Tapestry 5.7.0 is a new major version which needs a migration step for projects using previous versions. To upgrade, update the dependency in your build configuration (Maven POM, Gradle build script, etc.) – or Download the new JAR file. In addition, download the migration tool jar from https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/tapestry/tapestry-version-migrator/5.7.0/tapestry-version-migrator-5.7.0.jar and run "java -jar tapestry-version-migrator-5.7.0.jar upgrade 5.7.0" (without quotes) in the command line. It will process all .java files found in the current folder and its subfolders, recursively. This is a step that only needs to be done once. Please also review the How to Upgrade instructions before upgrading.

The main new features are:

• Partial Java 9+ modules (JPMS) support. It's partial because module-info.java classes are not provided yet. On the other hand, Tapestry's JARs don't have split packages anymore, making them easier to be used with Java 9+ modules. Many classes had to be moved to other packages, and sometimes even to a different JAR. The migration tool mentioned above will take care of updating your code so it uses the correct new fully-qualified class names for the ones that were moved and/or renamed.

• TypeCoercer now uses mapped configuration so coercion overrides are done in an explicit manner. Please check the TypeCoercion Upgrade Guide section below for details.
