I sent a note out back in August but that was for the trunk/nightly builds.
Now that 4.9 is released with this change, here's that message updated:

The SOLO deploy jsp and command line lzdeploy utilities now produce a W3C
widget-compatible file format (.wgt file).  This is still a zip format file,
just with a different filename suffix.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets/ for a description of the packaging format.

This is almost identical to our previous SOLO file format and content with
three changes:

1) A file named "index.html" is generated, which loads the app. Previously
the file was named "yourapp.lzx.html".

2) A config.xml file is generated, which contains the W3C widgetconfiguration

3) An icon file named "widget-icon.png" is added, which is used as the
default icon for the widget

Since the config.xml file format seems to be in a state of flux for
different target environments, there is a directory of templates for the
config.xml file in lps/admin/widget-templates. New templates can be added to
that directory, and will be picked up if you specify a "widgettype" arg to
the deployer utilities. The default is "w3c" format.
