I have released a version of Oscar (0.9.4a) that really fixes, rather than partially fixes, the refresh problem under Windows. Even though this issue only directly impacts Windows users, it is worthwhile for Linux users to download it to avoid unneeded open file pointers. Have fun. -> richard |

I released Oscar 0.9.4 today. This release is definitely worth the upgrade. For Windows users, it fixes a "refresh" bug that was introduced in the pre-releases and for everyone else it introduces new features and more specification compliance, including the initial implementation of a Start Level service from the OSGi 3 specification. Definitely the best release yet. Please read the change log to see what else might impact your projects: http://oscar-osgi.sf.net/changes.html -> richard |

Hello everyone, I have released an updated version of Oscar today. The last release of Oscar was a major re-engineering effort, but this new release focused on smoothing out the rough edges of the last release. While this release is still considered a "pre-release" of version 0.9.4, it should be as stable as previous versions of Oscar. The next release of Oscar will be 0.9.4 final, which I plan to add support for the new OSGi start-level service. Specifically regarding this new release, anyone heavily using threads should upgrade from 0.9.4pre1 to 0.9.4pre2. Enjoy. -> richard |

A pre-release of Oscar version 0.9.4 is now available. This release represents a major re-engineering effort for Oscar, so I am making this pre-release available for testing and feedback. Please, if you have the time, try to run your applications on this version and let me know how it works. Thanks. -> richard |

A new Oscar update is now available that should once and for all get rid of a class loading bug that has been rearing its head the last couple of releases...I promise! :^) -> richard |

I have just released a new version of Oscar because I found a bug in class loading that could result in improper "class not found" and "class cast" exceptions; this bug was introduced in version 0.9.3, so anyone using that version or newer should upgrade to be safe. -> richard p.s. FYI -- I am nearing completion of a major re-engineering effort on Oscar and expect to release a "developer" snapshot on Source Forge soon. At that time I will start to beg people to download it and send me feedback, both good and bad...keep your eyes open. |

Hello again. A few minor issues arose in the new Oscar release. I debated whether I should update the packages or not. In the end, I decided it was better to release early and often. If the changes don't affect you, then there is no reason to download this update. For detail, check out: http://oscar-osgi.sf.net/changes.html -> richard |
From: Richard S. H. <he...@un...> - 2003-04-11 17:38:50

A new version of Oscar was released today that includes features from the newly released OSGi 3.0 specification. In addition, the license for Oscar was changed to the Apache Software License. Read the following link for more details: http://oscar-osgi.sf.net/changes.html Have fun. -> richard |

I have just released a new and improved version of Oscar! The best one yet! ;^) Please see the changes document for more information: http://oscar-osgi.sf.net/changes.html In this release I have introduced a new bundle repository that allows you to install the example bundles off of the Web. If you have bundles that you would like included in the repository, please contact me. Have fun, -> richard |

That's right, there is a new Oscar update! First things first, some preliminary information: 1. The Oscar release package is now divided into multiple pieces to reduce its size; you only need to download the main oscar_20020502.jar package -- the new installer will allow you to choose the other components you want to install. 2. It appears that Source Forge is having some difficulties lately, because I am having trouble downloading, it freezes for long periods of time -- I don't believe this is related to the new install routine because I am using it with another project and also because I am also having difficulties downloading from Source Forge with Mozilla. Now for some highlights of this release: 1. OSGi security permissions -- now it is possible to run Oscar with the security manager enabled! I am fairly confident in the security features, but I surely would appreciate some stress tests! 2. An improved HttpService, thanks to Rob Walker. 3. A handful of new bundles. For more details, read the changes.html document at: http://oscar-osgi.sourceforge.net Have fun. -> richard |

A new version of Oscar is available for download. A lot of changes went into this update, quite a few bug fixes and new features. This release should [hopefully] go a long way towards making Oscar more usable and stable; for details, check out the change list: http://oscar-osgi.sourceforge.net/changes.html As always, feedback is appreciated. -> richard |

I have released an updated version of Oscar. This is new release is mostly minor and corrects a few issues with bundle updating; it turned out that bundle updating only worked for bundles that had embedded JAR files. A few other bugs were fixed as well. Work continues on ServiceTracker... -> richard |

I have released a new version of Oscar that fixes two major bugs with the "refresh packages" functionality of the last release. Anyone that downloaded the release last week is strongly encouraged to download the new package: http://oscar-osgi.sourceforge.net Sorry for the inconvenience. -> richard |

I have released a new version of Oscar today. One of the biggest changes is the support for updating a bundle and refreshing its exported packages via the PackageAdmin service of the OSGi 2.0 specification; this is the first step (of many) towards 2.0 compliance. I tested the release on my machine and all of my bundles worked correctly; there wasn't much in the way of third party testing (except for Yann!) so it is quite possible that some problems still lurk, so please let me know if you run into any. The new release is backwards compatible with profiles from the last version. To download the new release, go to: http://sourceforge.net/projects/oscar-osgi To see the changes in this release, go to: http://oscar-osgi.sourceforge.net/changes.html Cheers, -> richard |
