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].

- 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].

- Fixed Column which exposed its internal Comparator as public API through Column.setComparator(Comparator), instead of java.util.Comparator. [430].
