Tapestry 5.3.8 is a drop-in replacement for prior Tapestry 5.3 releases. To upgrade, just update the dependency in your build configuration (Maven POM, Gradle build script, etc.) – or Download the new JAR file -- and the new version will just work. However, please review the How to Upgrade instructions before upgrading.
This is a bug fix release, mainly meant to address compatibility with Java 8. The ASM library is updated to a Java 8 compatible version (5.0), however, if you wish to run this release on JRE 8, you still need to manually specify a Java 8 compatible version of javassist (such as 3.18.2-GA). With Maven you'd include:
<dependency> <groupId>org.javassist</groupId> <artifactId>javassist</artifactId> <version>3.18.2-GA</version> </dependency> |
Javassist has changed their group coordinates (from javassist to org.javassist), which further complicates the situation. You'll also have to manually exclude javassist:javassist dependency (if your dependencies are resolved automatically). With Maven, you'd add:
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<artifactId>javassist</artifactId>
<groupId>javassist</groupId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions> |
where needed.
As with any Tapestry upgrade, be sure to change your application's version number.
