The first release candidate for Wicket 1.1 is available for download and testing. We have started the countdown to Wicket 1.1 final, and expect to release 1.1 in two to three weeks. This release fixes several bugs, a full listing can be found here. Here is a list of most notable changes and fixes:

• Moved resource reference classes from extensions into core
• Infinite loop when adding attributemodifier twice
• Buttons can have a model now, for the buttons value attribute
• Odd behaviour when Wicket is the "root" (/*) servlet
• Removed dependency on concurrent.jar
• Now allow multiple ajax handler implementations to contribute to the page's header

Please download this release and give us feedback.

A new example has been added to the examples section: StockQuote Example. This example is also available in the examples download.

Due to unwarranted advertisements by our old page counter service, we have moved to another ad-free statistics engine by onestat.com.

Wicket 1.1-beta 4 is available for download and testing. This is a beta release, so you may expect some API changes. We are busy in the end game before we freeze the API, and running behind on our published schedule for 1.1 final. In order to be able to ship 1.1 final soon, we need your testing support! Most notable features in this release are:

• Removed the (optional) dependency on commons-fileupload, made the support internal for Wicket
• Made the coupling of Wicket to the servlet spec more loose, enabling usage of Wicket on platforms outside a servlet container, such as portlets, or embedded servers
• Stripping of markup in Wicket namespace (e.g. wicket:id, wicket:label) is almost complete with setStripWicketTag(true)
• Invisible components are not rendered any more
• Added basic AJAX support: DOJO and script.aculo.us libraries are now available for experimentation.

A minor bugfix release has been issued for PageableListViewNavigation. The 1.0.3 version doesn't have any other improvements or fixes.

If you are using Wicket 1.0 and use the PageableListViewNavigation or the PageableListViewNavigator, then we advise you to upgrade to this version. Note that when you upgrade from 1.0.1, you may experience some backwards incompatibilities, as outlined in the 1.0.2 release notes.
