What OSGi version does Felix 5.0.0 implement?
In the online documentation, the Felix Framework is listed as "An
implementation of the OSGi R5 core framework.", but in the manifest the
Bundle-Description says "OSGi R4 framework". Which one is correct?
On a more general note, I know that the OSGi interfaces are backwards
compatible, but is it best practice to use standard libraries matching the
core framework version (ie use cmpn R5 with osgi core R5) or just use the
latest standard libraries available?
Thanks,
Robert

Well - spotted :)
I have updated this in the framework [1] and also on the website where
I could find it. Let me know if there are any other places where this
is wrong.

If you want your bundle to be more flexible, you should use the minimum
version which is required when importing a package.
