Apache Karaf 2.1.5 Released!

After several attempts again to update the new Scalate based web site (dang its picky rendering tables, links), the Karaf team is pleased to announce the availability of Apache Karaf 2.1.5.

This release of Apache Karaf is based off of the 2.1.x series branch, representing an update to Apache Karaf 2.1.4. It contains several bug fixes identified in the prior release, including; improved Eclipse console karaf shell output, handling TAB characters in feature repository to avoid resoultion errors when adding features to repo, and multiple fixes to the config shell. IMPORTANT: This patch release also updates the Felix Framework from version 3.0.2 to 3.0.9.

To help make the transition from Apache Karaf 2.1.0/2.1.1/2.1.2/2.1.3/2.1.4 to 2.1.5 easier I've put together the following table of changed dependencies:

As discussed in my prior Apache Karaf 2.1.5 preparation post, I enjoyed listening to The Novaks through out the release process and was delighted to try the Jacob's Creek Merlot once the release was out. Now that my carafe is freshly emptied, I'm looking towards Karaf 2.2.1 and decanting a bottle of Carpineto Chianti Castaldo 2008 :)
