After much too long, the first alpha release of Apache Tapestry 5.2 is
now available for download. Tapstry 5.2 adds significant capabilities
to Tapestry, along with loads of bug fixes and improvements. Major
improvements include:
* Live reloading of service implementation classes (not just
components and pages)
* New annotations to support passing information as query parameters
* Proper client-side form cancelling logic (bypassing client-side validation)
* Tapestry no longer uses a StAX XML parser; it uses a standard SAX
parser (for compatibility with Google App Engine).
* JSR-303 Bean Validation Integration
* Improved and simplified meta-programming capabilities
* Tapestry pages are now singletons (no longer pooled instanced) ...
though this doesn't change your code at all!
This code has been used in a large number of development, and even
production, Tapestry applications. There are some known bugs, and the
Tapestry team is eager to learn about any difficulties users have
upgrading from 5.1 to 5.2. We hope that in the vast majority of cases,
upgrading will simply involve changing the Tapestry dependency version
number and recompiling. If you run into problems, please use the
Tapestry user mailing list for support.
Tapestry is available for download from the Apache Mirrors, or via the
central Maven repository:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tapestry</groupId>
<artifactId>tapestry-core</artifactId>
