RichFaces 4.0.0.M1 has been released!! This is the first of our monthly releases on the road to the 4.0.0.Final release. From here on out every month we will release an updated milestone with new components, features, and stabilization!
As always you can download the release at the RichFaces Download page and the readme.txt in the RichFaces-4.0.0.M1 distribution contains all you need to get started and integrate the library into your application. If you are using maven for your project you can follow the wiki instructions: How to add RichFaces 4.X to Maven Based Project.
For all the details you can review the 4.0.0.M1 Release Notes. and please let us know of any problems for bugs you may find.
Some notable updates:
- Improvements to the Component Development Kit (CDK)
- New components: jQuery, togglePanel, list, dataGrid, panel, and popup
- Added named queue support for our queue implementation
- Further improvements to our iteration components; rich:dataTable, and rich:extendedDataTable
- Stabilization works for migrated code. Automation tests with quint, junit.
Draft CDK Development Guide
We're also really glad to announce a new 'CDK Guide' document started by Bernard Labno ( who's also working on a scheduler component for 4.0)! For now it is a google document and is not complete, but worth a look through. We are planning to shift this to a wiki based guide on the CDK in order to be closer to our community. Bernard has done a great job starting the document, and any feedback or contributions are welcome!
Milestone2 and Beyond
Our next release is going to be 4.0.0.M2 and is scheduled for release in late August. At that point CDK and core should be stable, and component migration should be in full swing. If we are missing your favorite component, or if you find an issue please let us know either through our forums, or our project jira. You can also see our current plans by following the 4.0.0.Milestone2 project in jira, or dropping by one of our public IRC meetings. See the Project Calendar and the Meeting Information page for more details, agendas, and minutes.

Known Issues
We found some last minute issues, that may effect some users, and wanted to post information on them here.
Errors opening distribution by some zip applications
Because of rf-8904 some zip clients may have a problem opening the RichFaces distribution file. This is caused by long file names that are not supported by all clients. We were not able to complete in time for this release, but it will be in for M2.
JBoss AS 6 Integration
When deploying RichFaces 4.0.0.M1 applications to JBoss AS 6 SNAPSHOT you need to do the following to deploy correctly:
Archetype
The archetype packaged with the RichFaces distribution has an issue RF-8947 which causes it not to work correctly. This will be resolved shortly, and will be available in the SNAPSHOT, and 4.0.0.M2 release.
