This is a bug fix release, mainly meant to address compatibility with Java 8. The ASM library is updated to a Java 8 compatible version (5.0), however, if you wish to run this release on JRE 8, you still need to manually specify a Java 8 compatible version of javassist (such as 3.18.2-GA). With Maven you'd include:

pom.xml (partial)
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.javassist</groupId>
  <artifactId>javassist</artifactId>
  <version>3.18.2-GA</version>
</dependency>

Javassist has changed their group coordinates (from javassist to org.javassist), which further complicates the situation. You'll also have to manually exclude javassist:javassist dependency (if your dependencies are resolved automatically). With Maven, you'd add:

pom.xml (partial)
<exclusions>
  <exclusion>
    <artifactId>javassist</artifactId>
    <groupId>javassist</groupId>
  </exclusion>
</exclusions>

where needed.

As with any Tapestry upgrade, be sure to change your application's version number.
