First Milestone release Apache Wicket 7.0.0-M1

We have released the first of a series of milestone releases for
Apache Wicket 7. We aim to finalise Wicket 7 over the coming months
and request your help in testing the new major version.

Caveats

It is still a development version so expect API breaks to happen over
the course of the coming milestone releases.

Semantic versioning

As we adopted semver Wicket 7 will be the first release since 6.0
where we are able to refactor the API. We will continue to use semver
when we have made Wicket 7 final and maintain api compatibility
between minor versions of Wicket 7.

Requirements

Wicket 7 requires the following:
- Java 7
- Servlet 3 compatible container

You can't mix wicket libraries from prior Wicket versions with Wicket 7.

Migration guide

As usual we have a migration guide available online for people
migrating their applications to Wicket 7. We will continue to update
the guide as development progresses. If you find something that is not
in the guide, please update the guide, or let us know so we can update
the guide.

You can find the guide here: http://s.apache.org/wicket7migrate
