544---------------------------
545
546* [2008-12-19] Refactor the URLHandlers implementation to fix a possible
547 Linkage-Error when running embedded inside tomcat. Furthermore, make it possible
548 to dynamically set a SecurityManager, change the url we add to the framework
549 classloader to fix issues with rmi and make sure we restore the previous URLStreamHandlerFactory
550 after stopping. (FELIX-842, FELIX-837, FELIX-844, FELIX-827)
551* [2008-12-19] Add missing javax.security.cert in JRE 1.4 and 1.5. (FELIX-854)
552* [2008-12-19] Improve framework internal locking protocol.
553* [2008-12-18] Fixed an issue where bundles with a non-existing native library

558 properly closed. (FELIX-819)
559* [2008-11-14] Added partial support for new service registry hooks as proposed
560 for OSGi R4.2; currently, only listener hooks are supported. (FELIX-804)
561* [2008-11-08] Fixed Felix' delegation hack so that it correctly delegates to
562 the parent class loader for resources as appropriate; previously it was always
563 delegating for class loading, which was incorrect. (FELIX-808)
564
565Changes from 1.2.2 to 1.4.0
566---------------------------
567
568* [2008-11-05] URLStreamHandlerService and ContentHandlerService override

571* [2008-11-04] Implement ServiceReference.compareTo() method. (FELIX-799)
572* [2008-10-31] Fix some visibility issues in the LDAP operators which could
573 result in incorrect toString values. (FELIX-765)
574* [2008-10-31] Fixed spec compliance issues around getting a service reference
575 from an invalid registration and throwing an exception when there are
576 duplicate property keys. (FELIX-798)
577* [2008-10-21] Fixed an issue with extension bundles which would be installed
578 as fragments and fail to install extension bundles if they have incomplete
579 metadata. (FELIX-770)
580* [2008-10-21] Fix a possible deadlock in URLHandlers. (FELIX-748)
581* [2008-10-16] Modified framework to have default values for the system
582 packages property, which also required modifying main to no longer expect to
583 set it. Now it is possible to start Felix with no configuration properties.
584 (FELIX-753)
585* [2008-10-16] Update felix to work with the 1.0.0-rc1 version of the android
586 sdk.
587* [2008-10-15] Implemented remaining PackageAdmin methods from R4. (FELIX-35)
588* [2008-10-15] Modified resolver to correctly mark fragment modules as resolved.
589 (FELIX-777)
590* [2008-10-15] Modified the resolver to longer consider uninstalled fragments
591 and hosts when resolving dependencies; this required a new "stale" flag on
592 modules that gets set when their associated bundle is uninstalled. (FELIX-776)
593* [2008-10-15] Modified the resolver to sort candidates when resolving
594 Require-Bundle dependencies. (FELIX-775)
595* [2008-10-14] Modified ExportedPackage.getImportingBundles() to include
596 bundles requiring the exporting bundle, in addition to those bundles
597 importing the package. Also tried to simplify dependency management code
598 by separating it out. (FELIX-764)
599* [2008-10-14] Fix a NullPointerException in SecureAction when a
600 SecurityManager is used by keeping pointers on the local stack. (FELIX-766)
601* [2008-10-13] Use System.gc to allow to update and uninstall bundles with
602 native libs on Windows. (FELIX-733)
603* [2008-10-10] Set the activator to null on Bundle.stop() to allow for earlier
604 garbage collection. (FELIX-762)
605* [2008-10-10] Implements support for flushing the cache on framework
606 initialization. (FELIX-755)
607* [2008-10-10] Improve exception messages. (FELIX-750)
608* [2008-10-09] Modified the bundle cache to no longer have profiles. (FELIX-754)
609* [2008-10-08] Modified the Felix API to aligned with the proposed standard
610 OSGi framework API. The framework instance can now be stopped and restarted.
611 (FELIX-753)
612* [2008-09-29] Support transiently starting/stopping bundles. (FELIX-713)
613* [2008-09-25] Correctly discard exported packages when a bundle is chosen to
614 import a package it exports. (FELIX-736)
615* [2008-09-24] Clearly distinguish between "resolved" and "unresolved"
616 capabilities, which is necessary since "resolved" capabilities have higher
617 priority than "unresolved" ones. (FELIX-730)
618* [2008-09-24] Do not bootdelegate in the case where Bundle.loadClass() has
619 been used. (FELIX-712)
620* [2008-09-23] Improve decoding of reference URLs. (FELIX-731)
621* [2008-09-23] For completeness, added symbolic names to framework and main.

625 correctly. (FELIX-722)
626* [2008-09-15] Fixed a bug where class loader delegation for dynamic imports
627 was happening when it shouldn't. (FELIX-724)
628* [2008-09-12] Added a configuration property to determine whether installing a
629 fragment that uses unimplemented features throws an exception or logs a
630 warning. (FELIX-725)
631* [2008-09-12] Removed some experimental code for "implicit requirements",
632 since it was no longer needed.
633* [2008-09-12] Fix some visibility issues within the LDAP filter. (FELIX-721)

642---------------------------
643
644* [2008-09-05] Fixed a performance regression that was caused by uncached
645 access to the bundle manifest headers. (FELIX-711)
646* [2008-09-03] Fixed a bug in calculating the system bundle's exported
647 packages which added a null export package.

