The Apache Wicket PMC is proud to announce Apache Wicket 6.4.0!
This release marks the fourth minor release of Wicket 6. Starting with Wicket 6 we use semantic versioning for the future development of Wicket, and as such no API breaks are present in this release compared to 6.0.0.
New and noteworthy
JQuery was upgraded to 1.8.3, bootstrap to 2.2.2.
JSR 303 BeanValidation support
Native support for BeanValidation (JSR 303) was added as an experimental module and released as version 0.5. You can grab it by using these maven coordinates:
- org.apache.wicket:wicket-bean-validation:0.5:jar
or by pasting in the pom snippet below:
Note that this is an experimental module and that it is not released under the SemVer rules. Use at your own risk.
Hierarchical feedback panel
A new kind of feedback panel was introduced: a hierarchical feedback panel. A specialized feedback panel that only displays messages from inside a fence defined by a container component. Instances will not show messages coming from inside a nested fence, allowing the nesting of these panels to work correctly without displaying the same feedback message twice. A constructor that does not takes a fencing component creates a catch-all panel that shows messages that do not come from inside any fence or from the Session.
For more information see the FencedFeedbackPanel javadoc.
For the full changelog see the release notes attached to the end of this announcement.
