Been chatting with clients (who may help fund this) and just thinking about plans. Here's a rough outline of what I think I can commit to in 5.3 and 5.4.
5.3 - Deprecate Javassist inside ComponentClassInstantiator, replace with Plastic - Deprecate ClassFactory, provide necessary hooks to use Plastic - Move Plastic into Tapestry? - Gradle build for Tapestry - Improve debugging experience (shadow per-thread values into shared object fields in development mode) - Improve asset pipelines for - Dynamic generation of content (example, .less files converted to static CSS automatically) - JS/CSS minimization - Do something about Component Report ... turn it into an Ant task, perhaps, or integrate Component Report into JavaDoc directly - Minor JS improvements, set expectations for 5.4 rewrite 5.4 - Remove Javassist entirely - Remove ClassFactory - Rewrite JS entirely, introduce abstraction layer and backwards compatibility layer - Maybe cometd/server-push support I'd love to see both these releases in 2011.
