[Costin L. <cos...@ya...>]

Hi everybody,

I'm pleased to announce that Spring Dynamic Modules for OSGi(tm) Service
Platforms (formerly known as Spring OSGi) 2.0.0 M1 final has been released.

The full announcement can be found at
SpringSource.org: http://j.mp/3CNLjQ
Forums: http://j.mp/c4auF
and even Twitter: http://j.mp/BdE8X

The first release in the 2.x branch, M1 provides the first, complete
OSGi 4.2 Blueprint Service Reference Implementation (RI).

Other noticeable improvements:
* migration to JDK 5 and Spring 3.x
* updated documentation on Blueprint Service
* enhanced tooling support
* new service exporter/importer options
* improved proxy performance and generation
* importer support for collection of service references
* faster shutdown algorithm

and numerous enhancements and bug fixes.

For using OSGi 4.2 Blueprint Service, JDK 5 or Spring 3 in an OSGi
environment, we recommend Spring Dynamic Modules 2.0.0.M1!
Note that compatibility with OSGi 4.0 and 4.1 platforms has been
preserved (please consult the reference documentation for more details).

Feedback and suggestions are welcome!
Cheers,
