Development
===========
The following new releases have been voted:
- Apache Karaf 2.3.6 (maintenance release) (August 1, 2014)
- Apache Karaf Cave 3.0.0 (major release) (July 4, 2014)
- Apache Karaf Cellar 3.0.0 (major release) (June 27, 2014)
We plan to release a Karaf 3.0.2 version (especially for Java8 support) 
and Karaf 2.4.0 version (for full support of Karaf 3.0.x branch) in the 
coming weeks. Due to a Windows platform issue, we plan to release Karaf 
2.3.7 soon as well.

Issues for board consideration
==============================
None so far.
