Tapestry 5.3.5 is the latest maintenance release from the stable 5.3 release branch. Full details are in the release notes; This release fixes a number of minor annoyances, an important bug in how Tapestry manipulates Java bytecode, and includes fixes for several problems related to Internet Explorer compatibility (primarily, by upgrading Tapestry's built-in copy of Prototype to version 1.7.1).
Some testers have noticed an issue with Tapestry's DateField component not operating correctly in some versions of Internet Explorer. Please test carefully before upgrading.
As usual for each Tapestry 5 release we've made great efforts to ensure an easy upgrade path; but be sure to read the upgrade notes carefully as some interfaces and methods that were deprecated in earlier major releases may have been removed: you should recompile and retest your application after upgrading your dependency. If you still have problems, use the Tapestry user mailing list to get support.

We've released a new release candidate for Tapestry 5.3: Apache Tapestry 5.3-rc-2.
This represents the better part of a year of work, containing over 270 bug fixes and improvements, ranging from the trivial one-line bug fixes all the way up to a complete reimplementation of how Tapestry performs bytecode transformation of component classes. Tapestry 5.3 includes significant improvements to performance (especially in production mode), and reduces the memory footprint of the running application. See the release notes for full details about improvements, upgrades, and fixed bugs and issues.
To use the release candidate, update your build.gradle to include the Apache Maven Staging Repository:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
// For access to Apache Staging (Preview) packages
mavenRepo urls: "https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging"
}

Tapestry 5.3 is currently in a late alpha stage; the first beta release is due soon.
A new stable version of Tapestry is available for download, Tapestry 5.2.6. We can recommend that all Tapestry 5.2 applications upgrade to version 5.2.6.
This new version addresses some client-side JavaScript issues, upgrading the built-in copy of Prototype to the latest version (1.7).
Tapestry 5.2.6 can be downloaded in either binary or source format. The release is also available via Maven:
<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tapestry</groupId> <artifactId>tapestry-core</artifactId> <version>5.2.6</version> </dependency>
Apache Tapestry version 5.3.0 is now available. This is the first alpha release of Tapestry 5.3. It is designed to be a drop-in replacement for Tapestry 5.2, adding new components and features, with lower memory utilization, and even faster startup. However, as many deprecated classes have been removed, you should certainly check the release notes. We are quite interested in any upgrade problems you may encounter ... previewing new releases and reporting back is a terrific way to contribute back to Tapestry!
Tapestry is available for download in source format, and available via the central Maven repository:
<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tapestry</groupId> <artifactId>tapestry-core</artifactId> <version>5.3.0</version> </dependency>
We make bold claims right on the front page about performance and back that up with usually anecdotal evidence. It's nice that a disinterested third party has come up with their own framework performance shootout, covering everthing from Rails to Play to Wicket to (thanks to Kalle) Tapestry 5.2.5. I have to say that Tapestry significantly rocked:
There's a lot more details in the posting; Tapestry out-performed the JSP version of the test application, as well as all of the other component-based frameworks, and most of the action-oriented frameworks.
It's not charted, but Tapestry does pretty well in terms of memory and CPU utilization:
Tapestry has been getting faster, release-on-release. Kalle has promised to update the Tapestry test application to 5.3 once at least a stable alpha release is available and I expect to see some incremental speed improvement, and some more visible reduction in memory utilization.
