356* [2008-10-31] Fix some visibility issues in the LDAP operators which could
357 result in incorrect toString values. (FELIX-765)
358* [2008-10-31] Fixed spec compliance issues around getting a service reference
359 from an invalid registration and throwing an exception when there are
360 duplicate property keys. (FELIX-798)
361* [2008-10-21] Fixed an issue with extension bundles which would be installed
362 as fragments and fail to install extension bundles if they have incomplete
363 metadata. (FELIX-770)
364* [2008-10-21] Fix a possible deadlock in URLHandlers. (FELIX-748)
365* [2008-10-16] Modified framework to have default values for the system
366 packages property, which also required modifying main to no longer expect to
367 set it. Now it is possible to start Felix with no configuration properties.
368 (FELIX-753)
369* [2008-10-16] Update felix to work with the 1.0.0-rc1 version of the android
370 sdk.
371* [2008-10-15] Implemented remaining PackageAdmin methods from R4. (FELIX-35)
372* [2008-10-15] Modified resolver to correctly mark fragment modules as resolved.
373 (FELIX-777)
374* [2008-10-15] Modified the resolver to longer consider uninstalled fragments
375 and hosts when resolving dependencies; this required a new "stale" flag on
376 modules that gets set when their associated bundle is uninstalled. (FELIX-776)
377* [2008-10-15] Modified the resolver to sort candidates when resolving
378 Require-Bundle dependencies. (FELIX-775)
379* [2008-10-14] Modified ExportedPackage.getImportingBundles() to include
380 bundles requiring the exporting bundle, in addition to those bundles
381 importing the package. Also tried to simplify dependency management code
382 by separating it out. (FELIX-764)
383* [2008-10-14] Fix a NullPointerException in SecureAction when a
384 SecurityManager is used by keeping pointers on the local stack. (FELIX-766)
385* [2008-10-13] Use System.gc to allow to update and uninstall bundles with
386 native libs on Windows. (FELIX-733)
387* [2008-10-10] Set the activator to null on Bundle.stop() to allow for earlier
388 garbage collection. (FELIX-762)
389* [2008-10-10] Implements support for flushing the cache on framework
390 initialization. (FELIX-755)
391* [2008-10-10] Improve exception messages. (FELIX-750)
392* [2008-10-09] Modified the bundle cache to no longer have profiles. (FELIX-754)
393* [2008-10-08] Modified the Felix API to aligned with the proposed standard
394 OSGi framework API. The framework instance can now be stopped and restarted.
395 (FELIX-753)
396* [2008-09-29] Support transiently starting/stopping bundles. (FELIX-713)
397* [2008-09-25] Correctly discard exported packages when a bundle is chosen to
398 import a package it exports. (FELIX-736)
399* [2008-09-24] Clearly distinguish between "resolved" and "unresolved"
400 capabilities, which is necessary since "resolved" capabilities have higher
401 priority than "unresolved" ones. (FELIX-730)
402* [2008-09-24] Do not bootdelegate in the case where Bundle.loadClass() has
403 been used. (FELIX-712)
404* [2008-09-23] Improve decoding of reference URLs. (FELIX-731)
405* [2008-09-23] For completeness, added symbolic names to framework and main.
406* [2008-09-17] Improve gc by fixing an issue with StartLevel and PackageAdmin.
407 (FELIX-728)
408* [2008-09-15] Fix an issue with Require-Bundle not aggregating packages
409 correctly. (FELIX-722)
410* [2008-09-15] Fixed a bug where class loader delegation for dynamic imports
411 was happening when it shouldn't. (FELIX-724)
412* [2008-09-12] Added a configuration property to determine whether installing a
413 fragment that uses unimplemented features throws an exception or logs a
414 warning. (FELIX-725)
415* [2008-09-12] Removed some experimental code for "implicit requirements",
416 since it was no longer needed.
417* [2008-09-12] Fix some visibility issues within the LDAP filter. (FELIX-721)

Karl Paulsc4c541d2008-11-06 16:17:00 +0000422* [2008-10-14] Fixed a NullPointer exception that could happen when
423 running with a SecurityManager as a backport of FELIX-766.
