This release contains lots of bug fixes and a few notable new features:
- New provider fastbin: This is donated by redhat and implements a fast
binary transport based on nio/protobuf. It is recommended to use this
instead of the tcp provider for production
- Felix gogo command endpoints that lists all endpoints known to the
discovery
- New config discovery. This allows to export existing OSGi services by
creating a config
Known issues:
During the release I had problems creating the OBR index. So this
release does not include the OBR index. It still contains the repository
pom though. So
it is easy to create your own index by refering to this pom. As I think
there are not many people using the OBR index I continued with the release.
Btw. future version might only contain the pom anyway I will start a
thread to discuss this on the dev list.
