Release Notes Knopflerfish 2.4.0 (OSGi R4.0.1)
----------------------------------------------

  Maintenance release of Knopflerfish available from
  http://www.knopflerfish.org/releases/2.4.0

  Here follows a breakdown of the most important changes since the
  last release.


=== Framework (Core) ===

  Framework 4.1.13

  When using the default non-strict classloading the bundle
  classloader now also skips instances of java.lang.reflect.Proxy on
  the call stack.

  Fixed problem with object being released to early. Caused bundle
  install problems with Skelmir JVM.

  Fixed a problem with the start level service. Changing the start
  level of an installed bundle that where resolved but not to marked
  to be started resulted in a start of that bundle if the new
  start-level was such that bundles should be started on it.


=== Services (Compendium) ===

  Event 2.0.9
  
  - Fixed problem with synchronization and missed events with wildcard
    listeners. Corrected symbolic name property.
  - Events posted by an eventhandler called from a deliver thread will
    be scheduled to for delivery by that thread. This avoids an
    explosion in number of deliver threads when events are posted by
    event listeners.
  - Asynchronous event delivery are now made using several delivery
    queues, one queue for each thread that posts events. Added bundle
    user documentation that describes the properties that may be used
    to configure the event admin implementation.
  - Improved event delivery when timeout is used. Timeout blacklisting
    is canceled if EventHandler returns. Event delivery thread is, if
    possible, reused to deliver events.
  - Added property org.knopflerfish.eventadmin.timewarning which can
    be used to detect slow event handlers. If a event handler takes
    longer than this time to finish a log entry will be written. This
    property will not work in combination with the
    org.knopflerfish.eventadmin.timeout property.
  - Improved performance a lot by rewriting the whole mechanism for
    matching events to event handlers during event delivery. General
    clean up and removal of dead code.


  Declarative-Services 2.0.2 (aka SCR (Service Component Runtime))

  - The Service-Component header in the manifest file now supports
    "spaces" to separate between DS files.

    This problem was reported the SourceForge bug tracker, item 2556558:
    https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2883959&group_id=82798&atid=567241


  Preferences 2.0.4

  - Removing a node, calling flush and then creating a new node with
    the same name resulted in an IllegalStateException when trying to
    put a value to the re-created node. The implementation erroneously
    returned the old, stale, instance of the Preferences-object for
    the node.


  Http 2.1.8

  - Implement URL rewrite to support sessions when Cookies are turned of.
    The methods encodeURL(String) and encodeRedirectURL(String) in
    the HttpServletResponse class now inserts the session id at the
    end of the path part of the URL. The HttpServletRequest now
    extracts the session id from the path when present.
  - Return correctly formated IPv6 addresses from
    HttpServletRequest.getRequestURL().
  - When a registered resource was fetched and the request contained
    an 'If-Modified-Since'-header with a date value that did not parse
    correctly the fetch was aborted with an
    IllegalArgumentException. That exception is now caught and the
    'If-Modified-Since'-header is ignored when this happens.
  - Added support for responding with "Content-Encoding: gzip" for
    resources when the request header "Accept-Encoding" indicates that
    gzip:ed repsonses are preferred.
  - The non-standard request header "Proxy-Connection" is now
    recognized and handled in the same way as the standardized
    "Connection" header.
  - Fixed a problem in the parsing of the HTTP request line when it
    originated from a proxy-server. Such requests may have an absolute
    URI (with scheme and authority before the path) not just a path
    with optional query data.
  - Fixed problem with calls to HttpContext getMimeType(). The value
    of the name parameter was not the same as in the corresponding
    call to getResource() (the original URI path was used instead of
    the translated target resource name).
  

=== Misc (KF specific, start scripts, build system etc ===


  Desktop Bundle 2.3.17

  - The selection in the large icon displayer may now be changed using
    the arrow-keys. Multiple selections using the mouse on the Mac now
    uses the Command-key (was Control) as modifier.
  - Added a new sort order based on start level to the large icon
    displayer.
  - The large icon display now uses the system text highlight color as
    background color for selected bundle. The tooltips in the large
    icon displayer now includes the full bundle name.
  - If multiple bundles where selected when doing an update all
    bundles but one was de-selected after the update. The pre-update
    selection state is now preserved.
  - The initial number of columns in the bundles display is now
    adjusted based on the size of that display (as when manually
    moving the split pane divider).
  - Pressing Control-A (Command-A) in the large icons displayer now
    selects all bundles.
  - Application listeners on Mac OS X was not properly un-installed
    when the desktop was stopped, this showed up as a null-pointer
    exception in the BundleClassLoader when Quit was called from the
    application menu. Back-ported the OSXAdapter changes from
    KF-3. The desktop now installs its icon as the Mac OS X dock icon
    of the JVM it executes in.
  - Improved performance when many update events are sent to the
    services view. The update of the view is now scheduled as job on
    the EDT (Event Dispatch Thread) which when executed will update
    the view according to the most recent event, any intermediate
    events (i.e., events that arrived between the scheduling of the
    job and execution of it) will be ignored.
  - When using the dektop to manage a remote framework the bundles
    shown on the left was those running on the local framework and not
    those on the remote framework.