424
Karl Paulse212d9b2008-09-07 19:54:09 +0000425Changes from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1
426---------------------------
427
428* [2008-09-05] Fixed a performance regression that was caused by uncached
429 access to the bundle manifest headers. (FELIX-711)
430* [2008-09-03] Fixed a bug in calculating the system bundle's exported
431 packages which added a null export package.
432
Karl Pauls78ba3242008-08-31 22:15:39 +0000433Changes from 1.0.4 to 1.2.0
434---------------------------
435
436* [2008-08-29] Support JAR-wide manifest package metadata. (FELIX-682)
437* [2008-08-29] Throw an exception when installing a fragment that uses
438 features that we do not support.
439* [2008-08-20] Improve error reporting when loading bundle classes using
440 Bundle.loadClass.
441* [2008-08-16] Fix attribute checking when resolving dynamic imports.
442 (FELIX-676)
443* [2008-08-08] Implement singleton bundle support. (FELIX-102)
444* [2008-08-06] Default to current security policy if no security extension is
445 installed in order to make Subject.doAs work. (FELIX-654)
446* [2008-08-04] Return Bundle.getLastModified() for bundle URLs
447 lastModified(). (FELIX-582)
448* [2008-08-04] Improve handling of improper resource URLs. (FELIX-577)
449* [2008-08-01] Add necessary stub methods to implement new R4.1 methods.
450 (FELIX-595)
451* [2008-08-01] Applied patch to properly return symbolic name when it has
452 parameters. (FELIX-650)
453* [2008-07-25] Fix some rollback issues after a bundle update throws an
454 exception. (FELIX-647)
455* [2008-07-23] Modified manifest parser to be more lenient. (FELIX-641)
456* [2008-07-07] Add support for the standard symbolic name for the system
457 bundle. (FELIX-602)
458* [2008-06-01] Add initial fragment support for extending the host bundle
459 class path. (FELIX-29, FELIX-656)
460
Karl Pauls0eba9182008-04-21 23:32:57 +0000461Changes from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4
462___________________________
463
464* [2008-04-18] Check that the returned object from a service factory is an
465 instance of all classes named when the service was registered. (FELIX-540)
466* [2008-04-13] Fix an issue when logging messages while holding framework
467 internal locks that could lead to a deadlock. For now we just disable
468 logging to log services inside the framework. (FELIX-536)
469* [2008-04-13] Implemented various small performance improvments e.g.,
470 we now cache filters and create an index for objectclass to improve
471 service lookup performance and don't use the BundleInfo to get the
472 bundle id but the BundleImpl directly. Furthermore, we added an index to
473 get bundles by id.
474* [2008-04-04] Fix an NoClassDefFoundError when trying to query the
475 framework classloader for whether a class is available or not.
476* [2008-03-19] Don't try to resolve extension bundles and fix a
477 classcastexception that could happen if more then one framework is around
478 and both have extensions installed. Furthermore, make extension bundles
479 use the system bundle context.
480* [2008-03-07] Bundle.getResource does now check for AdminPermission.
481 (FELIX-150)
482* [2008-03-06] Make urlhandlers work when a handler factory is already set.
483 Furthermore, it is now possible to have more then one framework running
484 in more then one classloader. (FELIX-38).
485* [2008-03-05] Make LDAP filter reentrant.
486* [2008-02-29] Refactored the IContent abstraction from the module loader
487 layer to provide more generic access to the content of the module. This
488 makes it possible that a bundle's class path could span multiple module's,
489 which will be necessary for fragments. (FELIX-29)
490* [2008-02-27] Applied a patch to disable the class loading diagnostic message
491 when the logger is not at the DEBUG level. (FELIX-500)
492* [2008-02-15] Modified the service registry to use more fine-grained locking
493 to avoid callbacks to service factories while holding locks. (FELIX-489)
494
Karl Pauls7db0d882008-01-28 09:37:24 +0000495Changes from 1.0.1 to 1.0.3
Karl Paulsc0335862008-01-27 19:49:56 +0000496---------------------------
497
498* [2008-01-27] Moved framework docs to main, since the launcher examples now
499 depend on main for the auto-property handling.
