The Apache Wicket PMC is proud to announce Apache Wicket 6.7.0!
This release marks the seventh 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
webfonts are now supported
Our resource guard that prevents access to classpath resources that are not intended to be shared through the web server is a whitelist of permissable resource extensions. Typically images, JavaScript files, stylesheets are on the whitelist, but the file types for webfonts were blocked. From Wicket 6.7 and onward you can now embed webfonts with your components and link to them from your stylesheets.
Render a page or component to a String
One of the issues that keeps propping up on the user lists is the ability to render a page or component to a String so that you can use Wicket to render HTML email messages. Now you can use ComponentRenderer to actually do so without having to resort to other less obvious methods.
ComponentRenderer exposes two methods: renderComponent and
renderPage and they do exactly what their names suggest. Happy
emailing!