  Bundlerepository 2.0.3

  - The bundle repository tab in the desktop listens to bundles
    selections and when it received such event it cleared the current
    selection and re-selected the bundle that the event was
    for. Effectively stopping multi-selections of bundles. This
    behaviour is now fixed, it will allways show one of the selected
    bundles (currently no support for multiple bundles selections in
    this view).


  axis-osgi 0.1.0.1

  - All classes refrenced from jars inside this bundle are now
    imported using resolution=optional for those that should not be
    needed. Added explicit export and import of the org.xml.transform
    packages to avoid a linkage error on the method
    "org.apache.axis.SOAPPart.setContent(Ljavax/xml/transform/Source;)V"


  consoletelnet 2.0.4

  - Fixed problem with double CR generated when using most clients.
    Added configuration prorperty
    "org.knopflerfish.consoletelnet.busywait", which causes the telnet
    input reader to do busy wait (useful if you don't have real
    threads). Default value "false". Earlier versions of consoletelnet
    always did busy wait.


  httpclient_connector 2.1.1

  - Made SSL support optional (i.e. Import-Package of javax.crypto,
    javax.crypto.spec, javax.net and javax.net.ssl are now optional).


  Build System

  - The bundle tasks that performs analysis of a bundle to derive and
    validate manifest headers like Import-Package, Export-Package and
    Bundle-Activator now uses the ASM 3.2 library that is included in
    the deliverables (knopflerfish.org/osgi/framework/libs/). These
    tasks was previously based on the BCEL library which each user had
    to download herself.
  - The BundleLocator task now supports version wild-cards like 1.N.N
    and 3.2.N to search for bundles with major (major and minor)
    version parts locked. Previously it only supported wild-cards
    selecting the highest available version.
  - The search order when expanding the bundle compile path has been
    changed. Bundles are now search for in "${jars.dir}" (the local
    repository) and if not found there the search continues in
    "${osgi.dir}/jars" (the default repository).

Release Notes Knopflerfish 2.3.3 (OSGi R4.0.1)
----------------------------------------------

  Maintenance release of Knopflerfish available from
  http://www.knopflerfish.org/releases/2.3.3/


  Here follows a breakdown of the most important changes since the
  last release.


=== Framework (Core) ===

  Framework 4.1.10

  Fixed an error in the implementation of
  SercviceReference.isAssignableTo(...). 
  The symptom of this problem where that service listeners was
  notified about services of types that where not compatible with the
  set of packages available to the bundle that has registered the
  listener. Potentially causing ClassCastExceptions when the bundle
  tried to use the service.

  This problem was reported the SourceForge bug tracker, item 2833557:
  https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2833557&group_id=82798&atid=567241

  The first correction of SercviceReference.isAssignableTo(...) in 4.1.9
  did not handle services registered by a bundle accessing the service
  package through Require-Bundle. This was fixed in 4.1.10.

  This problem was reported the SourceForge bug tracker, item 2844362:
  https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2844362&group_id=82798&atid=567241

  Added support for loading data on demand from bundles installed via
  a file reference URLs when org.knopflerfish.framework.bundlestorage
  is set to memory.  This reduces memory usage and start-up time. Also
  fixed some bugs which caused the framework to save files when we run
  in memory mode.  These changes was supplied by Dimitry Polivaev.

  The framework event for packages refreshed now uses the system
  bundle as the bundle associated with the event (as mandated in the
  4.2 specification).

  The Java package provided by Apple JREs for application integration
  where not properly exported by the SystemBundle when running on Java
  6, causing bad behavior in the desktop bundle. This problem was
  reported in the SourceForge bug tracker. item 2851929:
  https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2851929&group_id=82798&atid=567241



=== Services (Compendium) ===


  Declarative-Services 2.0.1

  A service that is optional (cardinality 0..1) and dynamically bound
  that is not present when the component is activated was never bound.
  Such services is now bound when the first matching service becomes
  available.

  This problem was reported the SourceForge bug tracker, item 2556558
  and 2843399:
  https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2556558&group_id=82798&atid=567241


  Http 2.1.4

  Added support for a couple of HTTP 1.1 features:

    - expect 100-continue behavior
    - for last modification time (to enable browsers to cache resources)

  These changes was supplied by Sylvain MARIE on behalf of the OSGi
  DPWS Base Driver project, hosted at SOA4D forge
  (https://forge.soa4d.org/).


  User Admin 2.0.2

  Eliminated a null pointer exception that could occur after
  reloading the user database.



=== Misc (KF specific, start scripts, build system etc ===


  Desktop Bundle 2.3.11

  The number of log entries hold in memory by the log view is now
  limited. The default value is 342. It may be changed by setting the
  property named
  "org.knopflerfish.bundle.log.window.impl.LogTableModel.capacity" to
  whatever value you want. Negative values means no limit (other than
  the currently available memory) on the number of entries kept.
  
  The log view now presents service properties in the log entry
  details pane when a service reference are included in the log
  entry.

