Stability is good but features are limited; it's still an alpha (or,
as I like to call it, a "preview") release stage.
Dates haven't been implemented untiil the JavaScript support is realized.
Drop downs to other objects will come with the Hibernate integration
(since we need a way to identify the other objects that can be linked
to).
The Trails project, for Tapestry 4, gives you an idea of the kind of
things that will be possible in Tapestry 5.
What's been going on so far is the creation of the best page and
component oriented framework available, and it's most of the way
there. The JavaScript stuff in on the second wave, but much of the
groundwork has been laid.

Hi all.
I'm new to Tapestry and I've been watching the screencasts available. I
really like the class reloading feature. Congrats!
I'm considering using Tapestry for a new project, but I still have some
questions that need answer:
1) How mature is Tapestry 5?
2) Does the BeanEditForm handles Dates, DropDowns (references to other
objects) ? If not, what is the Tapestry way of doing this?
3) Where do I put business logic? I come from a Action based framework
background. I think you use the Page objects for that, is this correct?
4) Any Ajax integration goodies? In Guara we can execute the exact same
business logic, but return differents types on text (whole page, partial
page, javascript) which makes Ajax integration easier.
Cheers!
