+title: Going from ServiceMix 5.1 to 5.4
+--- pipeline:conf
+
+In the next few days, we'll be preparing for the release of Apache ServiceMix 5.4.0.
+This release will come with a new minor version of both Apache Karaf and Apache Camel.
+
+We'll be upgrading to Karaf 2.4, which comes with a lot of new features and great internal
+dependency upgrades of its own. Apache Camel 2.14 also comes with a wealth of new features,
+improvements and dependency changes.
+
+We definitely want people to start using the latest and greatest technology and encourage
+everyone to upgrade to the 5.4.0 as soon as it becomes available, but we also understand
+that in a project or a company, it's sometimes preferable to take things one step at the the time.
+
+That's why we added two more intermediate releases to our roadmap:
+- ServiceMix 5.2.0 comes with Camel 2.14, but uses Karaf 2.3.9
+- ServiceMix 5.3.0 is based on Karaf 2.4.0, but comes with Camel 2.14
+
+That way, you can choose your own upgrade path: upgrade Camel first using ServiceMix 5.2.0,
+upgrade Karaf first using ServiceMix 5.3.0 or go straight to the latest versions using ServiceMix 5.4.0.
+
+
+Happy ServiceMix'ing!
