First alpha of 5.3 now available

Apache Tapestry version 5.3.0 is now available. This is the first alpha release of Tapestry 5.3. It is designed to be a drop-in replacement for Tapestry 5.2, adding new components and features, with lower memory utilization, and even faster startup. However, as many deprecated classes have been removed, you should certainly check the release notes. We are quite interested in any upgrade problems you may encounter ... previewing new releases and reporting back is a terrific way to contribute back to Tapestry!

Tapestry is available for download in source format, and available via the central Maven repository:
