Tapestry 5.0.12

[Howard Lewis Ship]

People have been leaving messages on my blog that they want Tapestry 5.0.12.

I don't think it's time yet.  I'm using T5 for a client project with a
fair amount of DHTML (fancy hiding and revealing menus) and a chunk of
Ajax.  This is giving me a chance to nail down some limitations and
omissions, and tackle some nasty InternetExplorer-is-brain-dead
issues.  Given how easy it is to get a nightly build, or build
locally, I don't think there's that much advantage to cranking out an
official release -- a process that requires several days to vote, and
an hour or two of my time to perform the builds and uploads.

A new feature about to roll out is a client-side JavaScript console
which will make debugging (especially on IE) a lot easier.

I've also been developing for my app an AjaxFormLoop, a way of
combining Loop, FormInjector and a few other bits and pieces to allow
dynamic addition and removal of items from a list; basically, the kind
of thing you do for master/detail relationships.

Anyway, please be patient or use the nightlies.  Tapestry 5 is getting
very close to a next release (which I think may even be a release
candidate), but that's no reason to ship it early.  Let me continue to
"use it in anger" and find the rough spots.

Hi Howard!

Don't forget to release Tapestry 5.0.12 together
with a useful demo application once the time is ripe.

The more demos, the better....maybe even a "Petshop 2.0" with Ajax widgets?

So long....

Tobias
