                    ==================

  Overview
  --------

  This release of Apache Karaf is based off of the 2.2.x series branch, representing an
 update to Apache Karaf 2.2.5. It contains bug fixes identified in the prior release,
 and introduces improvements including; improved Windows, AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris support
 in the service wrapper, three new deployer demos showing how to make an OSGi bundle, a
 features file, and how to wrap a third party jar into a bundle, and support for ssh public
 key authentication and agent forwarding. A few new commands also appear in this release
 including; features:status to indicate feature loaded or not, feature:chooseurl to make
 it easy to install well known feature files, and a watch command to allow users to watch
 the output of a karaf command like when using the unix watch mechanism. Several dependencies
 were also updated, bringing Spring to 3.0.7-RELEASE, eventadmin to 1.2.14, Apache Pom
 to version 10, the maven bundle plugin to 2.3.7, and fileinstall to 3.2.0.

                    ==================

  Overview
  --------

   New to this release of Apache Karaf is a JAAS Database Login Module, a way to store
 passwords in a secured way, a mechanism that allows a karaf application to distinguish 
 between UserPrincipal and RolePrincipal without depending from the Karaf JAAS Module. 
   The shell console has been enhanced to be available in a plain non-OSGi environment and
 smart tab completion has been improved, along with various commands. 
   We have also resolved a number of outstanding issues, and improved support on OS X and 
 IBM Java based systems. For more detail please see the change log below.
