- better integration and BDD testing support, including Cucumber-JVM
integration
- domain services for handling application and user settings service
- domain service providing various developer utilities (eg downloading
metamodel)
- domain service incorporating Guava's EventBus service);
- context-specific autoComplete
- conditional choices
- new annotations: @SortedBy; @CssClass; @PostsPropertyChangedEvent
- helpers for writing contract unit tests and for writing comparable
entities
- optimistic locking improvements


In the Wicket viewer, new features include:

- default dashboard
- more sophisticated layouts, with multiple columns
- dynamic reloading of layouts
- sortable table columns
- BlobPanel displaying images
- bookmarkable actions
- upgrade to wicket 6.11.0


In JDO objectstore, new features include:

- better integration/validation between Isis and JDO metamodels
- upgrade to DataNucleus 3.2.7
- better Google App Engine compatibility
- expose JDO PersistenceManager via domain service for more sophisticated
use cases


The Restful Objects viewer also had several bug fixes vis-a-vis the RO spec
v1.0.

In addition to all that, there is a new "simple" archetype, making it
easier to get started.