  When connecting to a remote desktop a NullPointerException was
  triggered, since the log-object that should be available during the
  entire life-cycle of the desktop bundle was closed as part of
  closing down the old GUI (frame). The log-object is now closed when
  the desktop bundle is stopped.

  Added support for multi-byte characters in the console output
  presentation. This changes was proposed in the SourceForge bug
  tracker, item 2817205:
  https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2817205&group_id=82798&atid=567241

  The Mac OS X integration has been rewritten using the Apple provided
  OSXAdapter-class. Suggested in the SourceForge bug tracker. item 2851929:
  https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2851929&group_id=82798&atid=567241


  kXML Bundle 1.0.1

  Add export of the package "org.kxml2.kdom". Reported in the
  SourceForge bug tracker as item 2840884:
  https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2840884&group_id=82798&atid=567241


  kSOAP-FW 2.0.1

  Added implementations of a number of previously unimplemented
  methods in the remote version of the PackageAdmin-service.



========================================================================


Release Notes Knopflerfish 2.3.2 (OSGi R4.0.1)
----------------------------------------------

  Maintenance release of Knopflerfish available from
  http://www.knopflerfish.org/releases/2.3.2/


  Here follows a breakdown of the most important changes since the
  last release.


=== Framework (Core) ===

  Framework 4.1.7

  Added support for checking certificate chains against a Java Keystore or
  if they are self signed. By default it checks against cacerts keystore
  in Java runtime. Certificate checking requires Java 1.4 or later.
  Documentation and testing needs and will be improved before next release.

  Fixed bug when resolving bundles which didn't have export permissions for
  all its exported packages.

  Fixed bug with fragment bundleEvents sent to early during update.

  Fixed bug with non-string valued system properties. Reported in
  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2792210&group_id=82798&atid=567241


=== Services (Compendium) ===


  Http 2.1.2

  The thread handling timeout of HttpSessions is now destroyed when
  the HttpService is stopped. Thanks to Paul French for detecting and
  proposing this fix on the Knopflerfish-users mailing-list.

  HttpServlet.destroy() is now called when the HttpService is
  stopped. Previously it was only called when the alias the servlet
  was registered under was unregistered by calling
  HttpService.unregister(alias).


  Event 2.0.4

  Fixed a dead lock that could occur when you stopped the event service.


=== Misc (KF specific, start scripts, build system etc ===


  Desktop Bundle 2.3.7

  The stop()-method in the bundle activator did not check if it was
  already executing on the EDT (AWT Event Dispatch Thread) before
  sheduling execution on it using invokeAndWait(), causeing a
  potential dead-lock. This have now been fixed.

  Enhanced MacOS X Application integration, the "About" entry in the
  application menu now links to the desktops about dialog. Also fixed
  a bug, the application listener is now removed when the desktop
  bundle is stopped. Support new eawt classes distributed with
  "Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4".

  Fixed NullPointerException that occured when updating bundles with
  fragments.

  Fixed ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException that occured when uninstalling
  fragment bundles.

  The number of events hold in memory by an event view is now
  limited. The default value is 342. It may be changed by setting the
  property named
  "org.knopflerfish.bundle.desktop.event.EventTableModel.capacity" to
  whatever value you want. Negative values means no limit (other than
  the currently available memory) on the number of events keept.


  TTY Console 2.0.1

  Fixed the configuration description in metatype.xml so that it
  is a valid XML document using the OSGi metatype schema.


  HTTP Server 2.1.3

  Fixed the configuration description in metatype.xml so that it
  is a valid XML document using the OSGi metatype schema.


  KF Metatype 2.0.3

  Fixed bug with metatype information not being updated when bundle changes.


  JUnit 2.1.0

  Added supprot for using JUnit test listeners to monitor test case
  execution.

  See
  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2803570&group_id=82798&atid=567241


  JUnit Runner 2.1.0

  Added a test listener that prints all test events to System.out.


  Build System

  The obsolete build system used by test bundles in the directory
  "osgi/bundles_test/regression_test" have been removed. All those
  test bundles are now built using the same build system as all other
  bundles.

  Test target bundles (bundles installed and manipulated by a
  test-suite) have been moved from the
  "osgi/bundles_test/regression_tests" directory into a subdirectory
  named "test_target_bundles" under the test-suite bundle that uses
  the test target bundle. This makes the relation between test target
  bundles and the test-suite it belongs to visible, and it also
  simplifies the build process when building a particular test-suite.

  Some minor changes have been made to the bundle-info task. It is
  now possible to turn of the build error triggered by a missing
  bundle activator by setting the ant property
  "bundleinfo.failOnActivator" to false before importing
  bundlebuild.xml. White space is now allowed around the comma in the
  value of the ant properties "bundle.stdimports" and
  "bundle.extraimports".



========================================================================


Release Notes Knopflerfish 2.3.1 (OSGi R4.0.1)
----------------------------------------------

  Maintenance release of Knopflerfish available from
  http://www.knopflerfish.org/releases/2.3.1

  Here follows a breakdown of the most important changes since the
  last release.


=== Framework (Core) ===

  Framework 4.1.3

  Fixed parsing exception of saved ConditionalPermissionInfo data
  during restart of framework. Fixed persistent saving of
  initialBundleStartLevel in start level service.

  Fixed ClassCastException in getHeaders() for extension
  bundles. Rectified PackageAdmin.getExportedPackages() so that
  doesn't include packages from extension bundles and unresolved
  bundles.


=== Misc (KF specific, start scripts, build system etc ===


  Major documentation update. A tutorials section have been added. Old
  desktop and remotefw documentation have been updated and converted
  to bundle doc. Corrected incorrect or missing links in htdocs and
  bundle docs


  Crimson 2.0.1

  Fixed a class-loader issue that made it impossible to directly use
  the DocumentBuilderFactory to create new instances. Note that this
  bundle is not needed on new Java releases (the recommendation is to
  use the XML-parsing that is provided by the JRE, or the
  Xerces-bundle).


  Xalan 2.7.1.1

  This bundle now exports the javax.xml.transform.* packages. This makes
  it possible to use the method TranformerFactory.newInstance() to get
  a transformer-factory instance when the javax.xml.transform package
  have been imported from the Xalan-bundle.

  Note that these packages are exported with a version with the
  qualifier set to ".1" (1.3.0.1 to be precise) this makes them
  "better" than the version exported by the Xerces-bundle even though
  that they actually are identical. This trick makes the Xalan
  provided version of the packages the preferred one when bundles are
  resolved, thus hiding the version exported by the Xerces-bundle.


  Desktop 2.3.2

  Fixed a potential NullPointerException and removed a debug print.


========================================================================


Release Notes Knopflerfish 2.3.0 (OSGi R4.0.1)
----------------------------------------------

  Minor release of Knopflerfish available from
  http://www.knopflerfish.org/releases/2.3.0

  Here follows a breakdown of the most important changes since the
  last release.


=== Framework (Core) ===

  Framework 4.1.1

  We now implement the things we were missing in the framework,
  Conditional Permissions and certificates. There are some internal
  things missing, logging of some faults, documentation of new features
  and a connection to a keystore for validating certificates. This will
  improve in the near future.

  Added support for handling cases where classes on the boot class path
  needs access to other boot classes, even when they're not exposed
  directly via OSGi boot delegation.

  Since this is the default, the property org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation
  is now unset in the included props.xargs

  See the property org.knopflerfish.framework.strictbootclassloading
  in the framework readme.txt for more info

  Also added support for "dexified" Android bundles, see
  http://knopflerfish.blogspot.com/2009/01/knopflerfish-on-androiddalvik-vm.html

  NOTE! You can not use SUN JDK 1.5.0_16 can not be used if you want to handle
        certificates. There is a bug in the CodeSource API.



=== Services (Compendium) ===


  Preferences 2.0.3

  Remove preferences for a bundle when it is uninstalled.  Re-factored
  parts of the code to make it reusable when implementing other kinds
  of storage. The local, file based, implementation now throws
  BackingStoreException when a file write operation fails.


  Log 2.0.2

  Improved error handling when receiving broken configurations.


=== Misc (KF specific, start scripts, build system etc ===


  Desktop Bundle 2.3.1

  The preferences tab now offers the sync and flush operations when
  right clicking on a node in the preferences tree.


  Bundlerepository 2.0.3

  Blacklisted repository at update.cainenable.org


  Build System

  The ant include file "bundlebuild_include.xml" that all KF-ant build
  files imported using an external entity is now replaced with a
  proper include filen named "bundlebuild.xml" that can be included
  using the ant 1.6+ command <import file="bundlebuild.xml">
  Upgrade instructions for users of the old
  "bundlebuild_include.xml"-file are available in that file. I.e., in
  "ant/bundlebuild_incldue.xml".

  The ant task bundle_locator now accepts a comma separated list of
  bundle names to locate. Also improved the logging and error handling.

  The ant taks bundle-info can now add "uses" directives to packages
  in the Export-Packages manifest header. This is turned on by default
  in bundlebuild.xml (to disable it set the ant property
  "bundleinfo.uses" to false before importing bundlebuild.xml).

  When bundle-info detects a missing import it will now trigger a
  build exception (may be disabled by setting the ant property
  "bundleinfo.failOnImports" to false before importing
  bundlebuild.xml).

  When bundle-info detects an export of package that is not provided
  by the bundle it will now trigger a build exception (may be disabled
  by setting the ant property "bundleinfo.failOnExports" to false
  before importing bundlebuild.xml).

Release Notes Knopflerfish 2.2.0 (OSGi R4.0.1)
----------------------------------------------

  Maintenance release of Knopflerfish available from
  http://www.knopflerfish.org/releases/2.2.0

  Here follows a breakdown of the most important changes since the
  last release.


=== Framework (Core) ===

  Framework 4.0.12

  The native code OS-name alias handling was wrong for "Mac OS X".
  Added missing OS-name aliases for "Windows 2003", "symbianos", "hp-ux".
  Added missing processor aliases for "em64t" and "x86_64".
  Reported in
  https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&aid=1615910&group_id=82798&atid=567241
  https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&aid=1620734&group_id=82798&atid=567241

  Fix an issue with paths in the BundleClassPath manifest attirbute
  that starts with a '/' when using memory storage. Reported in
  https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=567241&aid=2198098&group_id=82798

  Fixed a problem with fragment handling when uninstalling a bundle
  with attached fragments. Using package admin refresh on a fragment
  host bundle after update or uninstall of one of its attached
  fragments now results in a re-resolve operation of the host bundle.

  Rearranged synchronized code to avoid dead lock between registerService and
  refreshPackages.


=== Services (Compendium) ===

  Http Service 2.1.1

  Allow configurations with port.http=0 / port.https=0, ensure that
  the service properties port.http / port.https for the HttpService
  instance shows the actual port obtained from the OS and not 0.


  Event Admin 2.0.3

  Add the missing mapping of Framework event of type INFO to events on
  the topic "org/osgi/framework/FrameworkEvent/INFO".



=== Misc (KF specific, start scripts, build system etc ===


  Desktop Bundle 2.3.0

  The desktop bundle is now packaged as a self-contained bundle
  containing all necessary packages (as log/cm/event/prefs apis,
  kf util etc).

  A new graph view showing bundle relationships has been added.
  Select "Graph" from the view drop-down menu.

  Missing imports are now displayed in the package view (and
  in the graph view)

  Major performance enhancements in package dependency
  calculations.

  Detail views are now updated on bundle events.

  Installing new bundles using the desktop UI now displays
  the newly added bundles automatically.

  Corrected a NPE in the event view during start up; a listener was
  registered before one of the objects used in its call-back was
  created.

  The packages view now presents the relation between host bundles and
  attached fragments.



  Framwork commands 2.0.5

  The command "bundles -l" now presents the relation between host
  bundles and attached fragments.

  The command "call" no longer requires the implementation class of
  a service to be public.

  Added filter option to the command "services" (aka "lss").

  Added filter option to the command "call".



  Event-Admin 2.0.2

  Waits for the asynchronous event dispatcher to terminate when
  stopping the bundle.



  Telnet-Console 2.0.2

  Improved error messages in the log when receiving a broken configuration.



  comm-win32 2.0.1

  Added Windows Vista as supported osname.



========================================================================


Release Notes Knopflerfish 2.1.1 (OSGi R4.0.1)
----------------------------------------------

  Maintenance release of Knopflerfish available from
  http://www.knopflerfish.org/releases/2.1.1/

  Here follows a breakdown of the most important changes since the
  last release.


=== General (non-optional bundles) ===

  Direct usage of System.getProperty() have been replaced with calls
  to BundleContext.getProperty() to allow for making the framework
  configuration local.
  See the documentation of the framework property named
  "org.knopflerfish.framework.xargs.writesysprops"


=== Framework (Core) ===

  Fix an issue with normalization of relative bundle URLs reported in
  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2000856&group_id=82798&atid=567241

  Fix file separator issue for unpacked bundle-jar files. Reported in
  https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2071337&forum_id=328005

  Fixed an issue with system property initialization causing extension
  bundles to be marked as unsupported, reported in
  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2042769&group_id=82798&atid=567241

  Added the R4.1 method Bundle.getBundleContext() + support for
  creating matching AdminPermission.

  The state of the system bundle is now moved from STARTING to ACTIVE
  right before sending out the framework event STARTED. I.e., after
  that the target run-level have been reached.

  Fixed a problem with fragment handling when updating a bundle with
  attached fragments. Also fixed a problem where require bundle could
  lead to a loop in the bundle class loader.


=== Misc (KF specific, start scripts, build system etc ===


  Desktop Bundle 2.2.1

  Installing new bundles using the desktop UI now displays
  the newly added bundles automatically.

  A view for events handled by the OSGi event service have been added
  to the desktop. The presentation part of the view can filtered
  events both on topic and event details. It is also possible to
  create and post new events or re-send old ones with or without
  modification. When re-sending an old event a time stamp (with key
  "timestamp.generated") is added to the event dictionary to make the
  event unique.

  Also, a view for OSGi and java.util preferences has been added. This
  view can be used to edit both JVM preferences and bundle preferences.

  Bundles opened via the desktop's "Open" menu is no longer auto started.

  Bundles having using Declarative Services are now displayed using
  a special icon.

  Menu shortcuts now uses the system menu shortcut (looks better on
  OS X).

  Bundle Repository Bundle

  The Desktop plug in provided by this bundle now presents the version
  of all bundles in the tree on the left hand side. URLs for the
  default repositories as well as the Knopflerfish repositories are
  now included by default.



  X10 Bundle

  Updated to use tjx10 v1.3, the closing serial ports when stopping.

  Console Bundle 2.0.1

  Removed the built in alias "cd" (Oscar compatibility) since it hides
  "cd" commands in other command groups causing huge confusion.


  Build System

  The task that generates the OSCAR Bundle Repository description now
  supports references to external repositories. No import is
  generated for packages with optional resolution.