500* [2008-01-25] Applied patches to improve how Felix finds resources when
501 getResources() is called. (FELIX-466, FELIX-467)
502* [2008-01-25] Make FilterImpl.toString() add escape characters where needed.
503 (FELIX-471)
504* [2008-01-16] Fix a NPE on framework restart when extension bundles are
505 installed.
506* [2008-01-15] Try to fix a potential visibility issue on loading a class
507 form a bundle where it seems to be possible that we create two classloaders
508 instead of one.
509* [2008-01-15] Modified boot delegation to not terminate when delegating to
510 parent class loader for non-java.* packages. (FELIX-463)
511* [2008-01-04] Fix some issues related to directories on the bundle class
512 path. Specifically, leading slashes created an issue and are now stripped
513 and entries were not being properly filtered when enumerating the contents
514 of a class path directory. (FELIX-426)
515* [2007-12-20] Modified logger to have all of its public methods be final to
516 avoid it from being extended in undesired ways via the constructor supplied
517 logger. (FELIX-428)
518* [2007-12-20] The TCK has changed to verify that bundles do not depend on
519 themselves, so we filter that case now.
520* [2007-12-20] Applied patch from Guillaume Nodet to properly fire a framework
521 error event only when a bundle cannot be resolved. (FELIX-441)
522* [2007-12-19] Modified framework to accept a Logger instance so that host
523 applications can do custom logging until the log service arrives. (FELIX-428)
524* [2007-12-19] Add support for loading bundles on Google Android (FELIX-440).
525* [2007-12-18] Improve native code loading - bundle installation will now
526 fail in case a native library is not in the jar and we only use the first
527 library of a given name. Furthermore, we now support .dylib extensions on
528 the mac as well as others; should make it possible to use .netmodules as
529 well. (FELIX-439)
530* [2007-12-17] Make the win32 alias match any version of windows for native
531 clauses. (FELIX-438)
532* [2007-12-14] Removed auto-property processing out of the framework and
533 into the default launcher, i.e, main. (FELIX-393)
534* [2007-12-13] Fix a StackOverflowError in URLHandlers.createStreamHandler()
535 when creating URL on jamvm and Mika. This patch resolves an unfortunate
536 interaction between our ExtensionManager and the URLHandlers by making the
537 URLHandlers aware of the extension protocol. Pretty much like we do already
538 for the bundle protocol. (FELIX-435)
539* [2007-11-26] Fix a small oversight in the extension manager that could lead
540 to a null pointer exception and save some memory by creating less objects.
541* [2007-11-26] Degrate to version 0.0.0 if we can not find the Felix.properties
542 for some reason and avoid a null pointer in this case.
543* [2007-11-08] Reorganized usage count methods to better handle null
544 reference checking in response to Karl Pauls seeing an NPE when trying to
545 get a service that was already unregistered while shutting down the
546 framework.
547* [2007-11-06] Added a simple check to detect and work around a bug in J9.
548 (FELIX-416)
549* [2007-10-30] Change how the extension manager url stream handler handles
550 request to the root path in order to make some tomcat issue go away.
551 (FELIX-414)
552* [2007-10-26] Added support for "/" bundle resources as requested. (FELIX-383)
553* [2007-10-24] Use system bundle when firing a framework error event when an
554 install error occurs.
555* [2007-10-22] Fix a NPE when getEntryPaths is called on the system bundle.
556 (FELIX-394)
557* [2007-10-16] Modifies bundle resource URL handling such that if a resource
558 URL points to a resource that does not exist, a bundle class path search
559 for the resource will be instigated and if any matching resource is found,
560 that one will be used instead. (FELIX-383)
561* [2007-10-10] Auto-property handling now installs bundles into the default
562 bundle start level if a start level is not specified. (FELIX-359)
