•  Issue 68  Upgrade ZK for 0.7 series to 3.6.3

Enhancement

• This version includes ZK 3.6.3.
• You can now embed a ZUL page (as fragments) into a GSP using two tags: <z:head/> and <z:body/>. So you can leverage UrlMapping and also Sitemesh decoration for your ZUL pages. Thanks wehe@gmx.at, for this contribution.

Both tags accept zul="your zul page" attribute, like: <z:body zul="/test/index.zul"/>. And by default, these tags automatically detect from which controller or action you're rendering. If you're rendering a page from TestController.index, then both tags find the /test/index.zul file for you. This is the same convention used by Grails' views.

• You can now use the build property, a ZkBuilder of the current ZUL page, inside your GrailsComposer to create ZK user-interface.
