FYI, due to some minor problems in alpha-4, I'm working on alpha-5 right
now.

I'm starting the work of porting a very large 5.3 app to 5.4.

Yes, for modules, there is no checksum in the URL, but there is an ETag
containing the checksum. On the client side, we start knowing only the
module's name ("i.e., "t5/core/events"); without the file content we can't
generate the checksum.

Eventually, I'll include a mechanism to aggregate specific modules into the
JavaScript stack.

This has been going back and forth; the idea is to not lock you into a
particular SLF4J implementation, at the expense of making you select one.
If this was included as a core dependency and you wanted to switch to, say,
logback, you would have to exclude this dependency then include logback.
 The Maven archetype will include a specific SLF4J implementation.

More information on that would be great.
