Release Notes Knopflerfish 5.1.0 (OSGi R5)
Maintenance release of Knopflerfish 5 available from http://www.knopflerfish.org/releases/5.1.0. Released 2014-06-13.
Knopflerfish 5 is an implementation of the "OSGi Service Platform Release 5". It contains all services specified in the "Core Specification" and most of the non Enterprise Edition related services specified in the "Compendium Specification".
The Release Notes include all new features & changes for Knopflerfish 5.1.0 compared to the release of Knopflerfish 5.0.0.
Knopflerfish Framework - OSGi Core Specification
Framework 7.1.2
Fixed framework restart problem introduced in 7.1.0.
Relaxed "org.knopflerfish.framework.validator.date" parsing, so that
it tries short US locale pattern if default locale parsing fails.
Framework 7.1.1
Fixed exception when doing BundleWiring.listResources on root directory.
Framework 7.1.0
Added new URL protocol "fwresource" to access resources from the framework
classloader.
The start class org.knopflerfish.framework.Main now tries to load xargs as a
framework resource if the file is not found. This means that we together
with the new fwresource protocol can create a single jar that contains the
framework, all jars and xargs files that needs to start a complete application.
Added property "org.knopflerfish.framework.readonly", that puts framework
in a read only mode. This means that framework will not write any files
in "fwdir". This means that if we are running with the default "file"
bundle storage then new bundles must be installed as a referenced file URL.
This also implies that no data storage will be available to bundles.
Framework 7.0.2
Fixed bug that caused IndexOutOfBoundsException when updating large
collections of ConditionalPermissionInfos using ConditionalPermissionUpdate.
Added property "org.knopflerfish.framework.validator.date" to framework
for testing certification validation with different dates.
OSGi Compendium Specification
UserAdmin 4.1.1
Now contains and imports/exports org.knopflerfish.service.log
in order to be self-contained.
Changed to use the OSGi defined Bundle-Icon instead of
Application-Icon.
KF-XML-Metatype 5.0.1
Fixed bug in handling of designate-element that could cause
configurations to be created, deleted or overwritten
unintentionally.
Refactored handling of standardized OSGi metatype xml and
legacy proprietary meta type xml into separate classes.
CM 5.0.1
Improved the persistent storage of CM data,
made it more robust and fault resilient.
HTTP-Server 4.0.5
Fixed another bug in the handling of chunked transfer encoding in the
Request implementation. The last chunk (with size 0) is not followed
by any chunk-data and thus there is no CRLF to consume.
HTTP-Server 4.0.4
Fixed another bug in the handling of chunked transfer encoding in the
Request implementation. A chunk contianing a charter followed by a
new line char was not correctly un-chunked.
HTTP-Server 4.0.3
Fixed a bug in the handling of chunked transfer encoding in the
Request implementation. An extra CR-LF was incorrectly added to
the end of the decoded data, causing problems when transfering
binary data like a zip-file.
Prefs 4.0.2
Added bundle icon.
Repository XML 1.0.2
Fixed a bug in RequirementImpl and did some clean up.
Repository XML 1.0.1
Fixed a bug in CapabilityImpl.
SCR(component) 5.0.3
Fixed missed factory component check in previous version. This miss caused
following error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Internal error! Factory component only created with newInstance
SCR(component) 5.0.2
Fixed a bug that caused factory components to be falsely created or
missed being created when we use target filters.
SCR(component) 5.0.1
Fixed a bug that caused problems when adding a CM configuration with
a target filter to an unsatisfied component.

Resolver should be used.
Repository Desktop 1.1.0
