Bingo. The issue isn't that having a Tap5 is important, for it is. There will always be a need to add new features and support new technologies as a framework expands. The issue I have is that every Tap release doesn't just add new abilities, it completely scraps the existing code. There are n

The current state of the T4 code is untenable w.r.t. to adding new features without breaking backwards compatibility. Each upgrade of Tapestry (2 to 3 to 4) has had major upgrade problems because of a number of factors, mostly the design of the APIs and the need to extend from base classes (as th

Howard, if it really will be as difficult to move from Tap4 to Tap5 as you suggest, and if this new code base is indeed mostly new, perhaps it might be prudent to release what you are now calling Tapestry 5 as a new project instead; one that is "inspired" by the Tapestry concepts and intentions. T

Having made the switch from 3.0 to 4.0 during the development of Trails, it took some time but was definitely worth it. I think 4.0 is a tremendous improvement over 3 for sure. However, if 5 is basically a completely new web framework with no easy upgrade path it would be a tough pill to swallo

Hi, I personally don't have a problem with this, at the very least because it is high-time for the many of the changes in T5. Nevertheless, the majority of people will expect some kind of backward compatibility between T4 and T5 and that expectation would be natural. Perhaps if T5 is renamed

Howard, I know you're very innovative and all, but doesn't this really sound somewhat crazy to you? If you really want Tapestry to gain acceptance, then backward compatibility is a big issue. I jumped into the Tapestry world with the 4.0 release and I'm really enjoying it, but if switching to 5.x
