+                    ========================
+
+  Overview
+  --------
+
+ The Apache Felix Karaf 1.0.0 release is the first release since the move of ServiceMix Kernel to Apache Felix.
+ This release brings a lot of new features:
+  * Switch from Spring-DM to Blueprint for the default Dependency Injection container (Spring-DM is still
+       fully supported and easy to install through the features service)
+  * Switch from Geronimo GShell to Felix Gogo
+      This changes is a bit disruptive for the command line syntax, but offers much more features such
+      as closures
+  * Integration with the Felix Web Console (easily installed using the features service).
+  * Built-in support for Equinox
+  * Upgrade to OSGi 4.2 frameworks (both Felix and Equinox)
+ This release also contains a lot of small improvements and bug fixes.  The changelog below contains the whole
+ list of changes.
