Yes, that's why we have to say that this backwards compatibility it's not a problem, loud and and clear. Other frameworks mains versions are incompatible too.
I would love to keep up staring up for more than 4 days !! :) Sadly our project was cancelled ... no project, no formation. more pub -> more people knows about tapestry 5.x -> more people proposes the framework to their clients -> more projects coming -> more knowledge needed -> more formations, :) About localisation : Paris is the best place in France. Paris is very well connected to the other french capitals by train(tgv) and plane. Connected to London in 2 hours by train. 2010/8/5 Gerald Bauer <gtat...@gmail.com> > I think one reason people fear Tapestry is it's backward compatibility > history.
