                  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.

The number of RCs has not been fixed and it will depend on the feedback we obtain from this release.

** Bug
    * [SMX4KNL-38] - Fix NullPointerException instead of Command not found in the console
    * [SMX4KNL-40] - Remote console does not display output
    * [SMX4KNL-41] - When using the remote command on the client from the command line, the process does not exit correctly
    * [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

** Improvement
    * [SMX4KNL-39] - Make bundle locations for SMX configurable

** New Feature
    * [SMX4KNL-35] - Secure the connection between the client and the kernel in some way
    * [SMX4KNL-37] - JAAS support


                  Apache ServiceMix Kernel 1.0-m3
                  ================================

This third milestone of Apache ServiceMix Kernel brings a lot of new features:
  * a provisioning system to install applications easily
  * a log shell to visualize the logging output and change log levels
  * pipe support on commands

Note that this milestone does not include the latest spring version because 
the latest ones have wrong OSGi manifest headers and do not work.

    * [SMX4KNL-21] - Allow pipes in command syntax
    * [SMX4KNL-25] - Feature commands enhancement.
    * [SMX4KNL-32] - Lazy load feature repositories to avoid delay when the url can not be accessed or things like that

** New Feature
    * [SMX4KNL-1] - Implements a log command
    * [SMX4KNL-11] - Provisioning system
    * [SMX4KNL-20] - Adding a new OBR command to reload the repository url's

    * [SMX4KNL-27] - Include an implementation of the Preferences service

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

    * [SMX4KNL-15] - Display of memory size using the info command on Windows is ugly
    * [SMX4KNL-16] - Bad error message when startup.properties lists a unknown file (the file name is not displayed, but 'null' instead)
    * [SMX4KNL-18] - No need for DynamicImport-Package=* in filemonitor
    * [SMX4KNL-19] - Performance problems when using the OSGi classloaders in a certain way
