This is the second beta for Apache Wicket we have prepared for your pleasure. It also marks the first release since we have been graduated to a top level project of the Apache Software Foundation.
In this announcement: - Apache Wicket - This release - Migrating from 1.2 - Downloading the release - Validating the release - Reporting bugs Eager people click here to download the distribution, others can read further: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/wicket/1.3.0-beta2/ We thank you for your patience and support. Next stop: 1.3 final! The Wicket Team -= Apache Wicket =- Apache Wicket is a component oriented Java web application framework currently undergoing incubation at the Apache Software foundation. With proper mark-up/logic separation, a POJO data model, and a refreshing lack of XML, Apache Wicket makes developing web-apps simple and enjoyable again. Swap the boilerplate, complex debugging and brittle code for powerful, reusable components written with plain Java and HTML. We are still in the process of migrating our infrastructure to reflect our top level status, so for now the Apache Wicket website is still found at the incubator: http://incubator.apache.org/wicket -= This release =- This release is the second in a series of beta releases until we feel confident to finalize Wicket 1.3. This is called a beta because we don't have fixed all bugs, and probably haven't found them all either (can you ever be sure?). However, we are confident that most major API changes are in and therefore want to give you access to a more stable platform than depending on trunk. The most notable change (apart from then numerous bug fixes) is the new Guice integration: Wicket now ships with integration for Google's Guice. To make that happen, some shared functionality has been extracted from Wicket Spring and put into a new module: Wicket IoC. - Migrating from 1.2 - If you are coming from Wicket 1.2, you really want to read our migration guide, found on the wiki: http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/migrate-13.html - Downloading the release - You can download the release from the official Apache mirror system, and you can find it through the following link: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/wicket/1.3.0-beta2/ For the Maven and Ivy fans out there: update your pom's to the following, and everything will be downloaded automatically: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.wicket</groupId> <artifactId>wicket</artifactId> <version>1.3.0-beta2</version> </dependency> Substitute the artifact ID with the projects of your liking to get the other projects. Please note that we don't prescribe a Logging implementation for SLF4J. You need to specify yourself which one you prefer.
