Ritter]

Hi all,

I just pushed a release for ACE 1.14.1 which has a few fixes for regressions from the 1.14 release and some dependency updates to add support for Java 11 to the Audit Manager.

For running Java 11 with Tomcat 7, I've found that the Audit Manager needs at least 7.0.84, as previous versions will throw exceptions when trying to run an audit. This appears to be an issue with JavaEE libraries that the Audit Manager uses also being shipped with previous versions of Tomcat. I don't know minimum versions for Tomcat 8.5 and 9, but I have done some testing on 8.5.41.

The release for the Audit Manager can be downloaded from:
