All the other Compendium Specification Services
are up to date and pass the CT.
Event 3.0.0
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.
Http 2.1.5
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).
----------------------------------------------
Knopflerfish Specific
----------------------------------------------
Console
- Migration to new OSGi Standard (Done)
Desktop 3.0.10
- Added menu action for resolving all selected bundles.
- Added support for using options when starting and stopping bundles.
E.g., a bundle may now be transiently started or stopped.
- Menu and toolbar entries for starting, stopping, updating and
uninstalling bundles are now disabled when no bundle is selected.
- Changing start level for bundles now works when more than one
bundle is selected.
- Fixed a problem (dead-lock of the Event Dispatcher Thread) when
calling the bundle life-cycle operations on the desktop bundle
itself.
- Fixed a number of issues when using the desktop with a
RemoteFramework. E.g., the list of bundles shown was taken from
the own (client) framework when it should have come from the remote
(server) framework.
Framework Commands 3.0.2
- Added support for using options when starting and stopping bundles.
E.g., a bundle may now be transiently started or stopped.
- Added the -a (append) option to the cd-command.
- New command "properties" that may be used to list System and
Framework properties.
- New command "threads" that may be used to list threads started by
via the current framework.
Log 2.0.3
- New configuration property for setting the number of
log records to keep in memory.
kSOAP_RemoteFW 3.0.2
- Updated documentation and added xargs-file fragments that makes it
easier to start using this feature.
- All properties controlling this bundle can now be given as
framework properties.
- The RemoteFW implementation of BundleContext.getProperty() did not
handle unset properties correctly (it now returns null as
expected).
axis_osgi 0.1.0.2
- Do not use the bean-mapper for java.util.Date, java.util.Map and
java.util.Vector since axis provides special mappers for these
classes.
