2011/12/21 - Jakarta has been retired.

Tapestry 3.0.3 is now available. This is a maintenance release that fixes a few issues identified with 3.0.2.

Private assets now require a valid checksum in order to be retrieved via the asset service. The JanitorThread now terminates gracefully when the Tapestry servlet is destroyed. The engine no longer bypasses proper clean up when a client aborts a request. The DatePicker calendar window will now close automatically if no onchange event handler is specified. If specified, that event will now only fire if the date was changed. A correction was made to the taiwanese and simplified chinese error messages. The FormConditional component will no longer ignore the element parameter, if specified. The Body component now emits XHTML compliant script tags. Lastly, the build scripts have been altered to function with the Java 1.5 compiler.

This latest alpha release of the HiveMind services and configuration microkernel is now available. Release 1.1-alpha-3 sees some further refinements:

• Support for AOP Alliance Method Interceptors
• Allow ordering of interceptors by name instead of service-id
• Update to Groovy 1.0-beta-10

HiveMind 1.1 is a work in progress (a stable 1.0 release is available for production work), with but is highly stable and functional even as we close in on a beta release.

JCS, formerly a part of Jakarta Turbine, has migrated to become a Jakarta subproject. The new site may be found at jakarta.apache.org/jcs/ and other JCS resources will be adjusting accordingly.

Jakarta Commons Logging is a thin bridging logging API.

This release adds optional improved memory recycling for modern JVMs. This is particular important for hot deployment in containers which do not explicitly support JCL memory management.

This alpha release has been created to allow testing of this new code by the wider user community. If you use JCL please download this release and test it. Please report any problems to the commons-dev mailing list or record them in bugzilla.

This release is now available for download.

This latest alpha release of the HiveMind services and configuration microkernel is now available. Release 1.1-alpha-2 sees some significant improvements:

• Services can now be simple beans (rather than beans implementing an interface)
• The locale is tracked on a per-thread basis and can be changed at any time
• Modules now have a Java package, allowing class and interface names to be abbreviated in the module descriptor
• HiveDoc has been revised
• Light-weight initialization of beans is now possible in-line (class names can be ammended with a list of property names and values to set)

HiveMind 1.1 is a work in progress (a stable 1.0 release is available for production work), with but is highly stable and functional ... and we still have much, much more to put into this release.

The first alpha release of the Tapestry web application framework, version 3.1, is now available. Tapestry 3.1 rebuilds Tapestry on top of the HiveMind microkernel. 3.1 is aboult simplifying and improving Tapestry in multiple ways; key features already in place are support for "friendly URLs" (that are compatible with J2EE declarative security), vastly improved and simplified component parameters, simplified specification DTDs and a global message catalog. But don't get us wrong ... there's far, far more coming in the next few releases!

Tapestry 3.0.2 is now available. This is a maintenance release, fixing a few problems that could not wait for Tapestry 3.1. This is expected to be the final release of Tapestry 3.0.

Localized validation messages for simplified chinese and swedish have been added. The build scripts have been updated to reflect the latest versions of JDom, OGNL and Jetty. Setting persistent page properties to null no longer causes exceptions. The JanitorThread will now terminate when interrupted, which should allow for re-deployment inside Tomcat. Lastly, a number of documentation bugs have been fixed.
