Whats 0.8 about?

[count.negative ()]

Hy,

I've just checked out the trunk in SVN and what did I see?
Yes, there is a 0.8 version. But what are you doing here. Is it already usable? What are your future plans (not seen on http://sites.google.com/site/wicketrad/roadmap--ideas).

I'm glad to see, that you're working on the project again.

Hi,
I have been really poor at updating the roadmap, mostly because it has been in flux.

0.8 in svn is usable (wicket-jpa and wicket-rad-core projects), though the table component has been entirely removed, as I was somewhat unhappy with it (table components are notoriously hard to get right, and I didn't). The Wicket JPA package is a much improved version of the Open Session In View pattern, which is simplified and more scalable, it doesn't open a connection unless it needs to.

Also, everything is running of Wicket 1.4 now.

I know, working in details of a project is kinda flow...

BUT

I've learned (when doing business in a company) that marketing is often underestimated. So, take a small time, sit down, take a free brain (not between two deadlines, maybe on a rainy saturday afternoon) and think about your ambitions.
Then write it down in your Roadmap.
Everyone's watching this project (like me, maybe taking it for crud components in our company) can see that this one is not dead. Wicket 1.4 is hot and it's a real feature to support it yet (databinder: 1.3.5).

This is a little tip from what I've learned when fighting against the evils of Struts/JSF with my double wicket light saber.
