This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

pnoltes pushed a change to branch feature/async_svc_registration
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/celix.git.


      at d0be8b8  Heavily updates the threading handling for service registrations.

This branch includes the following new commits:

     new e06817e  Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/origin/master' into feature/register_with_reserved_id
     new d0be8b8  Heavily updates the threading handling for service registrations.

The 2 revisions listed above as "new" are entirely new to this
repository and will be described in separate emails.  The revisions

Posted by pn...@apache.org.
This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

commit d0be8b85012f2002697dbbb9b64f730912e05dd9
Author: Pepijn Noltes <pe...@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Mon Jul 13 22:44:54 2020 +0200

    Heavily updates the threading handling for service registrations.
    
    Now all service registrations/unregistrations are done on the framework event loop thread. Also support for async service registration/unregistration call are added.
