| I" <p>We have released the third of a series of milestone releases for Apache |
| Wicket 7. We aim to finalise Wicket 7 over the coming months and |
| request your help in testing the new major version.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="caveats">Caveats</h3> |
| |
| <p>It is still a development version so expect minor API breaks to happen over |
| the course of the coming milestone releases.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="semantic-versioning">Semantic versioning</h3> |
| |
| <p>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.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="requirements">Requirements</h3> |
| |
| <p>Wicket 7 requires the following:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Java 7</li> |
| <li>Servlet 3 compatible container</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>You canât mix wicket libraries from prior Wicket versions with Wicket 7.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="migration-guide">Migration guide</h3> |
| |
| <p>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.</p> |
