                   Apache ServiceMix Kernel 1.0.0
                   ==============================

 Overview
 --------

This release is the first GA release of ServiceMix Kernel.  A few bugs and enhancements have been done 
to the Kernel since the second release candidate. The most two important fixes from a user point of view
are SMX4KNL-70 which makes sure the bundles provided in the distribution are used first instead of the ones
from the user's local maven repository and SMx4KNL-77 which allows artifacts in the /deploy folder to be 
started when the needed dependencies have been installed successfully (the previous behavior was to fail
if there were missing bundles when the artifact is processed).
See the change log below for more informations.

 Changelog
 ---------

 The following list shows the bug fixes and enhancements included in this release:

** Bug

                  ==================================

Overview
--------

This second Release Candidate of Apache ServiceMix Kernel includes a few bug fixes and a few new features.
The main change is that the system folder that contains the OSGi bundles to install in the runtime is now
organized as a maven 2 repository, though it should not directly affect users.  A more detailed changelog
is following.

                  Apache ServiceMix Kernel 1.0-rc1
                  ================================

This first Release Candidate of Apache ServiceMix Kernel includes a security framework based on
JAAS allowing authentication using JAAS realms deployed at runtime and also allow keystores and
trustores to be deployed and accessed through OSGi.  This allow the remote console to be secured
correctly (if the console is activated in a production environment, we strongly recommand to 
deploy a custom JAAS realm and new keystores when using the SSL connection).  A few bugs have been
fixed too.

A release candidate (RC) is a distribution that has not been proven completely stable, but the 
feature set is the one that will be available in the final release.   The number of RCs has not 
been fixed and it will depend on the feedback we obtain from this release, so please give it a try
and report any problems you can find.

** Bug
    * [SMX4KNL-38] - Fix NullPointerException instead of Command not found in the console
    * [SMX4KNL-40] - Remote console does not display output

    * [SMX4KNL-44] - Changed bundles restarted twice
    * [SMX4KNL-45] - The "log display" command does not display anything when running from an instance that has been created using the "admin create" command
    * [SMX4KNL-46] - After using the 'admin create' command, cpu goes to 100% until another command is entered
    * [SMX4KNL-48] - ulimit error on MacOS X Leopard 10.5
    * [SMX4KNL-50] - Kernel does not start on Windows
