The Felix team is pleased to announce the release of the Felix Dependency
Manager version r8.
This release is available from:
http://felix.apache.org/downloads.cgi
<http://felix.apache.org/site/downloads.cgi>
This new release requires the usage of a recent JAVA8 runtime (at least
version 1.8.0_74 if you are using dm-lambda library), and provides some new
features:
- configuration types, which are described in [1] and [2]
- dependency manager lambda, a new library based on java8 lambda
expressions and method references, see [3]
The general documentation for dependency manager can be found from [4]
