Pax Wicket - 1.0.0

Mar 28, 2012

Release 1.0.0 (Wicket 5, 2012-03-28)

Overview

The 1.0.0 release is the first release with Wicket 5 (aka 1.5.x) support. It contains 5 bug-fixes identified during the 0.8.x line and some small improvements. Besides the Wicket upgrade the 1.0.0 release also contains a Pax Exam (2.4.0) and Pax Logging (1.6.5) upgrade. A small feature had been added to the test framework to workaround some of the harder validation rules of Wicket 5. Besides of that the only things which require an upgrade are related to the Wicket changes between Wicket 4 (aka 1.4.x) and Wicket 5 and not between Pax Wicket 0.8.x and 1.0.0.

Upgrade from 0.8.x

To upgrade an application from any of the 0.8.x versions the following steps have to be done

Change from Wicket 4 (aka 1.4.x) to Wicket 5 (1.5.x)

Pax Wicket 1.0.0 upgrades it's Wicket version to 5. There are quite a lot of changes which will be required therefore for your application. Google and the Wicket mailing lists provide all information required therefore. Pax Wicket should not be involved in any of those changes though!
