Apache Wicket 6.15.0 released

23 Apr 2014

The Apache Wicket PMC is proud to announce Apache Wicket 6.15.0!

This release marks the fifteenth 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

This release fixes 25 bugs and adds the following improvements:

The second level page store has been disabled by default (see issue WICKET-5554 for more details).
Created new placeholder tag to indicate where header contributions should appear. See this blog post entry or paragraph 15.8 of the official guide.

This release also celebrates the 10th birthday of Wicket!
