Hi, you may have noticed that the most recent Tapestry release (5.4.3) does not work with Java 9. This is mainly due to an outdated ASM release that we use in plastic. I have upgraded ASM to the latest stable release in the master branch, along with some other dependencies (such as Selenium) and Gradle. Rather than struggling with backports for 5.4, I'd say that we concentrate on finishing 5.5. I'm creating a 5.5-alpha-4 preview release right now and would like to move on to beta stage (along with a first public release of the 5.5 line) soon. Is there anything we need to do before that? Any blocker issues that come to mind? I've used 5.5-alpha-3 in production for several months now and have not encountered any regression issues. Has anyone else given it a try? Also, does anyone else have some spare time to help finish the release?
