Hi guys and Howard :) So I've been taking 5.4 out for a testdrive (alpha 22).
The application is fairly large 150+ pages, 250+ components and mixins. *Plugins:* Is using tapestry-jquery, t5conduit (less & coffieescript), tapestry-yuicompressor (with Lenny's workaround) The plugins are omitted for 5.4. Think I need to make new components to make up for loss of tapestry-jquery, but otherwise working good. At this point I haven't gotten much longer than the home page and a couple of additional pages, but it's looking really good. Great job on that :-) There's already been a number of posts related to 5.4 so won't repeat on those, but have a couple of 'new questions' that might deserve some attention. *t53-compatibility.js - load early as possible..?* Great this one exist, but is is possible to have it load earlier..? Currently it's loaded last of the "@Import'ed" libraries where some make use of the Tapestry namespace. I've manually tested to add it to my layout component (to get it higher in list), and that mostly work, but not on all pages. So - is it possible to have it loaded as first in list by default? *Requirejs optimize* Since requirejs make you write the modules - one pr. file - it can quickly add up. Up until now we've made use of stacks to combine files, but guess this won't work reliably with with requirejs..? I've seen there is an optimizer for requirejs. http://requirejs.org/docs/optimization.html Any plans to use this - or are there other approaches more suitable for tapestry? Will probably have additional questions/comments as I work my way through. But overall very excited about this release.. cheers Magnus
