[ANNOUNCE] Apache Felix FileInstall 2.0.0

[Guillaume Nodet <gn...@apache.org>]

The Felix team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Felix
FileInstall version 2.0.0

File Install is a directory based OSGi management agent. It uses a
directory in the file system to install and start a bundle when it is
first placed there. It updates the bundle when you update the bundle
file in the directory and, when the file is deleted, it will stop and
uninstall the bundle.
