 is still an <a href="doc/api/net/sf/tapestry/components/IServiceLink.html">IServiceLink</a> which means it can wrap
 <a href="doc/api/net/sf/tapestry/html/Rollover.html">Rollover</a> components.

 [ 544394 ] Release notes / deleted methods
 [ 548183 ] Component specification of Option error
 [ 548188 ] Component Option implementation error

 [ 549142 ] WL issue with default tapestry jar name
 [ 549314 ] Spec parse error
 [ 521456 ] Allow IRequestCycle.discardPage() from listeners
 </pre>


 <h3>Release 2.0.1</h3>

 Removed a lot of deprecated code.

 <pre>
 [ 536289 ] remove Jetty dependencies
 [ 537398 ] Fix synch/double check bugs
 [ 537426 ] Remove object pooling
 [ 539600 ] java-class should be java-type in docs
 [ 494221 ] Add PDF (or printable) documentation
 </pre>

 <h3>Release 2.0.0</h3>

 Added the <a target="_top" href="quotes_frame.html">Quotes</a> page to this website.  Added two new tabs to the
 Workbench, demonstrating redirects and exception reporting.
 Marked a number of methods (related to object pooling) as deprecated.

 <p>Minor formatting changes to the web site and Virtual Library.

 <h3>Release 1.0.10</h3>

 Changed the build to include debugging symbols with the frameworks.  Fixed a deployment problem with
 the Tutorial.  Added descriptions to most components and parameters.  Modified the Inspector to
 display component and parameter descriptions.

 <p>Added a new page to the Workbench Tutorial: Chart.  The Chart page allows a user to dynamically
 create a pie chart.

 <p>Made it easier to create subclasses of
 <a href="doc/api/net/sf/tapestry/AbstractResponseWriter.html">AbstractResponseWriter</a>.

 <pre>
 [ 532562 ] Submit.jwc contains error
 [ 532587 ] Submit throws NPE
 [ 532815 ] ValidationDelegate errors
 [ 532758 ] add descriptions to builtin components
 [ 499655 ] HTMLResponseWriter enhancements
 </pre>

 <h3>Release 1.0.9</h3>

 <p>The framework and contrib jar files are now named with the release number (i.e.,
 <code>com.primix.tapestry-1.0.9.jar</code>).  In addition,
 the source code for these frameworks, and the examples, is now distributed as
 Jar files instead of directories of files in the <code>src</code> directory.
 This makes for easier source lookup when using
 <a target="_top" href="http://www.eclipse.org">Eclipse</a>, and shrinks the size of the distribution
 as well.

 <p>The way engine services are defined and used has been completely overhauled.
 Services are now defined
 in the application specification and a single
 instance of the service object is instantiated
 and shared by all engine instances (for the application).

 <p>Made it easier to override the creation of the specification source, template source, etc. in subclasses
 of
 <a href="doc/api/net/sf/tapestry/engine/AbstractApplication.html">AbstractApplication</a>.


 <p>The <a href="doc/api/net/sf/tapestry/form/Submit.html">Submit</a> and
 <a href="doc/api/net/sf/tapestry/form/ImageSubmit.html">ImageSubmit</a> components may now have
 their own listener, which is notified before the containing form's listener.

 <p>More reworking of validation; the validation delegate can now
 track errors in any kind of form component and can track errors that
 aren't associated with any particular component.

 <pre>
 [ #510175 ] add service registration to .application
 [ #511256 ] Enhance Validation Framework
 </pre>

 <h3>Release 1.0.8</h3>

 <p>A complete overhaul of the validating text field support.  The previous implementation
 used subclasses of AbstractValidatingTextField (which no longer exists) to add new types
 of validation; the new implementation has a single component,
 <a href="doc/api/net/sf/tapestry/valid/ValidField.html">ValidField</a>, and many implementations
 of <a href="doc/api/net/sf/tapestry/valid/IValidator.html">IValidator</a>.

 <p>At long last, the <a href="doc/api/net/sf/tapestry/form/Upload.html">Upload</a> component.

 <p>Reimplemented the Virtual Library application using
 <a target="_top" href="http://mckoi.com/database/">McKoi Database</a>, to be compatible with JBoss 2.4.3 (which no
 longer includes InstantDB).

 <pre>
 [ #506661 ] private asset configuration
 [ #494456 ] StringValidator minLength message wrong
 [ #488476 ] Generated URLs should contain entities.
 [ #488432 ] Make duplicate page names illegal
 [ #487394 ] NumericField doesn't work with long
 [ #501750 ] StringValidator
 [ #499057 ] BaseValidator summary typo
 [ #487619 ] javadoc link errors
 </pre>


 <h3>Release 1.0.7</h3>

 <p>Removed Primix copyrights, as I no longer work there or do any work on their time.

 <p>Consolidated and cleaned up many of the tutorials into the new Workbench.

 <p>Improvements to Inspector's Properties Explorer.  It is now more tolerant of exceptions thrown while
 accessing properties.

 <p>Streamlined the distribution by removing the source for documentation.


 <PRE>
 [ #480433 ] StatementAssembly - access to JBDC 2.0
 [ #469747 ] more flexible application parser
 [ #484184 ] JavaDoc error
 </pre>

 				<h3>Release 1.0.6</h3>

 				<p>Tapestry now uses <a target="_top" href="http://jakarta.apache.org/ant">Ant</a>
 				as its build tool.  The GNU Makefile Java Build Environment has
 				been removed.

 				<p>The Tapestry Inspector now has a powerful Properties Explorer which allows
 				for dynamic navigation and display of an object's properties (similar
 				to what a debugger provides).

 				<p>Localization of context assets was broken in Tomcat; it now works
 				in both Tomcat and Jetty.

 				<h3>Release 1.0.5</h3>

 				<p>Added a mechanism to clear out pooled objects when they haven't been used
 				for some time.  The interface <a href="doc/api/net/sf/tapestry/util/ICleanable.html">ICleanable</a>
 				has the details.

 				<p>Made a number of other efficiency improvements.  Particularily, the page loader now weeds
 				out informal parameters that can't be used (because they conflict with formal parameter names,
 				or because the component owns the attributes), preventing them from being added as component
 				bindings.  The old method was to weed out the unwanted parameters on every
 				render, which was more expensive.

 				<p>Improved the <a href="doc/api/net/sf/tapestry/valid/NumericField.html">NumericField</a>
 				component to deal with null values in an intelligent manner.

 				<p>It is now possible to set properties of
 				<a href="doc/DevelopersGuide/components.helper-beans.html">helper beans</a>.

 				<p>The full distribution now bundles
 				<a target="_top" href="http://jetty.mortbay.com">Jetty 3.1RC9</a>
 				and the Virtual Library is now compatible with
 				<a target="_top" href="http://www.jboss.org">JBoss 2.4.0</a>.

                 <h3>Release 1.0.4</h3>

                 <p>Release 1.0.4 debuted the finished Tapestry Home and Virtual Library.