  To reduces the burden of updating all build files when bumping the
  version of a bundle the build system have been extended with
  expansion of bundle versions for items on the "bundle.path". E.g.,
  if a non-existing path elements with location like
  "log_api-N.N.N.jar" are present in the the "bundle.path" then it
  will be replace by the bundle with matching name and highest version
  amongst the bundles available in the directories ${topdir}/jars and
  ${osgi.dir}/jars. The build will fail if no match was found.  All
  build-files have been updated to take advantage of this feature.
  All xargs-files are now generated from templates with bundle names
  on the form @log_all-N.N.N.jar@ using a similar expansion method.

  It is now possible to use bundlebuild_include.xml to build fragment
  bundles. The recommended build file setting for fragment bundles is:

  <property name = "bundle.build.lib"   value = "false"/>
  <property name = "bundle.build.api"   value = "false"/>
  <property name = "bundle.build.impl"  value = "false"/>
  <property name = "bundle.build.all"   value = "true"/>

  I.e., build it as an "all"-bunlde.

  Bundle manifest files with an empty "Export-Package" or
  "Import-Package" attribute should no longer be generated.

  The requirement on having a both a "src" and a "resources" directory
  in each bundle directory (if they where missing they where created
  during the build) have been removed.

Release Notes Knopflerfish 2.1.0
--------------------------------

  Maintenance release of Knopflerfish with new graphical profile.

  Here follows a breakdown of the most important changes since the
  last release.

=== Framework (Core) ===


  Search for xargs files given with relative file names now first
  tries to find the file in parent directory of the current framework
  directory, then in the current working directory. Also ensured that
  File.exists() are only used for file-objects based on an absolute path.
  Reported in issue 1966119 (Support custom working directory
  (FWDIR_PROP is not enough))
  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1966119&group_id=82798&atid=567241

  Fixed a bug when updating a required bundle. The require relation
  was not refreshed when a package refresh was done after the update,
  i.e., the requiring bundle continued to use the old, removed
  packages.
  Reported in issue 1960999 (Update of required bundle broken)
  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1960999&group_id=82798&atid=567241


  Fixed a bug in the handling of the re-export directive in the
  Require-Bundle manifest-header.
  Reported in issues 1957937 (Require-Bundle: visibility:=reexport broken)
  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1957937&group_id=82798&atid=567241

  Bundle.getResource(), Bundle.getResources() and the corresponding
  methods in the bundle class loader now honors the OSGi specified
  system property named "org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation". Note that
  this change breaks the backwards compatibility with OSGi R3, since
  Bundle.getResource() and Bundle.getResources() now returns resources
  from the class space and not only the bundle-space as in R3.
  Reported in issues 1955529 (Bundle.getResource does not delegate)
  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1955529&group_id=82798&atid=567241

  Bundle.getEntry() now looks in the correct place independt of the
  specified bundle class path.
  Reported in issues 1829522 (Violation of Spec: Bundle.getEntry uses
  Bundle-Classpath)
  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1829522&group_id=82798&atid=567241

  Added a missing do privileged when opening an URL connection to a
  bundle resource. Problem originally found in Knopflerfish 1.3.5 and
  fixed on the kf_1_support branch.

  The URLConnection.getLastModified() for bundle URLs now returns the
  last modified of the bundle that the contents is fetched from.

  Added a new system property,
  org.knopflerfish.framework.xargs.writesysprops, that controls
  whether properties defined using -Dname=value in xargs files are to
  be exported as system properties or not. Such properties will
  always be available to bundles via BundleContext.getProperty(name).
  See osgi/framework/readme.txt for details.


=== Services (Compendium) ===

  Declarative Services [SCR]
  ComponentContext.locateServices(String) now returns the actual
  service object.
  Reported in issues 1699277 ([SCR] locateServices(String) returns
  ServiceReference[])
  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1699277&group_id=82798&atid=567241


=== Misc (KF specific, start scripts, build system etc ===


  Axis2-OSGi

  Now also works with security enabled.
  If using this bundle you must also install and start the Xerces and
  Xalan bundles mentioned below.


  Desktop

  The packages-tab now presents data about packages made available via
  Require-Bundle manifest header (was listed amongst the imported
  packages before). Packages pending removal are marked. All three
  lists of packages are sorted on package name and version.

  Manifest entries in the Manifest-tab are now sorted.

  The desktop bundle now checks for new Knopflerfish releases when
  started. If one is found a message dialog with the release note of
  the new release will be displayed (once for each new release).


  Xerces and Xalan

  New bundles wrapping Apache Xerces-J 2.91 and Xalan-J 2.7.1
  providing XML functionality required by the Axis2-OSGi bundle.
  The old low memory foot-print Crimson-bundle is not needed when
  Xerces is present, but they can both be installed and started
  without causing any conflicts.


  Build System

  The derivation of imported packages done by the bundle-info-task now
  detects packages that are only referenced from invoke instructions in
  the byte code. E.g., the package of a parameter in an invocation of a
  super-class method.

