There is no official support from us, since we are all volunteers :-).
Your manager
might become happy from a document on the wicket site claiming anything about
our releases, but what actually matters is:

- is anyone willing to fix an issue in any version at all
- is it possible to craft a release for that version (for example 1.3
can't be built
anymore within the team because of missing Java 1.4 JDKs for their platforms)

 The current major release and the major release prior to that are actively
supported. So currently that is 6.x and 1.5.x. Older releases might get security
fixes.

Which is not too bad, considering 1.5.x was crafted a long time ago, and most
projects have migrated to 6.x.

This page provides some insight into which releases are supported.
