Hi, Are there any plans when 1.6.0 will be out? Thanx, On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 7:56 PM, Richard S.

I just deployed a 1.5.0 snapshot for your pleasure or feel free to build from trunk. I hope people will spend some time playing with this snapshot since it has seen some major refactoring under the covers. There are two main areas where there was a lot of refactoring: 1. The structure of the code was simplified to remove a lot of the generic module layer and make it more specific to OSGi, since in all likelihood we will never implement a different module system on top of the module layer. These changes are not complete, but since they are implementation details we can finish this refactoring in later releases. Hopefully, these changes will not impact anyone. 2. The locking/concurrency approach was refactored quite a bit. Mainly, we try to be a little more precise and strict in our locking. However, since strictness and precision can lead to deadlocks, we have tried to make the locking interruptible in the case a potential deadlock is detected. I just committed the final changes (I hope) in this area for this snapshot. It is possible that these changes will impact users, so testing by people using multiple threads is greatly appreciated. Please report any issues back to the mailing list or with JIRA, thanks. -> richard
