The Apache Wicket PMC is proud to announce Apache Wicket 7.0.0-M4!
We have released another milestone release for Apache Wicket 7. We aim to finalise Wicket 7 over the coming months and request your help in testing the new major version.
Caveats
It is still a development version so expect API breaks to happen over the course of the coming milestone releases.
Semantic versioning
As we adopted semver Wicket 7 will be the first release since 6.0 where we are able to refactor the API. We will continue to use semver when we have made Wicket 7 final and maintain api compatibility between minor versions of Wicket 7.
Requirements
Wicket 7 requires the following:
- Java 7
- Servlet 3 compatible container
You can’t mix wicket libraries from prior Wicket versions with Wicket 7.
Migration guide
As usual we have a migration guide available online for people migrating their applications to Wicket 7. We will continue to update the guide as development progresses. If you find something that is not in the guide, please update the guide, or let us know so we can update the guide.
You can find the guide here: http://s.apache.org/wicket7migrate
