Hello! I agree with Volker and Cezary. There would be no value to do any upgrade other than 5.7. I haven't worked with Tapestry 3, but I did with 4 (even a couple months ago) and I've been working daily with 5.7. Some of the main concepts do carry over these versions (pages, the 1-1 relationship they have with templates, components, heavy reliance on IoC for flexibility), but the implementation is indeed very different. Unless you want to ditch server-side rendering for client-side one (i.e. just JavaScript making calls to REST endpoints), Tapestry 5.7 is the way to go.
Please let us know if you have further questions. On Mon, Jul 26, 2021 at 4:20 PM Cezary Biernacki <cezary...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > There is no point upgrading to Tapestry 4.x.
