Hello, This is a welcome to Emily Jiang and Chris Wilkinson, both of whom were voted in as new committers on the Apache Aries project at the end of October.
Under ARIES-359, Chris has contributed a new runtime for Aries applications in which each application's content runs in its own isolated framework, with another framework for their shared dependencies. This implements an important part of the Aries application programming model. Chris has provided several other patches and is still improving the isolated runtime module. Under ARIES-361, Emily has contributed extensive new code that allows us to model Aries applications, and use Felix OBR to resolve them, generating a deployment manifest suitable for the new isolated runtime. Emily has also provided many patches in and around this area. Welcome to both of you! Regards, Mark
