Wicket Version Support

[Mihir Chhaya <mi...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

This is regarding technical support for various Wicket Versions.
I am aware of community and commercial support information available on
Wicket website at
https://wicket.apache.org/help/

But, I am looking for additional information on following:
1) Is there any strategy/rules for technical support available only from
certain version and beyond? One might get support from community for any
historical version, but Apache Wicket might no longer be releasing patch
for those.

2) One of the developers from another team at my work location mentioned
that only last two or three versions are supported at any given time. Could
anybody please shed light on this?

3) Is there any link/documentation available which could be referred for
managers to look at the Wicket website itself for the list of officially
supported versions? This might sound weird to ask though, but it is just
one of those 'Is it officially mentioned anywhere?' kind of question.

Thanks,
-Mihir.

There is no official support from us, since we are all volunteers :-).
Your manager
might become happy from a document on the wicket site claiming anything about
our releases, but what actually matters is:

- is anyone willing to fix an issue in any version at all
- is it possible to craft a release for that version (for example 1.3
can't be built
anymore within the team because of missing Java 1.4 JDKs for their platforms)

 The current major release and the major release prior to that are actively
supported. So currently that is 6.x and 1.5.x. Older releases might get security
fixes.

Which is not too bad, considering 1.5.x was crafted a long time ago, and most
projects have migrated to 6.x.

This page provides some insight into which releases are supported.
