Tapestry 5.5.0 is a drop-in replacement for Tapestry 5.4 releases. To upgrade, just update the dependency in your build configuration (Maven POM, Gradle build script, etc.) – or Download the new JAR file -- and the new version will just work. However, please review the How to Upgrade instructions before upgrading.

The main new features are:

• Added support for Java 9, 10, 11 and 12 bytecode. Tapestry 5.5.0 now supports Java 8 through 12.
