## Project Activity:
We released Apache Karaf 4.2.6 with several fixes. Master update started to
fully support OSGi R7 and other update. The kloud initiative keeps on
running
with new blog posts, and preparation on code base. The Karaf tooling (aka
Karaf Boot) is in our roadmap. The Karaf Vineyard donation should happen
soon
as now the code base is done. We are preparing new releases on our
subprojects, especially Decanter and Cave. We are very happy to have a full
