I"E*<p>The Apache Wicket PMC is proud to announce Apache Wicket 9.0.0-M1!</p>

<p>Apache Wicket is an open source Java component oriented web application
framework that powers thousands of web applications and web sites for
governments, stores, universities, cities, banks, email providers, and
more. You can find more about Apache Wicket at https://wicket.apache.org</p>

<p>This release marks the first milestone of the major release of Wicket 9. 
Since Wicket 9 is still in development, backward api compatibility between 
milestone release is not guaranteed.
We will continue to use semantic versioning when we will made Wicket 9 final 
and maintain api compatibility between minor versions of Wicket 9.</p>

<h2 id="new-and-noteworthy">New and noteworthy</h2>

<p><strong>Java 11 support</strong></p>

<p>The new milestone requires Java 11 as minimum version.</p>

<p><strong>JUnit 5 support</strong></p>

<p>Wicket 9 has been migrated from JUnit 4 to 5. Module junit-vintage-engine is provided as test dependency to
make old tests work without migrating all the code to JUnit 5.</p>

<p><strong>Test with newer Java versions</strong></p>

<p>Wicket 9 branch is also tested with Java 12 and 13 as part of OpenJDK Quality Outreach project
lead by Oracle OpenJDK team. For more informations see the following link:</p>

<p>http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/Fwd-Testing-Apache-Wicket-with-JDK-Early-Access-builds-td4681441.html</p>

<p><strong>Rework page and data storage</strong></p>

<p>The internal mechanism used to store page instances has been reworked and refactored to be simpler and easier to use.</p>

<h2 id="using-this-release">Using this release</h2>

update any other dependencies on Wicket projects to the same version):</p>
