I'd like to release blueprint-core 1.9.0 and blueprint-cm 1.2.0 soon.
It includes a number of new important features and a bunch of bug fixes.
If you have any need for something, now is the time, I can spend some time
fixing or implement new stuff.
Let me know asap, else I'll cut a release next week.
If I find some time after the release, I may end up creating a new
namespace and merging the raw blueprint namespace with the ext / cm one.
One important additional feature would be to rework the ConfigAdmin support
to support injecting configuration using custom annotations (as in DS 1.3)
and support for prototype services.
Cheers,
Guillaume
