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 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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |
