Release Notes 5.8.3

Tapestry 5.8.3 is a new release with a number of enhancements and bug fixes.

Tapestry 5.8.3 is a drop-in replacement and recommended upgrade for Tapestry 5.7.0+ projects.

Highlights:

• TAP5-2742 - Getting issue details... STATUS Smarter page cache validation (also known as multiple classloader mode). Besides collecting dependencies between page, component, mixin and base classes, this enhancement, when turned on, allows Tapestry to invalidate just the cached page instances that need to be rebuilt when a class, template, messages properties or asset is changed. It's documented in the Multiple Classloader Mode/Smarter Page Class Invalidation section of the class reloading page.
• TAP5-1733 - Getting issue details... STATUS Tapestry no longer logs an OperationException when a client submits a form using a method other than POST. Previously, the log entry would explain that "Forms require that the request method be POST and that the t:formdata query parameter have values." Likewise, in production mode, instead of displaying the error page, Tapestry silently redirects back to the page containing the form.
• TAP5-2708 - Getting issue details... STATUS TAP5-1733 - Getting issue details... STATUS TAP5-2600 - Getting issue details... STATUS The YUI CssCompressor got updated to the latest available code, which fixes multiple issues (TAP5-2753, TAP5-2708, TAP5-2600).
  As Yahoo doesn't develop the Compressor further, a better testing environment was added to tapestry-webresources to fix any upcoming CSS compression issues faster.
• TAP5-2745 - Getting issue details... STATUS The Tree component now gracefully handles an empty list of root nodes instead of throwing an NPE.
• TAP5-2743 - Getting issue details... STATUS Convenience methods added to PerThreadValue for easier use:
  • T computeIfAbsent(Supplier<? extends T> fn)
  • T computeIfPresent(Function<? super T, ? extends T> fn)
  • T compute(Function<? super T, ? extends T> fn)
  • void ifSet(Consumer<? super T> action)
• TAP5-2730 - Getting issue details... STATUS CookieBuilder now accepts java.time.Duration for its maxAge-related operation.
  Also, a TypeCoercion for TimeInterval->Duration was added, so Duration is usable for SymbolConstants.COOKIE_MAX_AGE.
• TAP5-2735 - Getting issue details... STATUS New method void setNonPersistentLocaleFromRequest(Request request) added to LocalizationSetter to expose all of the locale handling through the service.
• TAP5-2739 - Getting issue details... STATUS Remnants from Java 5->6 transitions removed: org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.internal.util.JDKUtils and org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.internal.util.DummyLock.
• TAP5-2730 - Getting issue details... STATUS Misspelt internally used id in org.apache.tapestry5.modules fixed (ComnpressedModules -> CompressedModules)
