Apache Wicket 8.0.0-M1 released

25 Jul 2016

The Apache Wicket PMC is proud to announce Apache Wicket 8.0.0-M1!

Apache Wicket is an open source Java component oriented web application framework that powers thousands of web applications and web sites for governments, stores, universities, cities, banks, email providers, and more. You can find more about Apache Wicket at https://wicket.apache.org

This release marks the first milestone of the major release of Wicket 8. We use semantic versioning for the development of Wicket, and as such no API breaks are present breaks are present in this release compared to 8.0.0.

New and noteworthy

Beside a lot of changes which were implemented in Apache Wicket 7, the new milestone of the major version of Apache Wicket 8 provides some great features.

  • Lambda support for Models and Components (See “Lambda Expressions” chapter in the user guide)

  • NestedStringResourceLoader to replace nested keys within property files

  • A lot of bugfixes and improvements

Features which were almost ready and will be available with 8.0.0-M2

  • PushBuilder API integration [WICKET-6194] (See “Wicket HTTP/2 Support (Experimental)” chapter in the user guide)

Features which were set to “won’t fix”

  • Microservices support (decoupled component usage) [WICKET-6112]

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>8.0.0-M1</version>
</dependency>

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

Upgrading from earlier versions

If you upgrade from 8.y.z this release is a drop in replacement. If you come from a version prior to 8.0.0, please read our Wicket 7 migration guide found at
