Issues resolved for RC1:

• Refactored Paginator into a more generic interface called Renderable which is independent of any specific Control [434].
• Add new LinkDecorator methods renderActionLink and renderActionButton. This allows more fine grained control over the rendered links, for example manipulating request parameters. [446].
• Add Table Row attribute support through new method addRowAttributes. This issue was raised by Hans Poo [431].
• Field error messages can now be specified per instance. See the JavaDoc for more details. This issue was raised and fixed by Ricardo Lecheta [433].
• Added new utility methods copyContainerToObject and copyObjectToContainer to selectively exclude or include form fields when populating domain objects. This issue was raised by Khalef Bessaih [440].
• Encapsulate conversion logic of template extensions inside Page.setRedirect(java.lang.String) which allows one to override or overload the default behavior. This issue was raised by David Ballard [429].
• Improved Table so that subclasses can specify a different controlLink implementation by overriding getControlLink(). This issue was raised and fixed by Ricardo Lecheta [442].
• Improved ClickUtils.toLabel to return empty String ("") if argument is null [441].
• Improved DateField to return a cached Date representation on subsequent retrievals. This issue was raised by Tore Halset [316].
• Fixed RegexField validation to ignore empty values. This issue was raised by Muzaffer Ozakca [436].
• Fixed TabbedPanel to trigger the registered tab listener. This issue was raised by Marcelo Grassi Franco Melgaço. [432].
• Improved redirect and forward to JSP templates. [435].
• Fixed HtmlFieldSet to properly close the fieldset end tag. This issue was raised by Gilberto C. Andrade [427].
• Fixed AbstractContainerField not to bind its request parameter. This issue was raised by Gilberto C. Andrade [428].
• Fixed Column which exposed its internal Comparator as public API through Column.setComparator(Comparator), instead of java.util.Comparator. [430].
• Fixed LinkDecorator not to add Table parameters to PageLink, as it is redundant. This issue was raised by Joel Schmidt [270].

Enjoy Click.
