***********
Project
=======
* Added samples to the project repository
* Removed the static website from the repository
* Added the project to `Coveralls <https://coveralls.io/>`_
* Increased code coverage
Framework
=========
* Added a ``BundleActivator`` decorator, to define the bundle activator class.
The ``activator`` module variable should be replaced by this decorator.
* Renamed specifications constants: from ``XXX_SPEC`` to ``SERVICE_XXX``
iPOPO
=====
* Added a *waiting list* service: instantiates components as soon as the iPOPO
service and the component factory are registered
* Added ``RequiresMap`` handler
* Added an ``if_valid`` parameter to binding callbacks decorators: ``Bind``,
``Update``, ``Unbind``, ``BindField``, ``UpdateField``, ``UnbindField``.
The decorated method will be called if and only if the component valid.
* The ``get_factory_context()`` from ``decorators`` becomes public to ease
the implementation of new decorators
Remote Services
===============
* Large rewriting of Remote Service core modules
* Now using OSGi Remote Services properties
* Added support for the OSGi EDEF file format (XML)
* Added an abstract class to easily write RPC implementations
* Added mDNS service discovery
* Added an MQTT discovery protocol
* Added an MQTT-RPC protocol, based on Node.js
`MQTT-RPC module <https://github.com/wolfeidau/mqtt-rpc>`_
* Added a Jabsorb-RPC transport. Pelix can now use Java services and vice-versa,
using:
* `Cohorte Remote Services <https://github.com/isandlaTech/cohorte-remote-services>`_
* `Eclipse ECF <http://wiki.eclipse.org/ECF>`_ and the
`Jabsorb-RPC provider <https://github.com/isandlaTech/cohorte-remote-services/tree/master/org.cohorte.ecf.provider.jabsorb>`_
Shell
=====
* Enhanced completion with ``readline``
* Enhanced commands help generation
* Added arguments to filter the output of ``bl``, ``sl``, ``factories``
and ``instances``
* Corrected ``prompt`` when using ``readline``
* Corrected ``write_lines()`` when not giving format arguments
* Added an ``echo`` command, to test string parsing
Services
========
* Added support for *managed service factories* in ConfigurationAdmin
* Added an EventAdmin-MQTT bridge: events from EventAdmin with an
*event.propagate* property are published over MQTT
* Added an early version of an MQTT Client Factory service
Miscellaneous
=============
* Added a ``misc`` package, with utility modules and bundles:
* ``eventadmin_printer``: an EventAdmin handler that prints or logs the
events it receives
* ``jabsorb``: converts dictionary from and to the Jabsorb-RPC format
* ``mqtt_client``: a wrapper for the `Paho <http://www.eclipse.org/paho/>`_
MQTT client, used in MQTT discovery and MQTT-RPC.