670 exception. (FELIX-647)
671* [2008-07-23] Modified manifest parser to be more lenient. (FELIX-641)
672* [2008-07-07] Add support for the standard symbolic name for the system
673 bundle. (FELIX-602)
674* [2008-06-01] Add initial fragment support for extending the host bundle

676
677Changes from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4
678___________________________
679
680* [2008-04-18] Check that the returned object from a service factory is an
681 instance of all classes named when the service was registered. (FELIX-540)
682* [2008-04-13] Fix an issue when logging messages while holding framework
683 internal locks that could lead to a deadlock. For now we just disable
684 logging to log services inside the framework. (FELIX-536)
685* [2008-04-13] Implemented various small performance improvments e.g.,
686 we now cache filters and create an index for objectclass to improve
687 service lookup performance and don't use the BundleInfo to get the
688 bundle id but the BundleImpl directly. Furthermore, we added an index to
689 get bundles by id.
690* [2008-04-04] Fix an NoClassDefFoundError when trying to query the
691 framework classloader for whether a class is available or not.
692* [2008-03-19] Don't try to resolve extension bundles and fix a
693 classcastexception that could happen if more then one framework is around
694 and both have extensions installed. Furthermore, make extension bundles
695 use the system bundle context.
696* [2008-03-07] Bundle.getResource does now check for AdminPermission.
697 (FELIX-150)
698* [2008-03-06] Make urlhandlers work when a handler factory is already set.
699 Furthermore, it is now possible to have more then one framework running
700 in more then one classloader. (FELIX-38).
701* [2008-03-05] Make LDAP filter reentrant.
702* [2008-02-29] Refactored the IContent abstraction from the module loader
703 layer to provide more generic access to the content of the module. This
704 makes it possible that a bundle's class path could span multiple module's,
705 which will be necessary for fragments. (FELIX-29)
706* [2008-02-27] Applied a patch to disable the class loading diagnostic message
707 when the logger is not at the DEBUG level. (FELIX-500)
708* [2008-02-15] Modified the service registry to use more fine-grained locking
709 to avoid callbacks to service factories while holding locks. (FELIX-489)
710
711Changes from 1.0.1 to 1.0.3
712---------------------------
713
714* [2008-01-27] Moved framework docs to main, since the launcher examples now
715 depend on main for the auto-property handling.
716* [2008-01-25] Applied patches to improve how Felix finds resources when
717 getResources() is called. (FELIX-466, FELIX-467)
718* [2008-01-25] Make FilterImpl.toString() add escape characters where needed.
719 (FELIX-471)
720* [2008-01-16] Fix a NPE on framework restart when extension bundles are
721 installed.
722* [2008-01-15] Try to fix a potential visibility issue on loading a class
723 form a bundle where it seems to be possible that we create two classloaders
724 instead of one.
725* [2008-01-15] Modified boot delegation to not terminate when delegating to
726 parent class loader for non-java.* packages. (FELIX-463)
727* [2008-01-04] Fix some issues related to directories on the bundle class
728 path. Specifically, leading slashes created an issue and are now stripped
729 and entries were not being properly filtered when enumerating the contents
730 of a class path directory. (FELIX-426)
731* [2007-12-20] Modified logger to have all of its public methods be final to
732 avoid it from being extended in undesired ways via the constructor supplied
733 logger. (FELIX-428)
734* [2007-12-20] The TCK has changed to verify that bundles do not depend on
735 themselves, so we filter that case now.
736* [2007-12-20] Applied patch from Guillaume Nodet to properly fire a framework
737 error event only when a bundle cannot be resolved. (FELIX-441)
738* [2007-12-19] Modified framework to accept a Logger instance so that host
739 applications can do custom logging until the log service arrives. (FELIX-428)
740* [2007-12-19] Add support for loading bundles on Google Android (FELIX-440).
741* [2007-12-18] Improve native code loading - bundle installation will now
742 fail in case a native library is not in the jar and we only use the first
743 library of a given name. Furthermore, we now support .dylib extensions on
744 the mac as well as others; should make it possible to use .netmodules as
745 well. (FELIX-439)
746* [2007-12-17] Make the win32 alias match any version of windows for native
747 clauses. (FELIX-438)
748* [2007-12-14] Removed auto-property processing out of the framework and
749 into the default launcher, i.e, main. (FELIX-393)
750* [2007-12-13] Fix a StackOverflowError in URLHandlers.createStreamHandler()
751 when creating URL on jamvm and Mika. This patch resolves an unfortunate
752 interaction between our ExtensionManager and the URLHandlers by making the
753 URLHandlers aware of the extension protocol. Pretty much like we do already
754 for the bundle protocol. (FELIX-435)
755* [2007-11-26] Fix a small oversight in the extension manager that could lead
756 to a null pointer exception and save some memory by creating less objects.
757* [2007-11-26] Degrate to version 0.0.0 if we can not find the Felix.properties
758 for some reason and avoid a null pointer in this case.
759* [2007-11-08] Reorganized usage count methods to better handle null
760 reference checking in response to Karl Pauls seeing an NPE when trying to
761 get a service that was already unregistered while shutting down the
762 framework.
763* [2007-11-06] Added a simple check to detect and work around a bug in J9.
764 (FELIX-416)
765* [2007-10-30] Change how the extension manager url stream handler handles
766 request to the root path in order to make some tomcat issue go away.
767 (FELIX-414)
768* [2007-10-26] Added support for "/" bundle resources as requested. (FELIX-383)
769* [2007-10-24] Use system bundle when firing a framework error event when an
770 install error occurs.
771* [2007-10-22] Fix a NPE when getEntryPaths is called on the system bundle.
772 (FELIX-394)
773* [2007-10-16] Modifies bundle resource URL handling such that if a resource
774 URL points to a resource that does not exist, a bundle class path search
775 for the resource will be instigated and if any matching resource is found,
776 that one will be used instead. (FELIX-383)
777* [2007-10-10] Auto-property handling now installs bundles into the default
778 bundle start level if a start level is not specified. (FELIX-359)
779* [2007-10-08] Overwrite the URLStreamHandler.getHostAddress(URL) in the
780 ExtensionManager to immediately return null to prevent DNS lookup.
781 (FELIX-388)
782* [2007-09-30] Resolved a concurrency issue that could result in the same
783 bundle being resolved more than once; also tried to simplify locking in
784 the core search policy implementation. (FELIX-381)
785
786Changes from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1
787---------------------------
788
789* [2007-07-23] Fixed a bug in the framework shutdown process which was
790 causing threads calling Felix.stopAndWait() to not get notified that
791 the framework had shutdown. (FELIX-329)
792* [2007-08-15] Fixed a bug in the LDAP filter which was not thread safe
793 on execution. (FELIX-338)
794* [2007-08-17] Added support for persistent last used bundle ID to avoid
795 re-use of bundle identifiers. (FELIX-339)
796* [2007-08-23] Modified BundleImpl.getHeaders(Locale) to accept a null
797 locale. (FELIX-346)
798* [2007-09-11] Added support to handle external termination of Felix
799 which was not handled or detected and prevented a restart of future
800 Felix instances in the same VM. (FELIX-363)
801* [2007-09-12] Add support for Collection values in the LDAP filter to
802 match the 4.1 spec.
803* [2007-09-12] Fixed a bug in the LDAP filter where attributes where
804 limited to [a-zA-Z ] so didn't allow for e.g., numbers. (FELIX-361)
805* [2007-09-13] Enable support for exporting the same package more than
806 once (FELIX-101).
807* [2007-09-13] Returns the system bundle from a call to
808 PackageAdmin.getBundle(Class) in case the class comes from the
809 classloader (or one of its parents) that loaded Felix and the system
810 bundle exports the package.
811* [2007-09-16] Fixed a bug in class space filtering in the service registry
812 that could result in class cast exceptions for service clients.
813* [2007-09-16] Fixed a bug that prevented extension bundle exports to be
814 usable.
815