  Fixed issues 1949895 (missing template.xargs, won't build)
  and 1953611 ("ant all" fails):

========================================================================


Release Notes Knopflerfish 2.0.5
--------------------------------

  Maintenance release of Knopflerfish

  Here follows a breakdown of the most important changes since the
  last release.

=== Framework (Core) ===

  The default value of the system property named
    org.knopflerfish.servicereference.valid.during.unregistering
  is changed from false to true. See osgi/framework/readme.txt for details.
  This change is done in accordance to a clarification done by CPEG
  February 2008.

  ASM 3.1 is now used for byte code patching.

  New system property named
    org.knopflerfish.framework.debug.print_with_do_privileged
  If set to false debug printouts are not wrapped in doPrivileged().
  See osgi/framework/readme.txt for details.

=== Services (Compendium) ===

  Http Server / JSDK

  The JSDK bundle exports Servlet API version 2.5 (was 2.2).
  Note: the JSDK-bundles have been redesigned from being a LIB-bundle
  to an API-bundle. I.e., it does not wrap a servlet.jar-file any
  more, all classes are directly available inside the API-jar. This
  increases performance and simplifies for other bundles that needs
  access to the classes during their build phase.

  The http-server is updated to work with the version 2.5 of the Servlet API.

  Build files for servlet aware bundles updated to build using classes
  from jsdk_api-2.5.jar.


  Component Service

  Fixed a class-cast bug when loading array valued (non-String)
  properties from the XML document. See forum thread
  https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1937504&forum_id=328005
  for details.

  Fix issue [1895316]. Service References published by Component Service
  on behalf of some component where missing the component.id property.


=== Misc (KF specific, start scripts, build system etc ===

  Desktop

  The initial directory for the add bundle dialog in the Desktop is
  now based on the system property "org.knopflerfish.gosg.jars" if
  set to a file URL, otherwise the current working directory is used.


  Axis-OSGi

  Bean-mappings for all classes used in exported, non-array valued
  parameters (and the return value) are now added to the WSDD
  generated by ObjectSOAPService for objects to export as
  WebServices. This will allow use of non-standard types when
  exporting a service as an Axis WebService.


  Axis2-OSGi

  A new bundle that exports Web Services using Axis2.
  This bundle is much like the axis-osgi bundle but uses Axis2
  for the actual implementation.

  Note: The version of the axis2-osgi bundle in this release can not
        be used with security enabled since it does no start then.


  Build System

  More adjustments to the build system to improve nightly- and
  release- builds.


  Documentation

  We have started to collect / add bundle documentation on a separate
  page that will be part of the release. For snapshot-builds you can
  find the documentation via the link
  http://www.knopflerfish.org/snapshots/current_trunk/bundledoc/



========================================================================


Release Notes Knopflerfish 2.0.4
--------------------------------

  Maintenance release of Knopflerfish

  Here follows a breakdown of the most important changes.

=== Framework (Core) ===

  Added system property
    org.knopflerfish.framework.system.export.all
  If set to true the system bundle will export all standard packages
  provided by the JRE. The files packages<M><N>.txt specifying the set
  of packages to export for JRE <M>.<N> have been moved inside
  framework.jar to simplify embedding. A file named packages<M><N>.txt
  in the current working directory will override the embedded file
  with the same name.

  Added system property
   org.knopflerfish.framework.system.export.all_16
  and a packages1.6.txt file. If this property is set to true the
  system bundle will export all standard packages provided by a
  Java SE 6 JRE.


  Added system property
    org.knopflerfish.framework.debug.service_reference
  If set when security is enabled, print information about service
  reference lookups that are rejected due to missing permissions for
  calling bundle.

  Added system property
    org.knopflerfish.framework.debug.bundle_resource
  If set when security is enabled, the framework will print
  information about resource lookups that are rejected due to missing
  permissions for the calling bundle.

  Fixed a bug related to bundle class paths pointing to a directory
  inside the bundle jar file.

  The manifest of the system bundle now contains the
  Bundle-SymbolicName header. SourceForge issue tracker id [1866116].

  Fix of issue [1516267] in SourceForge issue tracker.

  Bundle URLConnection.getPermission() now returns AdminPermission.

  Added system property for debugging
    org.knopflerfish.framework.debug.bundle_resource
  if set to true all resource loading operations that fails due to
  missing permissions will be logged to System.out.

  The security policy used by the framework now delegates to the
  default policy for non-bundle security domains. I.e., permissions
  for non-bundle domains may be defined using a policy file.


=== Services (Compendium) ===



=== Misc (KF specific, start scripts, build system etc ===

  Start of the Framework

  The command line option "--xargs <FILE>" was added. Loads the
  named file like "-xargs <FILE>" if the file can be found, but does
  not abort startup of the framework if the file cannot be read.


  Consoletelnet

  The telnet console implementation now handles a missing console
  service by returning a message to the client saying that there is no
  console service available. If the console service is stopped while
  a telnet console session is active that session will be terminated
  with a message saying that the console service have been terminated.


  Build System

  Building a distribution from the top level directory places all
  output in the directory htdocs/releases/<VERSION>.
  New items that that are placed here:

   index.html file with links to all products, release note, test
   results, etc.

