The Tapestry Team is very proud to announce the availability of Apache Tapestry 5.3.1.

Tapestry is primarily available for download via Maven, from the Maven central repository:

Maven Dependency

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.tapestry</groupId>
  <artifactId>tapestry-core</artifactId>
  <version>5.3.1</version>
</dependency>

You can also download the source or JavaDocs archives.

Tapestry 5.3.1 is a bug fix release and represents a drop-in replacement for the previous stable 5.3 release.
Full details are in the release notes, but here's a few highlights:

@PerThread scope honored when service is created using autobuild
@ActivationRequestParameter encoded to be URL friendly
Exceptions while compressing JavaScript are fully reported
All forms/submission working normally after FileUploadException is raised
Asset path prefix configurable

As usual for each Tapestry5 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 Tapestry 5.0 or 5.1 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.
