Tapestry 5.0.16 (Release Candidate) it OUT!

Posted by: Howard Lewis Ship on 11/17/2008

The latest release of Tapestry, Tapestry 5.0.16 (Release Candidate), is now available.

Tapestry 5.0.16 is the release candidate; we encourage users to download this version. In about a month, the Tapestry PMC will run a vote to grant it release status, barring any blocker bugs (critical bugs with no workaround).

In the two months since the previous release, we've addressed over 80 issues, including many bugs and a few last minute improvements. New features include a LinkSubmit component (dearly missed from Tapestry 4), new support for reporting Ajax errors on the client side, smarter client-side validation, support for several new locales, and much new documentation.

Tapestry 5.0.16 is available for download, or via the central Maven repository.
