The Apache Wicket PMC is proud to announce Apache Wicket 6.13.0!
This release marks the thirteenth 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
------------------
This release fixes 25 bugs and adds the following improvements:
* Online Wicket User guide (see below)
* CDI 1.1 support (see below)
* JQuery upgraded from 1.10.1 to 1.10.2
* Implemented BigIntegerConverter
* Migrate Wicket-Atmosphere to Atmosphere 2
New Wicket User guide

After many years of people asking for a reference guide for Apache
Wicket we finally were able to add one to our site thanks to Andrea del
Bene and comSysto for writing the guide and providing the hours of
converting it to our site.

and PDF.

New CDI-1.1 integration project
-------------------------------
A new (experimental) module for CDI integration was added to support
CDI 1.1 with Wicket. As CDI 1.0 and 1.1 are different beasts and not
compatible, we had to craft a new module with specific support for the
new CDI standard. The module is still experimental, but we expect to
make it a default module in a couple of releases.
You can use the new Wicket CDI module by including the following
dependency in your POM:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.wicket</groupId>
<artifactId>wicket-cdi-1.1</artifactId>
<version>0.2</version>
</dependency>
Note that you have to remove the old wicket-cdi module and the Seam
conversation dependency: org.jboss.seam.conversation:seam-conversation-weld
For more information about what is new in CDI 1.1 read this blog post
by Pete Muir: http://s.apache.org/newincdi11
JQuery update in 6.9.0
----------------------
As of Wicket 6.9 we ship JQuery 1.10.1. The JQuery project has
decided to remove deprecated APIs from their codebase from JQuery 1.9
and up. This means that JQuery plugins using these deprecated APIs no
longer work. See the JQuery migration guide for more information,
available from http://jquery.com/upgrade-guide/1.9/
If your application depends on these deprecated APIs you can easily
downgrade to JQuery 1.8.3-the previously provided JQuery that still
contains these APIs. Download the 1.8.3 release of jquery and add it
to your project in its application's init method:
@Override
protected void init() {
getJavaScriptLibrarySettings()
.setJQueryReference(yourJquery183ResourceReference);
}
CDI injection issue
-------------------
In the CDI releases of Weld 2.0.1 and prior, it was assumed that
injection in anonymous inner classes was not legal and when
attempted, it resulted in an exception:
Caused by: org.jboss.weld.exceptions.DefinitionException:
WELD-000070 Simple bean [EnhancedAnnotatedTypeImpl] private class
com.example.HomePage$AForm cannot be a non-static inner class
This was reported as
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-5226, as it became an
issue in Glassfish 4, which ships with Weld 2.0.1 (or earlier). We
implemented a fix for this particular issue by not injecting into
anonymous inner classes.
Unfortunately this was not a bug that needed fixing on our part, but
rather in the Weld framework (see
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-1441)
Therefore we reverted the commits done for WICKET-5226 and hope that
Glassfish will upgrade their Weld implementation soon. For the whole
story read
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-5264
Glassfish has fixed this in trunk according to
https://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-20619
but the fix has yet to be integrated into a release.
Using this release
------------------
With Apache Maven update your dependency to (and don't forget to
update any other dependencies on Wicket projects to the same version):
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.wicket</groupId>
<artifactId>wicket-core</artifactId>
<version>6.13.0</version>
</dependency>
Or download and build the distribution yourself, or use our
convenience binary package

Upgrading from earlier versions
