Tapestry 5.5 progress

[David Taylor <da...@extensiatech.com>]

Hello,

Does anyone know where we stand on the Tapestry 5.5 release? Are there 
specific blocking issues that need to be addressed? I recall seeing one 
related to Java 11 and ASM, but it is not clear if that is being worked 
on at the moment.

We are working on upgrading our applications to Java 11 and may be able 
to help with troubleshooting of open issues.

Regards,
David

As far as I know, Java 12 doesn't have any bytecode differences to 11, so
supporting 11 also supports 12. 13, on the other hand, does introduce new
bytecode.

This is a known issue and my plan is to support Java 14 (LTS version soon
to be released) in Tapestry 5.6 (which shouldn't take as long to be
released as 5.5). It's not trivial to support a new Java bytecode version
in Tapestry because this is done by embedding (i.e. copying and then
changing the package name) the ASM sources and then applying a couple of
manual changes.

Yes.

I don't know any.

I am using Tapestry to develop applications for internal research and 
teaching purposes, and have recently migrated two applications that are 
used daily to 5.5.0-beta-3 and they are running without issues on Java 12.

I have tried running on Java 13 but it was not possible, due to 
unsupported class versions.

As the documentation indicates that Java 11 is the supported version, I 
wanted to ask the reason for this. Is it just because 11 is LTS? Or 
there are truly some specific cases that I have not encountered which 
prevent fully supported operation under Java 12 and I have to be careful.

Thanks for your testing and feedback!

There's one last issue, even if it's a smaller one, which is the Glyphicon
component not rendering anything visible when Bootstrap isn't being used.
My plan is to use the free version of FontAwesome to cover that. After
that, unless some last minute showstopper appears, we would start the
process of releasing 5.5.0.

Hello everyone and Happy New Year!

Just following up to see where we are at with testing of 5.5-beta-3.  We 
are testing using a private build from master to pickup the recent 
changes and have not run into any compatibility issues so far.  I am 
curious whether anyone has run into any show stoppers?

Assuming there are no blocking issues, what is the next step forward 
with 5.5?

Regards,
David

We should get a release in the upcoming months.

It was worked and it's already working, except for one specific case I'm
planning to fix this weekend (overriding of interface default methods).

Awesome! Please post any issues you find with Tapestry both here and in
Jira so we can properly track and fix them.
