It is highly reccomended that anyone using the 4.1.x series of Tapestry try out the upgrade as it contains many bug fixes and minor improvements that you’ll likely benefit from.

Tacos Updates

Although I’ve been very bad about keeping track of what is going on in Tacos it looks like Andreas Andreou and Igor Drobiazko have been doing a great job maintaining and greatly expanding the core “offering” that Tacos now contains. Some of the bigger items I’ve noticed:

  • Tacos 4.1 now has comet support / new binding prefixes / Dojo 1.0.2 / YUI 2.4.0 / Ext JS 2.0 / JQuery 1.2.1 supprt! Although I did notice Andy going through and refactoring Tapestry core for the 4.1.5 release to support different core javascript libraries I had no idea the support was this extensive. Nice work guys!
  • Tacos Seam for Tapestry 4.1.x / Tapestry 5 – As if all of this new library support wasn’t enough Igor Drobiazko in particular has been doing an outstanding job which has resulted in Seam support for Tapestry versions 4.1.x or Tapestry 5. See more on that here and here.
  • DateJs support in Tacos 5! I was very pleasantly surprised to find this little gem hidden away in the Tacos 5 area as well. There have been a number of announcements on this library on ajaxian.com and it looks like a really promising new way to handle javascript date parsing – similar to the way that google calendar can figure out dates from a single input field. (which I think took a lot of its currently functionality inspiration from some excellent suggestions made by Aza Raskin on this particular piece of functionality. )

All in all Tacos is starting to look more and more exciting these days. If I can find some free time (yeah right),  I may want to start looking in to it again.

Most notable have been:

  • Upgrade of dojo to latest revision (as of today)
  • Fixed multipart uploads to work with all ajax requests
  • Re-fixed back/forward linking logic on ajax related forms
  • New HtmlEditor component based off of the dojo widget

More importanly, this release makes the tacos library compatible with the latest 4.0.1 release of tapestry.

(besides safari, still a couple kinks to work out there.)

Another shining example of what using a professional grade js library can do for your web based products/projects.
