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. Please check the 5.7.0 Upgrade Guide section in the bottom of this page below for details. This is a step that only needs to be done once. Please also review the How to Upgrade instructions before upgrading.

• 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 5.7.0 Upgrade Guide section in the bottom of the page for details.

• It's not possible to use the Tapestry request handling framework, specially the RequestFilter, Dispatcher, Request, Response and HttpServletRequestFilter classes, without the page framework. These classes were moved to a new artifact, tapestry-http, which can be used in place of tapestry-core (which depends on tapestry-http). tapestry-http Servlet filter class is org.apache.tapestry5.http.TapestryFilter. The original TapestryFilter, from org.apache.tapestry5, can be used in the same way way as in past Tapestry versions.
