Apache Wicket 6.5.0 released

23 Jan 2013

The Apache Wicket PMC is proud to announce Apache Wicket 6.5.0!

This release marks the fifth 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

Behavior.onRemove(Component)

org.apache.wicket.Behavior has a new method - #onRemove(Component). This callback method is called when a host component of this behavior is removed from its parent.

Global updaters for Ajax request attributes

By registering a custom AjaxRequestTarget.AbstractListener the application can manipulate all the attributes for all Ajax requests.

Example:

application.getAjaxRequestTargetListeners().add(new AjaxRequestTarget.AbstractListener()
{
	@Override
	public void updateAjaxAttributes(AjaxRequestAttributes attributes)
	{
		super.updateAjaxAttributes(attributes);
		attributes.setChannel(new AjaxChannel("globalAjaxChannel", AjaxChannel.Type.ACTIVE));
	}
});

Each Ajax behavior/component can override such global settings.

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>6.5.0</version>
</dependency>

Or download and build the distribution yourself, or use our convenience binary package

Upgrading from earlier versions

If you upgrade from 6.y.z this release is a drop in replacement. If you come from a version prior to 6.0.0, please read our Wicket 6 migration guide found at

Have fun!
