Tapestry 4.1
No work has been done on Tapestry 4. There is a backlog of issues in
JIRA but
nobody has stepped forward to work on them.
Tapestry 5
A series of release candidates were voted up. 5.0.16 and 5.0.17 had
minor
issues that were corrected for 5.0.18, which was subsequently voted as
the
final release for 5.0.
A set of performance improvements for Tapestry 5.0 are in the 5.0
branch; if
released this will be 5.0.19. However, the same changes are available
in 5.1.
Tapestry 5.1
A significant number of new features have been added to Tapestry 5.1.
We are hoping to have a 5.1 final release available in just a few
months.
We think it is important to the perceived stability of Tapestry that a
release that builds on 5.0 but stays fully compatible be made available.
An effort is underway to rewrite the standard Tapestry 5 documentation
as
an extended tutorial.
Tapestry Community
New committers added to the project over the last year have continued to
contribute very lightly. The vast bulk of the code continues to be
developed
by Howard Lewis Ship. With no committers "stepping up to the bat",
there has
been no progress on expanding the membership of the PMC.
That being said, the rest of the community is lively, with many users
mentoring each other in the user list, a steady flow of issues (some
with
patches), and a respectable number of messages (79 messages / day,
across
the three mailing lists, according to MarkMail.org).
In addition, to support the community, an external Tapestry
development hub
named "Tapestry 360" (tapestry.formos.com) is being set up by Formos
(Howard Lewis Ship's employer). This will allow a centralized location
for open source Tapestry development that can not take place at Apache
due
to, for example, licensing restrictions.