   Subdirectory with javadoc.

   Test results form the KF internal test suite.

   ChangeLog generated from subversion commits.

  Nightly builds now uses a version number that complies to the OSGi
  spec. Issue [1885598].



========================================================================


Release Notes Knopflerfish 2.0.3
--------------------------------

  Maintenance release of Knopflerfish

  Here follows a breakdown of the most important changes.

=== Framework (Core) ===

  * Bug fix, Registered services are removed from the registry
    directly when SeriveRegistration.unregister() is called.

    Bundles with access to the ServiceReference for a service may get
    the service during the unregistering phase if the system property
    org.knopflerfish.servicereference.valid.during.unregistering
    have been set to "true" otherwise null will be returned.

  * Bug fix, Calling bundle.getResources(String) on the bundle object
    for the System bundle throws a ClassCastExcpetion.

  * Bundle.getResource("/") now returns a valid URL to the root of the
    bundle's classpath. Bundle.getResources("/") now returns an
    enumeration of root URLs for the bundles class path. Both these
    methods previously returned null when called with the argument "/".

  * Bug fix, Bundle.getResources(name) did not include resources from
    attached fragments if one or more matches was found in the bundle
    itself.


=== Services (Compendium) ===

  * EventAdmin
    Updates Event class to allow for alphanumeric event topics

  * URLConnection
    Added getContentType and getContentLength

  * Component (Declarative Services)
    Corrected bugs concerning finding activate, deactivate methods
    defined in superclasses for Component.
    #1834414,

=== Misc (KF specific, start scritps, build system etc ===

  * TrayIcon - WindowsVista recognized as platform alias

  * Junit fix (#1816102)



========================================================================


Release Notes Knopflerfish 2.0.2
--------------------------------

  Maintenance release of Knopflerfish

  Here follows a breakdown of the most important changes.

=== Framework (Core) ===

  * Bundle Class Patching
    New feature in KF. Bundles that contain legacy code may be
    cumbersome to run due to class loading problems in an OSGi
    environment. This new feature is based on bundle class patching
    using byte-code manipulation. This can solve many problems related
    to third-party libraries using non-OSGi compatible method calls.

  * Automatic Manifest Generation
    New feature in KF. Automatic bundle manifest generation, which can
    add or modify manifests to any jar file, even non-OSGi-bundle jar
    files.

  * Custom Implementation of SecurityManager no longer bypassed
    Changed so that a custom implementation of the SecurityManager no
    longer is bypassed if it is present.

  * Corrected bugs concerning finding resources in bundles
    #1741368,

  * Bug fix, STOPPING event is sent when stop() is called.

  * Corrected incorrect return value from BundleContext.ungetService(Object).
    See bug #1780141.

=== Services (Compendium) ===

  * EventAdmin
    Updates Event class to allow for alphanumeric event topics

  * URLConnection
    Added getContentType and getContentLength

  * Component (Declarative Services)
    Corrected bugs concerning finding activate, deactivate methods
    defined in superclasses for Component.
    #1834414,

=== Misc (KF specific, start scripts, build system etc ===

  * TrayIcon - WindowsVista recognized as platform alias

  * Junit fix (#1816102)



========================================================================


Release Notes Knopflerfish 2.0.1
--------------------------------

  This is the first bug fix release after Knopflerfish 2.0.

  Here follows a breakdown of the most important changes.


=== Framework (R4.core) ===

  * Boot Delegation
             This release includes support for the property
               org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation
             By setting this property you control what class should be loaded
             from the system class loader. Setting
             org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation to say "org.knopflerfish.*" will
             cause the framework to try to load all class names matching that
             pattern using the system class loader. If this fails the framework
             will try to load the class as any other class.

             In earlier versions the system behaved as if this property was set
             to "*", that is the framework all ways checked if the system class
             loader could load a given class. This property is set to * by
             default to be backward compliant.

             More information on this can be found in the R4 core specs section
             3.8.3.

  * Import Resolution Optional
             An issue with imported packages marked as optional has been fixed.

  * Limitations
             As was the case in 2.0, all OSGi R4 features except those listed
             below are implemented:

             * Signed bundles are not supported yet.
             * Conditional Permission Admin is not included.

             To use the extension bundle support you need to use a wrapper
             script that will restart framework when needed. An example
             shell-script is included (osgi/kf2).


=== Services (R4.cmpn) ===

  * User Admin service
             Added persistence. The path to the file where user admin data is
             stored can be set with the system property
               org.knopflerfish.useradmin.store
             If this is not set, the bundle's data storage area is used,
             meaning that starting the platform with -init purges the data.
             One can also use the system property
               org.knopflerfish.useradmin.oldstore
             to define a path that is used to read the data if the
             org.knopflerfish.useradmin.store property is set to a path that
             does not exist yet. This can be used to move the store to a new
             location. The persistence can be turned off by setting the
             system property
               org.knopflerfish.useradmin.dontsave
             to true.

  * Declarative services
             Fixed a bug where, under certain circumstances, null was passed
             to bind/unbind methods.
