Yes baby, 5.1.0.0, fresh off the press and already running.. mostly:-)

Just want to share my experience and ask how best to resolve some issues.

* Some refactoring for new interface adaptations: LinkFactory, use of
ValueEncoder instead of PrimaryKeyEncoder...etc.  nothing too serious to get
the code compile and running.
* Tapestry module class is restricted to builders, contributions, decorators
and bind methods.  If you have convenient methods inside the module classes,
you will need to do some refactoring.
* The PageTester don't support parameters with space, comma, %, or +
anymore.  Ended up reducing the complexity of the strings to allow the tests
to run.  It will be great I can go back to having more complex strings as
parameters to my test pages.
* Not sure if it is the PageTester or the rendering sequence, but I notice a
difference in behavior on exception handling when using the PageTester.  The
call to renderPage() seems to have processed the exception, where previously
the exception was thrown to the caller.  The announing part is that the
document returned only tells you the exception, in my case, a
ClassNotFoundException was thrown while loading the xxxPage, but I can't
tell which class was really not found.
* There is a PageTesterModule that contributes to the PageTester
environment.  My issue is with contributeApplicationDefaults(), our module
also issue an configuration.add(SymbolConstants.FORCE_ABSOLUTE_URIS,
"true").  It turned out that an IllegalArgumentException is thrown when
tapestry sees two add() calls for the same key.  I use
configuration.override() to fix my test, but that break my dev/prod
environment because override() throws IllegalArgumentException when trying
to override() an non-existent key.  The IllegalArgumentException exception
is thrown from MappedConfiguration.apply():line 42.  That requires knowing
if the key exists prior to calling override.  Maybe a new API to peek into
the config for existence check will do nicely.

I have some work-arounds, but will be grateful for patches or better
solutions.

thanks in advance.