824* [2007-01-22] Improved native library naming normalization. (FELIX-26)
825* [2007-01-23] No longer eagerly resolving classes loaded from modules

831 capability/requirement model of the resolver. (FELIX-28)
832* [2007-02-05] Fixed a bug in processor type normalization for x86-64
833 processors.
834* [2007-02-09] The resolver previously ignored packages that were pending
835 removal when resolving new bundles, now it does not.
836* [2007-02-09] Bundles are automatically refreshed when updated/uninstalled
837 if none of their exported packages are in use.
838* [2007-02-13] Added support for extension bundles. (FELIX-30)
839* [2007-03-02] Added a Bundle.getBundleContext() method until actual
840 support for OSGi R4.1.
841* [2007-04-26] Modified Bundle.findEntries() to return URLs to directory
842 entries as well as file entries.
843* [2007-05-06] Modified LDAP evaluator to special case the fact that

850 prepend information to the resource path.
851* [2007-06-13] Improved dynamic imports to cycle through all available
852 candidates when checking for class space consistency.
853* [2007-06-18] Improved service registry filtering based on class versions
854 to allow a bundle to register a service for a different version of class
855 that it can access.
856* [2007-06-21] Modified our "last ditch effort" to guess when to delegate
857 to the system bundle to make it a little more robust.
858* [2007-06-29] Fixed a bug in EventDispatcher that was causing asynchronous

865 simplified API for creating framework instances.
866* [2007-07-11] Removed the PropertyResolver-related classes and now only
867 use Maps for configuration properties. (FELIX-324)
