I just tried the new 5.3-beta-1 release and I immediately saw this new ASCII art in the logs spitting out "Tapestry 5"
______ __ ____ /_ __/__ ____ ___ ___ / /_______ __ / __/ / / / _ `/ _ \/ -_|_-</ __/ __/ // / /__ \ /_/ \_,_/ .__/\__/___/\__/_/ \_, / /____/ /_/ /___/ so I was curious and examined the whole output. I noticed this line: "Application 'app' (Tapestry version 5.3-alpha-12)." although I am using beta-1 jars.
