                    Apache ServiceMix Kernel 1.0.0
                    ==============================

  Overview
  --------

 This release is the first GA release of ServiceMix Kernel.  A few bugs and enhancements have been done 
 to the Kernel since the second release candidate. The most two important fixes from a user point of view
 are SMX4KNL-70 which makes sure the bundles provided in the distribution are used first instead of the ones
 from the user's local maven repository and SMx4KNL-77 which allows artifacts in the /deploy folder to be 
 started when the needed dependencies have been installed successfully (the previous behavior was to fail
 if there were missing bundles when the artifact is processed).
 See the change log below for more informations.

  Changelog
  ---------

  The following list shows the bug fixes and enhancements included in this release:

 ** Bug
     * [SMX4KNL-70] - Bundles in /system folder should take precedence over local Maven repository
     * [SMX4KNL-79] - When starting the kernel, a log entry states "Can not install feature ''"
     * [SMX4KNL-80] - "features list" output has a "version" column but no infos
     * [SMX4KNL-81] - The wrapper feature can not be installed out of the box
     * [SMX4KNL-82] - The installation state of a feature is not displayed correctly after a restart when using the "features list" command
     * [SMX4KNL-83] - When using the wrapper command, ServiceMix Kernel does not start correctly

 ** Improvement
     * [SMX4KNL-69] - Add installation status for the 'features list' result.
     * [SMX4KNL-71] - Export the gshell CommandExecutor in the OSGi registry
     * [SMX4KNL-73] - Require work around for blocking in.read() call in ProxyIO for automated testing.
     * [SMX4KNL-75] - Modify Shell argument processing to execute multiple commands.
     * [SMX4KNL-77] - The deployer should keep a list of installed bundles that failed to start and retry those when new bundles have been resolved
     * [SMX4KNL-78] - Small refactoring of the Feature interface



                  Apache ServiceMix Kernel 1.0.0-rc2
                  ==================================

Overview
--------

This second Release Candidate of Apache ServiceMix Kernel includes a few bug fixes and a few new features.
The main change is that the system folder that contains the OSGi bundles to install in the runtime is now
organized as a maven 2 repository, though it should not directly affect users.  A more detailed changelog
is following. 
    
Changelog

    * [SMX4KNL-65] - After copying or moving the kernel, it does not start in a very clean way anymore
    * [SMX4KNL-68] - failed to start smx4

                  Apache ServiceMix Kernel 1.0-rc1
                  ================================

This first Release Candidate of Apache ServiceMix Kernel includes a security framework based on
JAAS allowing authentication using JAAS realms deployed at runtime and also allow keystores and
trustores to be deployed and accessed through OSGi.  This allow the remote console to be secured
correctly (if the console is activated in a production environment, we strongly recommand to 
deploy a custom JAAS realm and new keystores when using the SSL connection).  A few bugs have been
fixed too.

A release candidate (RC) is a distribution that has not been proven completely stable, but the 
feature set is the one that will be available in the final release.   The number of RCs has not 
been fixed and it will depend on the feedback we obtain from this release, so please give it a try
and report any problems you can find.

** Bug
    * [SMX4KNL-38] - Fix NullPointerException instead of Command not found in the console
    * [SMX4KNL-40] - Remote console does not display output
    * [SMX4KNL-41] - When using the remote command on the client from the command line, the process does not exit correctly
    * [SMX4KNL-44] - Changed bundles restarted twice
    * [SMX4KNL-45] - The "log display" command does not display anything when running from an instance that has been created using the "admin create" command
    * [SMX4KNL-46] - After using the 'admin create' command, cpu goes to 100% until another command is entered
    * [SMX4KNL-48] - ulimit error on MacOS X Leopard 10.5
    * [SMX4KNL-50] - Kernel does not start on Windows

** Improvement
    * [SMX4KNL-39] - Make bundle locations for SMX configurable
    * [SMX4KNL-49] - Upgrade to Spring 2.5.4, Spring-DM 1.1.0-m2, PaxLogging 1.1.1

** New Feature
    * [SMX4KNL-35] - Secure the connection between the client and the kernel in some way
    * [SMX4KNL-37] - JAAS support
