[ANN] Karaf version 2.1.0 Released!
Hi,
The Karaf team is pleased to announce the release of Karaf version 2.1.0.
New to this release of Apache Karaf is a JAAS Database Login Module, a
way to store passwords in a secured way, a mechanism that allows a
karaf application to distinguish between UserPrincipal and
RolePrincipal without depending from the Karaf JAAS Module.
The shell console has been enhanced to be available in a plain
non-OSGi environment and smart tab completion has been improved, along
with various commands.
We have also resolved a number of outstanding issues, and improved
support on OS X and IBM Java based systems. For more information
please see our release notes.
This release is available from http://karaf.apache.org/download.html and Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.karaf</groupId>
<artifactId>apache-karaf</artifactId>
<version>2.1.0</version>

* [KARAF-125] - Webconsole can't concat strings?
* [KARAF-133] - NPE when installing a bundle with a MANIFEST.MF
not in the first entry of the zip
* [KARAF-134] - The sort command does not work when trying to sort
on the last field
* [KARAF-136] - should override equals method for FeaturesListener
to handle the proxy compared to wrapped object case
* [KARAF-137] - IOException on web demo when trying to connect through SSH
* [KARAF-138] - WarDeploymentListener: checks for manifest osgi
entries but fails if no manifest is found
* [KARAF-142] - NPE at
org.apache.felix.webconsole.internal.servlet.OsgiManager.service -
karaf started in server mode
* [KARAF-143] - Setting "karaf.instances" system property has no effect
* [KARAF-145] - Reading Properties like karaf.framework should be
trimmed before reusage
* [KARAF-150] - Config admin contains 2 configurations for SSH port in Karaf
* [KARAF-162] - need exactly specify the import jline package
version for webconsole.gogo
* [KARAF-167] - Creating a new config using the shell commands
lead to a FileNotFoundException instead of the file being created
* [KARAF-169] - Do not use the ClassPath manifest header for the
karaf client jar
* [KARAF-178] - When the karaf runtime is launched under JSW, the
bin/client script fails to connect
* [KARAF-189] - Java endorsed dirs on AIX (IBM JVM)
* [KARAF-190] - karaf-wrapper.conf is incorrect
* [KARAF-199] - WarDeploymentListener: doesn't handle the default
Webapp-Context correct on a Windows System
* [KARAF-204] - Ctrl+D needs to be followed by another character
to be recognized (at least when using the karaf client)
* [KARAF-206] - The converter used for converting commands
arguments and options can't convert objects to String
** Improvement
* [KARAF-106] - Provide a more minimal / static disitrbution of karaf
* [KARAF-130] - Allow a repository URL to be added to feature
repository URL list even though it is an invalid one
* [KARAF-135] - The package:export command should have more option
to control the output
* [KARAF-139] - Add a Shell Console branding demo
* [KARAF-140] - Modifying properties and saving them via the
Config Console removes comments in the original file
* [KARAF-141] - Tests should be able to be run without any
internet connections
* [KARAF-146] - osgi:list should only print out 'system' bundles
above a certain level, by default, this should be 50, but it should be
configurable
* [KARAF-148] - features:listUrl should print the repository names
as well as the Url.
* [KARAF-152] - when using the @Argument annotation, if there is
no name specified it would be nice to reuse the name of the field,
rather than use VAL
* [KARAF-155] - optional @Argument values (and I guess @Option
values) can have default values which could be displayed in the help
screen by reflecting into the value and finding non-zero/null values
* [KARAF-157] - [PATH] minor patch to make it easier to reuse the
Karaf command line console from outside Karaf specialising the user
and application
* [KARAF-158] - better display of errors when running a non-osgi
command line outside of the shell
* [KARAF-159] - when a bad command is typed (e.g. invalid command,
argument, option) we should use some kind of syntax highlighting for
the name of the command/argument/option in the error message
* [KARAF-161] - provide an easy implementation of "public static
void main(String[] args)" for a single command (i.e. for non-shells)
* [KARAF-163] - Generate Features XML should handle artifact types
* [KARAF-164] - Allow sub classes of Main to override the META-INF
path used to discover commands
* [KARAF-168] - Upgrade to latest Felix framework
* [KARAF-170] - Main --help should behave like Main someCommand
--help and list all the possible sub commands when outside of OSGi
* [KARAF-171] - provide a default "help" sub command in shells
used outside of OSGi
* [KARAF-173] - Make it easier to configure the Karaf Main shell
by subclassing.
* [KARAF-174] - tab completion of sub commands not working in the
non-osgi shell
* [KARAF-175] - Upgrade to Java Service Wrapper 3.2.3
* [KARAF-176] - Improve integration to provide a clean shutdown
when running as a service
* [KARAF-177] - Support 64 bits platforms for Java Service Wrapper on OS X
* [KARAF-181] - Allow the cmdhelp maven plugin to generate output
in confluence format
* [KARAF-182] - Upgrade to Aries 0.2-incubating
* [KARAF-184] - Enhance the dev:framework command to display or
set the OSGi framework name
* [KARAF-185] - Have a 'clean' parameter on the main shell script
to clean the working folder
* [KARAF-186] - Upgrade to pax-logging 1.5.3
* [KARAF-187] - The completers do not work when several commands
are on the same line separated by a column or pipe
* [KARAF-191] - Create a Karaf Util module gathering all util classes
* [KARAF-192] - Completion does not work on options, or even on
arguments if an option is specified
* [KARAF-193] - It should be possible to load a Command
description from a text file

* [KARAF-200] - Upgrade to latest pax-runner and pax-exam
* [KARAF-202] - Create la alias in shell.init.script
* [KARAF-207] - The webconsole feature should not depend on the
admin bundles
* [KARAF-208] - when reusing the karaf shell outside of OSGi where
there's only one shell scope, it would be nice to avoid prefixing the
command names with the scope or with "*:" which is confusing
* [KARAF-210] - Allow to specific context-path when installing a
war file using the war url handler
** New Feature
* [KARAF-26] - have restart clean command/API

* [KARAF-166] - Allow subclasses of
org.apache.karaf.shell.console.Main to be used as sub shells

which can be used on methods on an action to provide a list of
available values for an argument for tab completion

Re: [ANN] Karaf version 2.1.0 Released!
Posted by Ioannis Canellos <io...@gmail.com>.
Good Work!
I think that its a good idea to create an article on "The Server Side" about

Maybe Guillaume as Project Lead or Jamie as Release Manager are the most
appropriate, but I could also do it myself. What do you think?
