Thought this might be interesting to Tapestry users in general but especially to Tapestry add-on (plugins, components, modules, extensions) developers. Here are the percentages of all downloads of tapestry-core from Maven central over last year (2011):
5.3.1 0.90% 5.3 2.70% 5.3.0 4.04% 5.2.6 12.67% 5.2.5 19.93% 5.2.4 22.01% 5.2.2 2.48% 5.2.1 0.53% 5.2.0 1.23% 5.1.0.5 19.44% 5.1.0.4 0.55% 5.1.0.3 0.40% 5.1.0.2 0.27% 5.1.0.1 0.29% 5.1.0.0 0.34% 5.0.19 0.52% 5.0.18 1.92% 5.0.17 0.28% 5.0.16 0.40% 5.0.15 0.84% 5.0.14 0.67% 5.0.13 0.67% 5.0.12 0.40% 5.0.11 0.74% 5.0.10 0.51% 5.0.9 0.46% 5.0.7 0.68% 5.0.6 0.60% 5.0.5 0.80% 5.0.4 0.40% 5.0.3 0.50% 5.0.2 1.34% 5.0.1 0.50% Note that these are just central download stats, so it's difficult to make any conclusions about this, because Maven-originated artifacts are heavily cached (company proxies, user caches etc.). Also note that the percentages don't tell you much about the popularity or market share of the given version. You typically download the artifact only once on a given machine. Anyway, here's my quick initial thoughts: - most of the new development is (at least) on 5.2.x - most projects update version of Tapestry eagerly - 5.3 enjoys great success so far (considering the final was available only 5 weeks before the end of the year) - most 5.0.x projects have probably either upgraded to newer versions are or in maintenance mode, so very little reason to maintain 5.0.x compatibility anymore Kalle --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