563* [2007-10-08] Overwrite the URLStreamHandler.getHostAddress(URL) in the
564 ExtensionManager to immediately return null to prevent DNS lookup.
565 (FELIX-388)
566* [2007-09-30] Resolved a concurrency issue that could result in the same
567 bundle being resolved more than once; also tried to simplify locking in
568 the core search policy implementation. (FELIX-381)
569
Karl Pauls305c9642007-09-16 20:46:04 +0000570Changes from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1
571---------------------------
572
573* [2007-07-23] Fixed a bug in the framework shutdown process which was
574 causing threads calling Felix.stopAndWait() to not get notified that
575 the framework had shutdown. (FELIX-329)
576* [2007-08-15] Fixed a bug in the LDAP filter which was not thread safe
577 on execution. (FELIX-338)
578* [2007-08-17] Added support for persistent last used bundle ID to avoid
579 re-use of bundle identifiers. (FELIX-339)
580* [2007-08-23] Modified BundleImpl.getHeaders(Locale) to accept a null
581 locale. (FELIX-346)
582* [2007-09-11] Added support to handle external termination of Felix
583 which was not handled or detected and prevented a restart of future
584 Felix instances in the same VM. (FELIX-363)
585* [2007-09-12] Add support for Collection values in the LDAP filter to
586 match the 4.1 spec.
587* [2007-09-12] Fixed a bug in the LDAP filter where attributes where
588 limited to [a-zA-Z ] so didn't allow for e.g., numbers. (FELIX-361)
589* [2007-09-13] Enable support for exporting the same package more than
590 once (FELIX-101).
591* [2007-09-13] Returns the system bundle from a call to
592 PackageAdmin.getBundle(Class) in case the class comes from the
593 classloader (or one of its parents) that loaded Felix and the system
594 bundle exports the package.
595* [2007-09-16] Fixed a bug in class space filtering in the service registry
596 that could result in class cast exceptions for service clients.
597* [2007-09-16] Fixed a bug that prevented extension bundle exports to be
598 usable.
599
Richard S. Hall2cd5bed2007-07-16 20:32:41 +0000600Changes from 0.8.0-incubator to 1.0.0

605 capability/requirement model.
606* [2007-01-22] Reorganized and centralized manifest parsing code and added
607 support for resolver's generic capability/requirement model. (FELIX-98)
608* [2007-01-22] Improved native library naming normalization. (FELIX-26)
609* [2007-01-23] No longer eagerly resolving classes loaded from modules
610 since this was causing verification errors with IBM J9.
611* [2007-01-25] Added some support for execution environment checking.
612 (FELIX-23)
613* [2007-01-29] Added support for getAllServiceReferences(). (FELIX-32)
614* [2007-01-31] Added Require-Bundle support to resolve using the generic
615 capability/requirement model of the resolver. (FELIX-28)
616* [2007-02-05] Fixed a bug in processor type normalization for x86-64
617 processors.
618* [2007-02-09] The resolver previously ignored packages that were pending
619 removal when resolving new bundles, now it does not.
620* [2007-02-09] Bundles are automatically refreshed when updated/uninstalled
621 if none of their exported packages are in use.
622* [2007-02-13] Added support for extension bundles. (FELIX-30)
623* [2007-03-02] Added a Bundle.getBundleContext() method until actual
624 support for OSGi R4.1.
625* [2007-04-26] Modified Bundle.findEntries() to return URLs to directory
626 entries as well as file entries.

634 prepend information to the resource path.
635* [2007-06-13] Improved dynamic imports to cycle through all available
636 candidates when checking for class space consistency.
637* [2007-06-18] Improved service registry filtering based on class versions
638 to allow a bundle to register a service for a different version of class
639 that it can access.
640* [2007-06-21] Modified our "last ditch effort" to guess when to delegate
641 to the system bundle to make it a little more robust.
642* [2007-06-29] Fixed a bug in EventDispatcher that was causing asynchronous
643 events to not be fired after stopping the framework instance and creating
644 a new instance. (FELIX-314)

646 update a listener when it implemented multiple listener interfaces.
647* [2007-07-04] Modified Felix framework class to implement the Bundle
648 interface to improve the startup/shutdown sequence and to provide a
649 simplified API for creating framework instances.
650* [2007-07-11] Removed the PropertyResolver-related classes and now only
651 use Maps for configuration properties. (FELIX-324)
