The stable release for Apache Tapestry 5.1, release 5.1.0.5, is now
available for download.
Apache Tapestry is an open-source, component-based web application
framework for Java. It features concise templates, minimal amounts of
Java code, high performance, and important productivity features such
as live class reloading.
Tapestry 5.1 includes a large number of improvements to the speed and
scalability of Tapestry without sacrificing backwards compatibility.
However, you should still consult the upgrade notes that identify a
couple of minor "gotchas".
Major improvements from Tapestry 5.0 to Tapestry 5.1:
* Performance optimizations that speed rendering of very complex
pages, and reduce memory usage
* Static JavaScript libraries will now be dynamically combined
into a single request
* Automatic GZIP compression of static and dynamic content, for
clients that support it
* Significant improvements to Tapestry's property expression language
* Partial page updates (via Ajax) may now update multiple client-side Zones
* Many new features and improvements to Tapestry template files
* Improved client- and server-side validation of numeric input values
* User's preferred locale is now encoded into the URL, rather than
stored in a cookie
* A new ProgressiveDisplay component for incremental page loading
* Vastly improved Quickstart Archetype
* New Tapestry IoC features to make it easier to override services
and contributions to service configurations
* Many new localizations of validation messages
* Component reference documentation now identifies events
triggered by components
* Really slick new client-side logging facility (based on Blackbird)
* New API for URL rewriting (to provide improved control over Tapestry URLs)
... and many, many more bug fixes and improvements; full details are
available in the release notes.
